A people who worship science and are all too willing to use it, the Kaleans are perhaps the universal example that morality isn't always black and white and perhaps there is too high a price to pay for technological advancement. The Kaleans have saved millions with their cutting edge medical technology that has become standard Alpha Quadrant issue, but they have also (Before the time of the Federation) obliterated entire colonies in the name of science and advancement. Genetic engineering, live experimentation, biological warfare, the Kaleans have done it all in centuries past. Most Kaleans will point out that most of these atrocities were committed under the auspices of their former Plutocracy two thousand years ago, though this is not strictly accurate. Kalean brutality on a large scale might have ceased but well hidden incidents of ethical breaches are recorded by Starfleet Intelligence, when confronted the Kaleans will always respond that the Federation is naive and a group of "Pot Kettle Blacks" for condeming Kalean research but reaping the benefits of it. | |||
Historically the Kaleans had a strong tradition of the wealthy and powerful oppressing the masses, with systematic abuses being committed daily. The concept of basic rights didn't even become a concrete concept until their Industrial Revolution when the people of one nation rebelled against their aristocratic tyrants and showed no mercy to anyone who was a part of, or even sympathetic to the Oligarchy. While the Kaleans continued to be ruled by greedy capitalist Plutocrats for several hundred more years, in 330 AD the people had enough and went on a frenzy to wipe out any established Upper Class. Over the next ten years after all the rich were either dead or inprisoned, the Kaleans went about extensively reforming their culture into one truly dedicated to science. The profit motive has been eliminated, competition is for the glory of ego than for money, and the Kaleans now boast the only true Egalitarian society in the Quadrant. | |||
Today the Kaleans are noted as dedicated and brilliant scientists who were the originators of most modern technology, but they are also known for their arrogance, supremacist tendencies, and continuing un-ethical conduct in the name of science. | |||
