Keccaks

Keccaks is a term that appears in speculative fiction and fan-created universes as a designation for a fictional group or species. There is no single, canonical definition of what a Keccak is, and its characteristics vary widely from one work to another. In different stories, Keccaks may be portrayed as intelligent extraterrestrials with distinctive biology and cultures, or as a human or humanoid faction within a larger setting. Because the term is not standardized, writers and fan communities often develop their own lore and glossaries around it.

Etymology and origins of the term Keccaks are not documented in authoritative sources. It is generally treated as a coined name created by authors, with no broadly accepted linguistic root. Some speculative discussions among fans propose possible influences from personal names or from similarly sounding terms, but there is no consensus on its origin.

In published reference material, Keccaks are not recognized as a real-world term or entity. Mentions typically occur within fiction-specific wikis, role-playing forums, or other fan-driven spaces where the term is contextualized for a particular universe or author. When cited, sources usually specify the specific work or creator in which the Keccaks appear.
