The ears are simple holes at either side of the head.they have a row of breathing holes under each eye.

History and Culture: Kerestians evolved from mammalian carnivores and developed a modern, industrial civilization. Then disaster struck. The Kerestian sun, a red giant, slipped into a very unusual cycle of activity. Within a single year temperatures plummated. The world was plunged into a severe period of glaciation.

Politics: There are no politics on Kerestia. It is survival of the fittest there.

Technology Level: The Kerestians had developed Transwarp drive, and many other devices before the disaster.

In the Delta Quadrant: Before their planet began to die, they were known through out the Quadrant. They had trade routes as long as 35,000 light-years long.
