The Kuulan hologram was created by the chief engineer Ezral two years after his supply ship crash-landed on a planet in 2129. He was a re-creation of Kuulan, the captain of the ship who died in the crash, and assumed his namesake's duties. Ezral created him after first creating a re-creation of his wife Maya. He was created by Ezral so his daughter Liana would not be alone. In the final draft script of "Oasis", Kuulan was described as being in his "mid-fifties." The character was played by actor Rudolph Willrich.
