History

• Warp Capable since 200 AD

Government

• Kalean society is divided up into many smaller Sects, small research crews that perform their own experiments in their own fields for their own personal glory. Sects of similar specialization will often compete against one another in a heated race of who can build it best. These Sects are often lead by the one or two most senior or most accomplished members of the group.

• All Sects are overseen by the Kalean Court and the Techart who oversee the foreign relations and mundane day to day running’s of Kalean society. The Techart choses his or her successor and they are expected to rule for no less than 2 years and no more than 10. Most do not aspire to become Techart since it takes them away from their individual research. The few Kaleans devoted to political or social sciences become members of the Kalean Court by default though are never chosen to lead, only advise in order to prevent a dedicated ruling class from emerging once again.

Description

• Blue skinned, pointed eared (Al-Leyan like), white haired.
• Four clawed digits
• Telekenetic ability, only able to move things up to 1.1x their normal carrying capacity
• All Kaleans are born T1/E1 and once they reach puberty these abilities will reach T2/E2, after fully developed physically their Empathic abilities will increase gradually increase to the point of E6 by the end of their lives but their Telepathic abilities will never go beyond those of a Vulcan. Most telepaths find Kaleans extremely hard to read.
• Through genetic engineering the Kalean average lifespan is 850 years, the oldest lived Kalean was 1,003.

Psychology

• Kaleans have an elitist view of the rest of the galaxy and see the other races as quaint and inferior and most Kanarians see them as intellectual subordinates but useful for a few, select purposes.
• The Kaleans have a deep distain for those completely useless to society in the form of the very rich or the very poor though their disdain for any sort of ruling or upper class is intense and inbred. The poor are only seen as useless if they should begin to leach off of the rest of society but Kaleans recognize that the poor are often victims of the rich.
• Sociopaths and narcissists are more common in Kalean society though these disorders (Despite common belief) are quickly taken care of through intensive therapy, death of personality if needed.

Military

• The Kaleans have no formal military and the Kanarians devoted to tactical and military sciences are by default assigned to the Peacekeepers. The Peacekeepers predominately fulfill police functions or strategists in times of war. Most Kaleans see the Peacekeepers as antiquated and useless but no one else wants to move away from their own research in order to do their job.
• All Kalean vessels are multipurpose and designed in a similar way to Starfleet ships as first and foremost vessels of exploration and applicators or tactical force second. The Kaleans have different but no more powerful military technology than the Federation and other Alpha Quadrant powers.
