Spiral ring was the name of a game played by children, originated on the Delta Quadrant Talaxian homeworld, the planet Talax. Spiral ring was part of treasured childhood memories of the Talaxian traveler Neelix. Neelix recalled with great detail playing the game with his sisters while his pet udox, Pixie, romped through their yard, father Eximar reclining listening to oliara bird-calls and mother Axa preparing lunch.
