Thomas Eccer

The first chief-scientist of The Ikaanos Colony.

Thomas Eccer boarded the USS Seneca in 2229 tasked with documenting any signs of intelligent extraterrestrial life on Raana. Once the second wave of settlers discovered the rich first-wave culture that had emerged on the planet, unbeknown to scientists of Earth, Mr. Eccer became obsessed with first-waver lifestyle, finally abandoning IC for a remote (and second wave-hostile) group of forest dwellers in 2240.

The modern historians of Whitehaven hold Thomas Eccer's works in high regard. His dismissal of intelligent life on Raana ("neither now, recently, or through the oceans of time") has also nurtured the scientific method of attributing any odd archeological findings to the First Wave culture.
