610th Kaplan

The Kaplan of the Astran Empire at the beginning of the Space War in 2065 was an Astran whose skin was a reddish orange. (COMIC: Colonel Zodiac Disappears) He (PROSE: Kaplan Assassinated!) used a large purple hover-disc with gold adornments. (COMIC: Colonel Zodiac Disappears)

The 610th Kaplan (PROSE: Civil War) first came to power twenty-seven years prior to 2065 and was returned to the office in the elections of 2061 by a ninety percent poll. He was considered "a great being". (PROSE: Kaplan Assassinated!)

The Kaplan reprimanded his second-in-command the Kaplan Minus for mistreating a peace emissary after the Minus almost disintegrated Steve Zodiac, refusing to listen to the Minus's protests that Zodiac may be an assassin or otherwise dangerous. After Zodiac explained his mission to him, the Kaplan agreed to come to Earth to discuss the terms of, and ultimately sign, a peace treaty with the President of Earth. (COMIC: Colonel Zodiac Disappears) However, the Kaplan was subsequently assassinated. (COMIC: The Amaryll Challenge)
