Suliban are a starfaring race in the fictional Star Trek universe. They are primarily known through the activities of a sect known as the Cabal.
Humanoid in appearance, Suliban are hairless and have pale yellow skin covered with small bumps, making Suliban resemble an osage-orange. Suliban are looked down upon and feared because of the actions of the Cabal.
The only Suliban technology depicted to date has been employed by the Cabal. How much of it originated as a product of the Temporal Cold War is unrevealed.
[edit] History
The Suliban were prevented from existing millions of years ago by Vosk, instigator of the Temporal Cold War. The damage to the timeline was undone by Silik and Daniels.
Some time in the 1800s, the Suliban homeworld was destroyed and its survivors spread throughout space, many settling on Tandaran colonies.
In the 2150s, the Cabal was prominent, while 'ordinary' Suliban were nomads. The Cabal received orders - and, occasionally, advanced technology and genetic engineering - from a mysterious humanoid figure who communicated to them from centuries in the future. This "Future Guy" had an agenda which he never revealed to anyone, not even Silik. Ordinary Suliban attempt to distance themselves from the Cabal whenever possible, as the Cabal's actions caused all Suliban to be feared and persecuted (and the Cabal was fond of conscripting normal Suliban into its ranks without consent); only a small fraction of the Suliban population were actually members of the Cabal.
