Rojan

Rojan, leader of a Kelvan Empire expedition to the Milky Way Galaxy.

The Kelvan Empire is a significant power in the Andromeda Galaxy, including the Kelvan homeworld and acquired territories. The Kelvan ethos called for expansion through the conquest and control of 'inferior' species, rather than traditional colonization.

Kelvans predicted rising radiation levels in Andromeda would render their galaxy uninhabitable to their species within 10,000 years. Around the 20th Century, the Kelvan Empire dispatched multi-generational starships to their neighboring galaxies, searching for new territories suitable for conquest and occupation. A Kelvan expedition arrived in the Milky Way Galaxy in 2268.

The military power and influence of the Kelvan Empire, in relation to other Andromedan civilizations, is unclear. Kelvans encountered by the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) possessed highly advanced technology, and did not regard the Federation as a significant impediment to conquest. (TOS: "By Any Other Name")

Apocrypha

The Last Unicorn Games RPG book All Our Yesterdays states that, in the 123rd century, the Kelvan race invades the Milky Way galaxy however as this is an RPG source, its not to be considered part of canon.
