Iodes

Iodes were the predecessors to the Ikkans. They were better in almost every way. Their technology was more advanced, yet they believed that they were on the ground for a reason. They completely rejected the idea of trying to fly because it was not clear to them how that could benefit society. They did, however want a better lifestyle, but they simply did not have the time nor manpower. This forced them to enslave the more abundant Ikkan population and use them for all of the more dangerous jobs, construction, etc. It was fine until the Ikkans fought back and the Iodan Civil war began. The war proved to be the end of the Iodes as they were eventually hunted to extinction.
