Kerbal culture is manifold and colorful, though it goes back only a few hundred years. Before that is the Eon of Shade. No historical artifacts of any kind remain from this era, that streches seemingly endlessly back to the dawn of time. Kerbal scientists and historians are constantly scouring what few ruins remain, but nothing of significance has been found that could elucidate the happenings which eroded the history of an entire people. Theories range from a global cataclism to manipulations of historical accounts by unknown rulers of the past.
 
 
The scientific endeavours of three hundred years since the Awakening have taken the ever curious Kerbals higher than they would have ever imagined, but all their incredible strides in physics, mathematics and medicine can't make up for a lost legacy. While a wonderful flowering of culture and identity are sweeping the planet, a vast emptiness still pulls at the heart of every soul inhabiting the blue and green marble. Not being able to see beyond the weil of time is a curse that hangs persistently over the head of the Kerbal race.
 
 
The search seemed hopeless when a new horizon was suddenly uncovered as a then unknown astronomer named Archibald Kerman made a baffling discovery while mapping Kerbins then only known satellite, the Mun. Through his telescope he spotted tiny irregularities on the surface that couldn't have been formed naturally. After their discoverer these were named the "Mun Arches".
 
 
Maybe they were looking in the wrong place all along. What if the answers were hidden further away than they thought? The citizens of Kerbin all turned to this new possibility among the stars. When creativity and curiosity come together nothing is impossible, no frontier is final.
 
And the Kerbal Space Program was born.

This page is entirely speculation based on in-game observation and should not be taken as absolute fact!

Kerbals are the native denizens of the planet Kerbin. Kerbals appear to be bipedal. Mature kerbals stand roughly 0.75 meters in height.

Kerbals have a massive head with respect to their bodies, being nearly 50% of an adult kerbal's body mass.

Biology

  • Although kerbals appear mostly hairless, they have notable hair growth occurring chiefly on the top of the head.
  • Kerbal skin hues appear to range from light green to pale green.

Diet

Culture

Language

War

Material culture and technology

  • Limited observation makes this difficult to determine. Kerbal technology and architecture appears to share many similarities with the modernized nations of Earth during the 1970-2000's.
