History

Their early history was one of constant wars. As a result it took a long time before any form of industrial revolution occured on their world. In fact they almost wiped themselves out a few times. The last time this happened was the last time they fought a war among themselves. Ever since then they have had a single world government.

The Yelikands had a transport set for departure from Deep Space Nine in 2370, when Minister Jaro announced Kira's recall to Bajor.
