Suliban script.
The Suliban are a nomadic humanoid species from Sector 3641 whose homeworld became uninhabitable in the 1850s.
Many Suliban settled in the Tandar Sector, but when the Suliban Cabal began warring on the Tandarans in 2144, they were rounded up and placed in detainment camps. (ENT: "Detained")
Suliban are no more evolved than Humans, and normally possess three bronchial tubes. Vulcan evaluation concluded they were nonthreatening. Doctor Phlox examined a pair of Suliban (a husband and wife) a few years before his assignment to Enterprise. He considered them very cordial. (ENT: "Broken Bow")
Their first contact with humanity came in April 2151, when two Suliban pursued Klaang the Klingon to Earth. Though these Suliban perished, several more boarded the starship Enterprise while it was transporting Klaang to Qo'noS and succeeded in kidnapping him. One of the Suliban was killed by Enterprise security forces, and examination revealed it had been genetically enhanced. Further investigation showed this Suliban belonged to the Suliban Cabal, which was working for a benefactor from the future in exchange for these enhancements. (ENT: "Broken Bow")
- The Suliban seem to have settled down by the 23rd and 24th centuries as we've never heard of them or seen them.
