Icte

Icte, the

Homeworld : Ii,   Home Galaxy: Sextans (First Cubicle )  TL 4    AL 6

among the most unique life forms encountered. The Icte are not like any other life form. They are not humanoid, bird like, insectoids, not Takkian  silicooids..simply different. They are the only Sulfur based sentient life form and utilize elemental sulfur instead of oxygen, reducing sulfur to hydrogen sulfide.

The world they developed on is a volcanic sulfuric hell  hole to most carbon based life. Their language and math is based on the number 5.

They were known to the Golden and the Neste of the Sextans galaxy and were nearly made extinct by the Fis.

There are only about 12,000 Icte left (known), about 10,000 on their home planet and 2,000 that had been liberated from the Fis slave camp. The Fis called them useless, as no one wanted to eat them, use them or find them good workers.

The Icte home world had been depopulated by the Fis.

The remainin Icte, have joined the Union, but are not really participating in anything.
