611th Kaplan

The Kaplan Minus was the second-in-command of the Astran Empire, an Astran whose skin was lime-green. The Minus used a hover-disc that was three times as large as regular Astrans' and adorned with a huge golden ruff.

During the Space War, after Steve Zodiac was captured and brought to Astra based on his claims that he had an important message to bring to the Kaplan, the Minus had Zodiac brought before them. The Minus prepared to destroy Zodiac using their energy ray; however, before they could do more than cause some pain to him, the actual Kaplan interrupted them. Despite the Minus's weak protests that they believed Zodiac was a threat who might attempt to assassinate the Kaplan, the Kaplan reprimanded the Minus and agreed to parlay with Zodiac (who was acting on behalf of the President of Earth).
