QWhat species is Scorpius?
AThe only Scarren/Sebacean hybrid.In "We're So Screwed Part I: Fetal Attraction" in Season 4, you learn that, in fact, Scorpius might not the be the only hybrid to survive. On the Scarran Boarder Station he comes in contact with a Charrid and a Scarran, and neither of them recognize him. If Scorpius were the only Scarran/Sebacean hybrid to survive, he would be quite noticable, especially since he's quite high up in Peacekeeper command. More importantly, the Charrid calls him "a half-breed," which sugests there are others. Now, it is possible the Charrid was referring to Scarran hybrids with other species besides Sebacean, but I think it's quite obvious just which species make up Scorpius' background. Of course, all of this is interpretation and not hard fact. - Edit by Heather
QWhat does Scorpius have in common with the Scarrens?
AInstead of the heat/truth probe he simply sees when people are lying. He also has increased strength and the hot/cold dilemma.
QWhat race are Aeryn Sun and Crais? Are they human?
ANo they are not human, although they look identical. They are a species which are known as Sebaceans, and are both Peacekeepers,the largest Sebacean polity in the universe. Throughout the series the words "Peacekeeper" and "Sebacean" are often used indiscriminately but the main characters do meet a number of Sebaceans who are not Peacekeepers. While Sebaceans and Humans are visually indistinguishable from each other Sebaceans, particularly Peacekeeper Sebaceans, do have some notable differences.The first major difference between humans and Sebacians is revealed in Season 1 Episode 2 "Exodus from Genesis", namely that Sebacians are cold blooded. Another of these differences, which plays a crucial role in the series, is that Peacekeeper women have some limited control over their reproductive abilities. Because of their combat duties Peacekeeper women have been genetically engineered so that they can prevent a fertilized egg from beginning to gestate. It is generally implied throughout the series that Sebaceans are physically superior to humans being tougher, longer lived, and stronger. The last is portrayed rather inconsistently. Often Aeryn Sun is portrayed as at least as strong as Crichton due to her status as a Peacekeeper. However Crichton seems to have no trouble fighting male Peacekeepers, who would presumably be at least as strong as their women.In the Peacekeeper Wars miniseries, it is revealed that thousands of years ago, the original Sebaceans were brought to what is now Peacekeeper Space from a distant and unexplored part of the universe. The idea was to introduce a race no one had ever encountered before to become Peacekeepers--a race with no pre-existing loyalties to bring their neutrality into question. The overwhelming implication is that these original Sebaceans were brought from Earth.
