| The '''Sebaceans''' are a fictional ] race from the '']'' universe. | |||
| They are the core species of the ] — a militaristic ] organization who will enforce the law of the lands they inhabit for a price. There are, however, non-military Sebacean settlements on various planets. | |||
| ==Origins== | |||
| In the '']'' miniseries, it is implied that the Sebaceans were originally humans, taken from ] tens of thousands of years ago. At the dawn of the ] period of usefulness, they developed need of a guard for their effort toward peace. The Eidelons took great care to choose a species no one had met before. They found a primitive race, barely clothed, far removed on the ]'s outer spiral (likely a reference to the location of Earth). Having brought some of them back to their homeworld of Arnessk, their ] was accelerated with "]", until they became the Eidelons' trusted acolytes. | |||
| With the disappearance of the Eidelons from the galaxy 12,000 cycles before the ''Farscape'' setting, the Peacekeepers attempted to carry on. However, lacking the Eidelon's mediation abilities, they kept the peace the only way they could - at the muzzle of a ]. | |||
| ==Physiology== | |||
| Although they have various internal differences, Sebaceans are so physically similar to ]s as to be outwardly indistinguishable from them. They also have the abiity to breed with humans, due to the fact that the race appears to have been engineered from them. They have a considerably longer ] than humans. Some Sebacean ] are sharper than those of humans, however, human smell and taste has been seen to detect rotten food that Sebaceans may not notice. This is counterbalanced by an extreme sensitivity to heat as Sebaceans lack the ] that regulates their body temperature under these conditions. They may suffer heat ] if exposed to extreme temperatures for a prolonged time. If left untreated, heat delirium can lead to the "living death" — a state in which they have lost most of their higher brain functions and that most Sebaceans consider worse than death and for which they routinely euthanize patients. | |||
| ===Paraphoral nerve=== | |||
| The '''paraphoral nerve''' is an internal organ of the Sebaceans used to eliminate toxins from the body. In this sense it may be analogous to the human ], or possibly the ]. If it is damaged, death will occur within approximately 3 days (50 to 60 arns in Farscape terminology). The only known treatment for a damaged paraphoral nerve is either a transplantation of a healthy ] from a compatible donor or a synthesized sample injected into the patient. | |||
