Description[]
Kel Dors were a near-human sentient species that hailed from the planet Dorin in the Deadalis Sector of the Expansion Region. They were bald aliens with thick leathery skin that ranged in color from red to orange to beige. Kel Dors survived in a helium-rich environment, and oxygen was actually poisonous to them. When traveling off-world, they required special respiratory equipment when operating in an oxygen-rich atmosphere.
