Sulibans

The Suliban were a nomadic humanoid species whose homeworld became uninhabitable in the 1850s. A Suliban sect, the Suliban Cabal, is an interstellar terrorist organization belonging to the Temporal Cold War (time travels), and their enemies are humans and teremedosians of XXVIII century.

The Suliban Cabal has the role of antagonists in the last season of Planetes 3rd and few episodes of SerieStar4 in the Expanded Universe of Planetes. As a representative of a faction in the Temporal Cold War, this individual used the Cabal as his foot soldiers in his attempts to alter history towards his own ends, and sulibans obtain genetic improvement.

Origins
The sulibans and teremedosians have a common origin in a remote planet in the Andromeda Galaxy: two remaining sisters of a extinct civilization founded the species. The older sister and vindictive called Sulny founded the Suliban species, and more peaceful called Melny founded the Teremedosian species. Sulny died, and Melny was alone. The ship FEF 08 found Melny in her planet, and captain Groka decides to stay with her, and dies on the planet.

Physiology
As a humanoid species they are on a developmental stage that is quite similar to humans. Their only distinguishing feature were their three bronchial tubes. However, a terrorist group of Suliban known as the Cabal wanted to increase their rate of evolution and so experimented in genetically engineering themselves, by acting as tools for a mysterious agent from the future, as a group involved in the Temporal Cold War.
