The Tikar were among the many races to send representatives to Babylon 5. In March 2257 a Tikar vessel made first contact with the Earth Alliance Starship Agamemnon, under the command of Captain John Sheridan, near the Saint Andre Nebula. In March 2259 a Tikar delegation lead by Latir Corvo visited Babylon 5 for a diplomatic conference. Tikar diplomatic protocol requires that a conference room be laid out with six yarwood chairs placed precisely one meter apart in a star pattern with the hee-lok on the center chair.
