Physical Characteristics[]

Kahler look identical to Humans except for green patterns on their faces. These patterns are unique and can be used to identify an individual.

Homeworld[]

The Kahler come from a planet that is also called Kahler. During a war that lasted nine years, half the planet was ravaged. Other than that, little information is given. The Gunslinger says that he is from an area called Gabrean. Kahler-Jex states that he knows that area and says that it is a beautiful place.

Culture[]

Individuals were always identified with the word "Kahler" in front of their name. They worship gods and believed that after dying, you had to climb a mountain carrying all the souls of those you've wronged.

Technology[]

The Kahler were most famous for their technology; the Doctor called them "one of the most ingenious species in the galaxy". They had spacecraft, hovering robots, teleportation, and could easily cure cholera.

During a war in the 19th century, they created an army of cyborgs using Kahler soldiers. These soldiers were equipped with a powerful energy weapon, an eye lens that had an automatic targeting system, sensors that could see through walls and identification software. They were also fitted with a short range teleport device.
