Have we ever seen an ‘Ikshar’ in person? I don’t think we ever see that ship design again.

I don't think so. From the role-playing books, they are physically something like giant starfish. Certainly nowhere near the humanoid stereotype that B5 had to run with due to budget constraint. I think you only even hear them refered to once more, anyway, in series 5 (Veiw from the Gallery; I think they've been attacked by the fleet that then attacks the station). Oh, and the RPG calls them Ipshar.
