Ikkaba: Difference between revisions

The Ikkaban had advanced technology rivaling those of species like [[the People]]. They had even developed some simple [[time travel]] technology. Unlike other such species, they did not form empires with this technology and left behind little but poems. ([[BNA]]: ''[[Walking to Babylon (novel)|Walking to Babylon]]'')

The Ikkabans traveled across the [[Mutter's Spiral]], and at least three other [[galaxies]], including the galaxy of [[the People]]. They traveled from at least [[BC|1450 BC]] to at least the [[5th century]] [[AD]]. During their long period of space travel, they influenced the creation of [[pyramid]]s in many cultures, including the [[Aztec]]s, the [[Babylon]]ians and the [[Yamaya]]ns. They later stopped their practice of meddling with other species and eventually, the entire civilization committed mass suicide.

After the Ikkaban died out, very little information was left about them. Many of their poems survived, though there was disagreement about the exact translations of the texts. [[Bernice Summerfield]] wrote a book called ''[[An Eye for Wisdom: Repetitive Poems of the Early Ikkaban Period]]'' in [[2595]] about these poems. The [[Ke Chedani]] also discovered several artifacts from Ikkaban society. ([[BNA]]: ''[[Walking to Babylon (novel)|Walking to Babylon]]'')
