About Eban[]
Eban Kalaya is the communications officer aboard Captain D.G. Baley's Settler ship. During a strategic meeting concerning the mission to Solaria, Kalaya was initially silent, conscious of his relative junior status among the senior officers, a feeling accentuated by being the only man present without facial hair. He eventually spoke to voice the common Settler belief that robots are incapable of harming human beings, citing the First Law of Robotics. Captain Baley directly countered this assertion by pointing to the destruction of two previous Settler ships on Solaria as evidence that the robots posed a genuine and lethal threat, a reality that defined their cautious approach to the planet.
