Oh my. Even so… While 500 Billion refugees are a lot, I bet that in the six hundred years since the TOS era, terraforming planets has become old hat. It shouldn’t be that hard to settle them. I’d think that since it was going to take a long amount of time to travel, the majority are in some sort of stasis or suspension.
Half a trillion beings, twice the size of an adult Klingon, with the coordination to operate a hundred tentacles simultaneously and a dispassionate, unwavering belief in their species’ manifest destiny. Unless Rojan and his crew sent a message back to the effect of ‘BTW, these human suits are awesome, everyone totally needs to wear one for the trip over!’, the Kelvans probably aren’t going to wait for terraforming when they could turn an entire population into novelty d20’s and co-opt their infrastructure.
Onna other hand, six centuries is a lot of room for social and technological development when you’re not spending it in the intergalactic void…
*steps to protein resequencer* Gonna need some extra buttery popcorn for this!
Well frak.
“Galatica Calling……”
Hmmm. A few familiar shapes in there…
Interesting. So… will we be seeing the Kelvans in their original form?
WHOOPS.

Oh hey, Kirk sent a message back. He’d have totally included the bit about human suits, probably in shades of green and with C-cups.
Six centuries are also a good amount of time for enormous amounts of cultural regression to take place.
As the age old saying goes, “Dis gon’ be gud.”
