Legend

this species of sentient humanoids was native to the moon of Iktotch. A fierce race, the Iktotchi were noted for the large, down-turned horns that emerged from the sides of their heads. Their skulls and neck muscled were also enlarged, to support the heavy horns. The Iktotchi are also noted for their huge hands and tough, leathery skin, which protected them from the winds of their native world. Ancient Iktotchi evolved with legends of a vast, galactic community beyond the clouds of Iktotch, with a great deal of their civilization striving to build airships and see what was beyond the clouds. Old Republic scouts discovered the Iktotchi some 3,5000 before the Battle of Yavin, and were surprised to find the Iktotchi were actually waiting for them. This was due to the Iktotchi's innate form of precognition, which allowed them to foresee the arrival of the scout ship several weeks before it actually arrived. However, this ability to see into the future was strongest on Iktotch, and faded as an individual moved off-planet.
