Kaylon

The Kaylon are a robotic species hailing from Kaylon-1 in The Orville TV Series.

Design
The Kaylon are humanoid in design and are assembled from a central production facility. While Kaylon possess visible eyes, they are merely for aesthetic purposes, instead the Kaylons rely on internal sensors to view their surroundings.

History
In an effort to improve relations with the planet Kaylon, the Planetary Union offered a post on their mid-class exploratory vessel, The Orville. Issac was sent as a representative in order to study human behavior. Later when The Orville returned Issac to his people, it was revealed that the Kaylon were created by a race of organics. During this period the Kaylon and their builders were in a state of unresolved conflict and coexistence was impossible. To survive the Kaylon wiped out their creators. In addition the real reason why the Kaylon sent Issac was to study organic life and determine if any were worth preserve before they launched a campaign to wipe out other races.

Culture
The Kaylon are well known to be a highly xenophobic species and view organic beings as inferior.
