Kelva
Type:	Planet
Native Species:	Kelvans
Location:	Andromeda Galaxy
Affiliation:	Kelvan Empire

Kelva was the homeworld of the Kelvan species and a component of the Kelvan Empire, located in the Andromeda Galaxy.

Kelvans predicted rising radiation levels in Andromeda would render their home uninhabitable to their species within 10,000 years, and were seeking new territories to conquer and occupy.

According to an idea by Spock, a robot ship was apparently sent to Kelva along with the Federation proposal of peaceful relations and to offer some planets in the galaxy for the Kelvans to colonize. The Kelvan response would however take 600 years to arrive.

A rapidly forming crystalline structure called sahsheer, reminiscent of flower blossoms found in the Milky Way Galaxy, was native to Kelva. (TOS: "By Any Other Name")
