We get ``immense beings with hundreds of tentacles'', which leaves plenty of room for interpretation.
"Kelvans twice my size"?

The Kelvans sent a second wave of colony ships after they sent out the generational ship Rojan and his crew were born on.
Strangely I picture Donald Trump
If -now- is "modern", then wouldn't almost all of Trek be post-modern?
So does that mean there are tiny little hands at the ends of all those tentacles?
With wriggling wrangling touchy feely grabby little fingers attached, plus a mouth puckered up to kiss the nearest beauty pageant contestant
Worf actually said "Kelvins" in reference to his Kelvin Timeline self and other Klingons. Since everything in the Kelvin Timeline is bigger, Kelvin Worf is twice the size of Prime Worf, and the other Kelvin Klingons are of comparable size.
Perhaps there was some long distance contact perhaps via substance with the Kelvan Empire afterwards "By Any other name."?
I still don't see why he couldn't have met the descendants of the Kelvans we met in "By Any Other Name".
The Kelvans said it would 600 years to get back perhaps less given their modifications.
Other than that sort of explanation there's no evidence that contact between the Milky Way and Andromeda.
And we used to think we could get to the moon like this:
Technology changes with the time, and with it our perception of what we could achieve when.
There is no on-screen evidence for any sort of contact between the andromeda and Milky Way galaxies in Trek. The novels and STO are the same in that regard.

The Kelvans from "By Any Other Name" stayed in the Milky Way
No need to site the novels, it's right there in the episode.
By Any Other Name said:
The thing is, Kelvans had no shortage of self-confidence. Their galaxy was blowing up, Milky Way was their next-door neighbor, and they were prepared to conquer it for their use. Failure was not an option. Surely if it took generations for the scouts to cross, the invasion army would be in the next wave only a single generation behind at the very most, and the colonists in the wave after that...
There would be trillions of those unimaginable beasts pouring in during the 24th century, supposedly. Unless Rojan was allowed to send a message to them, dissuading them from coming. But I can't see what sort of a message would achieve that.
The question then goes (and no, this is not another comment on 21st century politics), would the Galactic Barrier help stop them? It supposedly killed most of Rojan's crew, but not the four we saw.
