Kei

Kei (The Akirian Highness) is a Colony leader in Master of Orion.

Background
The soft, jelly like bodies of the Akirian have made them horrifically unsuited for combat, so they have collectively turned their interests towards science and academia. Kei, a curious creature with no eyes, limbs, or voice, took to the skies in order to learn more about the surrounding galaxy.

Trivia
This description of the Akirians fit that of the Glis instead in the finished game.
