Roylan

The Roylan people are a native species to the planet Royla. First contact between the Roylans and United Federation of Planets occurred in 2230, accomplished by the crew of the USS Kelvin (NCC-0514) and at which Keenser became the first member of the species to leave the homeworld. 


 * The Startrek.com states that it is unclear whether Keenser's species are Federation members or not. It also suggests they may be mute (which was disproven in the movie Star Trek Into Darkness) or just unwilling or unable to use the universal translator.
