A somewhat primitive species that is no more evolved than humans, from sector
3641. They were no
threat until around 2151 when
they become involved with a mysterious figure from the future which
has given them genetic manipulation technology in
exchange for their service in a temporal cold war.
They
are obsessed with genetic enhancement. Their DNA is still recognizable as
Suliban but their
genome has been changed enough to
support an altered anatomy. Some of their enhancements include -
Compound Retinas, subcutaneous pigment sacks, 5 lobed
lungs (their lungs normally have 3) with
aveoli clusters
designed to process different atmospheres.
"Broken Bow" [ENT]
Suliban genetic enhancements can be
removed; in particular, enhanced vision. (Silik undergoes surgery
in a fuzzy-time room while a fuzzy-figure watches, as
punishment for not succeeding with the Klingon
civil war
gambit.); The Suliban can evade most sensors. They can turn invisible like a
JemHadar.
"Cold Front" [ENT]
History:
1851
- The Suliban homeworld became uninhabitable 300 years ago; Most Suliban are now
nomadic.
"Detained" [ENT]
2143 - The Cabal began its
attacks on Tandarans about 8 years earlier. The "Tandarans" immediately
suspected all Suliban living in
their territory. In the early days of the war, 14 innocents were killed
in one day. Soon, thousands
were rounded up and placed in Detention Centers spread across the
worlds of the "Tandar Sector".
"Detained" [ENT]
2151 - 2 Suliban soldiers crash
in Broken Bow, Oklahoma in pursuit of a Klingon.
Enterprise detours to "Rigel
Ten", and meets with rebel leader, Sarin.
"Broken Bow" [ENT]
Silik
infiltrated Enterprise, disguised as a "Borothan pilgrim".

Ships:
Cell-ships - must have
two docking ports, since three of them attach in a line to Ent's starboard port,
and
long lines of them trail from the Helix. The
helical design of their bases suggests that they may have three.

Individuals of Note:
Danik (Dennis Christopher) - A prisoner at Dentention
Complex 26. His grandfather had settled
on Tandara
Prime. Danik was born there in the same town as Major Klev, the Tandaran
guard at
the Complex. He even played with Klev's
brother. Danik had been director of research at an
engineering institute in "Querella Province", but when
the Suliban Cabal started staging attacks, he
was
relocated to the detention complex. His daughter remained with him, but
his wife was separated
from him during the
relocation. Her transfer requests to his complex were also constantly
denied.
When Captain Archer and Ensign Mayweather were
held in the Detention Center, he conspired
with them to
help liberate the camp.
"Detained" [ENT]
Narra (Jessica D. Stone) - Daughter of Danik
who was also a prisoner at Detention Complex 26.
On
Tandar Prime other children taunted her with racist nursery rhymes about the
Suliban.
"Detained" [ENT]
Sajen - Sajen is keeping a journal.
Sarin (Melinda
Clarke)- A Suliban female who left the Cabal because she felt the price of
evolution was too high. She was the head of a Suliban
resistance cell. She sent
a message via Klaang to
the Klingon High Council revealing a Suliban
plot to
cause a civil war within the Empire. She has the ability to
measure trust when in close contact with people.
She kissed Archer
to see if he could be trusted.
After assuring herself he could be, she
then gave him
information about the Suliban's involvement in a
temporal
cold war. Unfortunately, she was killed by the Suliban agents in a
firefight at the trade
complex at Rigel ten, but managed
to help the Enterprise crew to escape.
"Broken Bow" [ENT], "Detained" [ENT]
Silik (John Fleck) - One
of the leaders of the Suliban, a deadly species obsessed with genetic
enhancement.
