History
At some point thousands of years ago, they traveled to the planet Onyius II in the Deneb sector where they constructed a genetic bank as part of a test for races in the future. Before Humans had left the Cro-Magnon stage of development on Earth, the Brassica had created two races on Onyius II called the Alphans and the Omegans both of whom appeared as demons and angels respectively. This was part of a test that was used to determine the intelligence and capacity to reason of a race that arrived on Onyius II. After this chain of events, they had avoided contact with every race in the universe.

In the 2260's, the Federation starship USS Enterprise arrived on Onyius II after recieving a powerful signal from the planet which was generated as part of the Brassica's test. When Captain James T. Kirk along with his crew discovered they planet and the situation between the dying Alpha and Omegans, he resolved their conflict by merging them together to form the Gamman race. This led to the projection of Cissaca who explained to Kirk about the test and that the Brassica were impressed with their actions.
