The Kilonians were former enemies of the Pertharians. The Kilonians are very agressive and relentless fighters. With a highly evolved Killer Instinct. The leaders of the Kilonians decided that once the Pertharians were Union and there was no chance they could be victorious they would either need a new enemy or they would as they have done before turn on themselves. The people of Kilon agreed that they need to develop a new culture and they simply decided to take on Union Culture and it was quite a suprise when the Kilonian Delegation showed up at Bridgehead to be taken toThe Assembly on Pluribus. The Kilonians were deeply impressed by the many different life forms and felt some kinship to the Klack, because they shared some physiolgical similarities. Today Kilonians can be found all over Union Space in almost all social roles.

Kilonians resemble large Centipedes and can be just as vicious. To honor their decission seven regiments of the Old Kilonian Frenzy Killer Infantry have been retained and are a special Mission force of the United Stars Army.

there are approximatley 265 Million Kilonian Union Citizens registered. The average Kilonian grows to about 200 cm and weights about 190 -200 kilos. There are no visible distinction between male and female. Kilonians only make gender distinctions during the short mating season. The female lays up to 40 eggs (Strong Birth control measures for many centuries allow only 1-2 to be fertilized) and the male fertilizes them. Unfertilized Kilonian Eggs are sold on the XChange for food (a common practice). After a three stage development phase of 6 month (egg, maggot, cocoon) an adult Kilonian emerges, but it takes another 15 years of education to make it a Society Enterer. Naturally they do not see well ( but use Cybernetic and optical improvements - Kilonians are vehemently opposed to genetic alterations) but have an excellent hearing and vibration sense thorugh their long feelers The Feelers are often cut, or tied to the body as they are getting in the way in a modern techno society and due to the now improved eye sight less important. They never developed any sort of Religion and the concept is quite foreign to them. They have very little fiction literature and only a very basic simple music style that focuses more on vibratons than sound.
