Baniks were a Sebaceanoid slave race, with little known information. The race could hide memories from interrogators, even from the Aurora Chair and could also share memories with others by removing a metallic mask covering part of their face to reveal a glowing area of the skull. One variation of the species was the Stykera, who possessed the psychic ability to help others cross over into death. Baniks (Stykera, at least) used their physical bodies only as a link into this reality; their true existence was in the form of energy in another realm.
