| - Sebaceans are a fictional alien race in the Farscape universe.
- Sebaceans are a bipedal species that largely resemble humans to the untrained eye. John Crichton (the only Human thus far who has made it into the Uncharted Territories as far as it is known) is often mistaken for a Sebacean. Indeed, there are very few differences. One appears to be eyesight, which is seemingly an improvement on human eyesight. (2.04 "Crackers Don't Matter") However, one detracting factor is that Sebaceans seem to have an intense intolerance for heat. When exposed to extreme heat, the Sebacean falls into a state commonly known as heat delirium. Left untreated, a comatose state called the Living Death sets in, reducing the Sebacean to a catatonic-like state. ("Exodus From Genesis", "Promises") Once this Living Death takes over, Sebaceans will kill their own out of mercy. ("Exodus From Genesis", "Promises") The Sebacean spoken language, when heard by someone not injected with translator microbes, resembles the human language English spoken backwards. ("A Human Reaction")
- Their history begins roughly twenty seven thousand years ago, when a race called the Eidelons 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 traveled to the edge of the galaxy and discovered a primitive race (Terrans) and found them to be extremely adaptable. Having made their choice, the Eidelons made alterations to the DNA of those they took back with them and created the Sebaceans. 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. Despite most Sebaceans being Peacekeepers there is a breakaway faction that resides in the unexplored region of space (this faction presumably formed long after the disappearance of the Eidelons), that is neutral in terms of politics between the Scarrans and Peacekeepers, and prefers isolation from both.
