Ikaaran

The Ikaarans are a humanoid species native to Ikaara.

They were once a warlike tribal species, fighting each other for dominance. However, in 2145, several more peaceful tribes joined together for protection and formed the Democratic Republic of Ikaara. By 2345, the republic had achieved FTL travel and expanded to 1/3rd of the northern continent. However, some more primitive tribes saw the Republic as a threat and led campaigns against them, igniting the Ikaaran Civil War. In 2347, they made contact with the Terran Federation and asked for their assistance in combat. However, they refused, saying it was against Terran Federation law to interfere in the internal affairs of another planet. However, they allowed some citizens to be evacuated until the issue passed.
