The Eckin are a sentient race, if xenophobic and cautious, and boast a few spaceports which they use almost exclusively for hopping from planet to planet within the Zailt system, but they have no military force to speak of and no ground breaking technology that isn't centered around increasing steam production. The Eckin are quite wary of outsiders, and would prefer to be left alone. However, a certain fungus that grows on the steam vents in their tunnels is an essential component in several designer drugs, making them reluctant but semi-visible players on the galactic field. | The Eckin are a sentient race, if xenophobic and cautious, and boast a few spaceports which they use almost exclusively for hopping from planet to planet within the Zailt system, but they have no military force to speak of and no ground breaking technology that isn't centered around increasing steam production.

It is rare to see an Eckin outside the [[Zailt]] system, but not impossible, as several of them were unfortunately put into zoos despite their sentience. There is a "Free the Eckin" charity fund managed by a few people on Scatterhome. | It is rare to see an Eckin outside the [[Zailt]] system, but not impossible, as several of them were unfortunately put into zoos despite their sentience.
