Kel Dor

[Red]

The Kel Dor (singular and plural), sometimes referred to as Kel Dorians, were a species hailing from the technological planet Dorin.

They required masks to protect them when in oxygen-rich atmospheres. They were also known for their unique Force-using tradition, the Baran Do Sages.

One famous Kel Dor was the Jedi Master Plo Koon, who was a member of a famous Kel Dor Jedi family. Sha Koon, the Jedi Knight, was Plo Koon's niece.

The Kel Dor were a tall, muscular race, typically of the same height and weight as Humans. Their skin ranged in color from peach to a crimson red. Most had dark, black eyes, although some were born with silver irises, a mark that was often seen as an affinity for the Force.

Due to Dorin having a unique atmosphere composed of helium and a gas unique to their world, the Kel Dor had to wear an antiox breath mask and protective goggles whenever in atmospheres of a different composition. This equipment protected them from carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and oxygen, which were fatal to a Kel Dor. The breath mask also helped to amplify the Kel Dor's voice, as they must shout to produce any sound when out of their native atmosphere. Without their protective goggles, Kel Dor were considered effectively blind when away from Dorin.

The Kel Dor also had heightened reflexes, a result of extra-sensory organs in their heads. As a species, they were thought to be typically quick and wise, but of a weaker constitution, when compared to other species.
