Kirik

The Kirik are an insectoid race native to Ekram. They appear to have control over biotic powers, and are able to communicate using their biotics. The Kirik appear to be intelligent, and their complex social structure is thought to contribute to their considerable learning ability (their learning ability has been compared to that of earth's dolphins). Amidst a debate on whether the Kirik should be 'uplifted' to the galactic community, the Citadel Council has sent representatives to evaluate their level of intelligence and compare it to standard galactic sapience tests.
