A warrior tribe from "the land of the mega sun and the endless sands." They have a bony ridge on their foreheads reminiscent of that of Klingons in Star Trek. They appear in the episodes The Man with Nine Lives (TOS) and Baltar's Escape (TOS). Named characters include Taba, Maga and Bora. They assert at some point that they are in fact human and not an alien race (saying something like "are we not human?"), though it is not clear what relation their group or planet had to the Twelve Colonies. Mature nomen wear beards and carry weapons called laser bolas.

When first encountered in The Man with Nine Lives (TOS) they are on a blood hunt for Chameleon.
