The Shrikem were an [[Elder Races|Elder Race]] created long ago by the [[Empyreals|Empyreal]], [[Omega]]. However, unlike some of the other races, they were not imbued with the power of [[Wild Kith]] and thus were dependent on technology for the advancement of their society. About 14 million years ago when Omega was ended and Wild Kith was dissipated, the Shrikem along with the other technology dependent Elder Races gained the advantage over the previously dominant [[Wild Kith Empires]] and rose to power as the [[Kith|kith]] dependent races quickly died out over the next two decades.

The Shrikem were pivotal in beating back the Ishvana using their combined telepathic powers to fracture its sub-quantum mind causing it to go insane and turn on itself. Had the Shrikem not done so, all the races within the Starmourn Sector surely would have been destroyed.
