Humanoid in appearance (can change form), the Kelvans' true appearance remains an unexplained mystery. As refugees of a galaxy poisoned by heavy radiation, the Kelvans assumed humanoid form, and were finding themselves beginning to show characteristics of the bodies they assumed. The impression was that a Kelvan in true form would never conduct themselves in the manner that most humanoids do. The Federation helped settle them on a new planet.
