Quilan is a few seasons older than Alanik, making him the UrDail cytonic closest to Alanik's age.{{book ref|sf2|1}} He cloaks his words and demands in diplomacy and tends to speak calmly, but is willing to use physical force to achieve his goals.
== Attributes and Abilities ==
Quilan's cytonic abilities include telepathy, [[mindblade|mindblades]] and concussion bolts, although he cannot teleport.
== History ==
Quilan contacted Alanik cytonically after the game between [[Independence]] and Unity pilots, telling her to report to the Council chambers. Alanik refused, but after a conversation with [[Rinakin]] they docked their ship at Quilan's orders. When Rinakin attempted to speak diplomatically with him, Quilan shot a concussion bolt at him. Communicating telepathically, Alanik learned that Quilan planned to turn her and Rinakin over to the [[Superiority]] in order to prove his worth to them. She managed to escape by hyperjumping to [[Detritus]], to Quilan's displeasure.{{book ref|sf2|3}}
When Alanik returned to ReDawn along with members of [[Skyward Flight]], Quilan commanded the offense against them and told the pilots to bring Alanik in alive. He sensed the cytonic powers of [[Jorgen]] and the [[taynix]] and was confused by it.{{book ref|sf2|9}} He contacted Jorgen telepathically, but Jorgen did not respond. He then chased after Alanik and attacked her ship with mindblades, which she dodged, but he successfully hit her with a concussion bolt, forcing her to crash-land on the platform.{{book ref|sf2|10}} Quilan and his Unity forces retreated to regroup after this battle, as they had no teleportation abilities and could not approach the platform without being fired on by the autoturrets.{{book ref|sf2|11}}

{{quote|
“Quilan’s voice reached into my mind again. I’m here in peace, he said. This doesn’t have to get aggressive.
I dug my nails harder into the armrest. His words made me want to scream. There was nothing quite so frustrating as soft words being wielded like clubs. At least a straightforward attack was honest; everyone could see it for what it was.”|
Alanik {{book ref|sf2|2}}}}
Quilan and Alanik are close in age and flew in the junior leagues together. They are now rivals, as Alanik is part of the Independence party while Quilan is a member of Unity. Alanik is angered by Quilan's diplomatic words, wishing he would be more direct.
