Species overview
Sebaceans are a genetically modified group of humans native to the far side of the Milky Way Galaxy. The best known of this race are the militaristic faction called Peacekeepers.The Sebacean Race Encompasses Many different planets and cultures, Though not all Sebaceans are peacekeepers, the most widely traveled members of the race are, so the Peacekeeper reputation is usually applied to the entire race, humans are also affected by the reputation of their offshoot brothers unfortunately, some Palmans are spared this if they possess a hair or eye color beyond the Sebacean spectrum. One major element that effected the species after leaving Earth was that the new world the Sebaceans settled on was a cooler class M world plagued with the occasional intense heat storm -- Deadly phenomena that would exterminate all life in their wake. Those Sebaceans who survived this phenomena eventually evolved an enhanced sensitivity that allowed them to detect a heat storm building, giving them more time to flee the area or seek shelter.Species overview
History
Their history begins roughly twenty seven thousand years ago, when a race called the Eidolons were trying to bring peace and order to the universe. However they were often met with aggression and violence but being peaceful they were unable to defend themselves. So they travelled to the edge of the galaxy and discovered a Palman colony on Earth and found them to be extremely adaptable. This race's unusual genetic configuration hinted at a distant origin, the entire colony world had genetic material that did not correspond with the rest of the life in the general starcluster. Having made their choice, the Eidolons made alterations to the DNA of those they took back with them and created the Sebaceans, Eidolons never did figure out the origin of their new client species. From their actions alongside the Eidelons, they earned the name Peacekeepers. Several thousand years ago, the Eidelons disappeared and soon, without the guidance of the Eidelons, the Peacekeepers took to keeping the peace the only way they knew how - at the muzzle of a weapon. Though most species consider Peacekeepers without conscience. Sebaceans who are not peacekeepers have more traditional ideals and philosophies. As a people Sebaceans are confident, curious, outgoing, independent and proud. they also have Numerous offshoot races caused from their expansionism, some are cold and cruel while others demonstrate compassion and tolerance.Dezorians and Sebaceans usually bond well together due to their shared health issues regarding temperature and they will always stop to help one another regarding this shared problem.History
Physiology
Though externally identical to humans, Sebaceans differ from them in various ways: for instance, above a certain temperature (40 or 55°C), they have an extreme intolerance for heat that sends them into a permanently vegetative state. While humans cannot stand as much cold as Sebaceans can, alternatively, humans can withstand much more heat than SebaceansSebaceans are capable of interbreeding with other races such as Luxans and Scarrans. However, the practice is normally frowned upon due to a doctrine of racial purity, especially among the Peacekeepers. Few Hybrids ever make it to adulthood due to death at Peacekeeper hands or conflicting aspects of their dual parentage. Despite regular checks, it is noted by the Peacekeepers that the number of Hybrids being born is on the increase. Another feature is the ability to "pause" pregnancy for up to seven years (only Command Carrier-born Peacekeeper females are able to do this)Physiology
