The Ka'Leigh are physically on average much taller than humans but much slimmer. They have very pale skin which is a color very close to white as well as pointed ears. Their hair is always long and light in color ranging from a light brown to a shade of white-blue. They have become sheer masters of their minds in a way that is similar to the betazoids, however the Ka' Leigh have no telepathic ability.








The Ka'Leigh have a mastery of the physical world. They can cloak themselves as well as teleport themselves from place to place (as long as it is in line of sight and no more than generally around 50 metres) sheerly by heavy thought. Around 2% of the population also have the ability to harness their mental energy into Telekinetic energy which allows them to move objects and other things formed from matter (eg. People). Again, the subject must be in line of sight and within around 50 metres distance, and cannot be moving around quickly, else their brains cannot get a lock.

The Ka'Leigh are a very paranoid and secrative people, especially the older ones who experienced the Dominion War. The Ka'Leigh are initially very hostile to outsiders. They have been isolated and they have gotten scared. However they are not a racist or biggoted people, they are just a overly cautious. Once they come to accept a people, like they have now come to except many members of the Federation, they become a more open, caring and sensual people.

Whilst there are mechanical methods of transportation, and they do have transporters, the Ka'Leigh have extremely long legs which enable them to run from place to place, or if it is too far they teleport and then run, then teleport and then run again. Rush hour on New Eden is an incredible tangle of bodies which looks like a constantly shifting marathon with bodies disapearing and reappearing at a great speed as people go in all directions. It is beautiful yet very alien.

The Ka'Leigh body is totally smooth other than the hair they have on their head. Men grow no facial hair, and because of skin tone the species is said to look like a giant porcelain statue. The Ka'Leigh women are universally appealing and from what the Magellan Medical Team determined they are genetically and physically compatable with most humanoid races. This fact greatly excited many people who went on shore leave.

The Ka'Leigh don't see life in the same way we all do. They see it as an adventure or even a learning experience. If they can no longer see and learn new things and they have completed all promises and obligations they choose to end their lives. The reason for their strange views on life is that medical care is so good that illness and disease are rare, and they can physically live to 1000 Earth years. Tristan (his real name is unpronouncable by Humans, so he adopted this name), the leader of the Ka'Leigh promised his people freedom when the Jem'Hadar began to attack. Tristan is now over 500 years old, and he had planned to die after freeing his people. However, he now sees a whole universe out there to explore and wants to learn about Confederation cultures.
