The Suliban Cabal was an interstellar terrorist organization composed of [[Suliban]] that was active in the 22nd century. They placed great emphasis on genetic modifications, working to advance the interests of a mysterious benefactor from the 28th century as part of the Temporal Cold War. Silik was a leader in the Cabal; he was assisted by Raan. 

==Background==

The Cabal received its support from a mysterious humanoid from the 28th century. Common modifications to members of the Cabal included the addition of two bronchial tubes, altering the alveoli clusters to process multiple atmospheres, the installation of subcutaneous pigment sacs, certain telepathic abilities including measuring trust, and biomimetic clothing. In exchange for their modifications, the Cabal carried out tasks for its master from the future, who was involved in a Temporal Cold War. The faction backing the Cabal was incapable of physically manifesting in the past; they could only appear as silhouettes. (ENT: "Broken Bow", "Cold Front")

The Cabal's military forces included ships such as the cell ship and the stealth-cruiser, as well as installations like the helixes. (ENT: "Broken Bow", "Shockwave")

Not all Suliban belonged to the Cabal, such as those in Tandaran detainment camps. Some members, such as Sarin, grew disgusted with what the Cabal had done and left. (ENT: "Broken Bow", "Detained")
==History==

In 2144, the Cabal began attacking the Tandarans. The war lasted until the 2150s. In 2151, the Cabal began staging attacks within the [[Klingon Empire]], making it appear as if one faction was attacking another, leading to a civil war. This plan was foiled by actions of Sarin, Klaang, and Jonathan Archer. (ENT: "Broken Bow", "Detained")

In March 2152, the Cabal sent a stealth-cruiser to place a plasma emitter on the hull of one of Enterprise's shuttlepods, resulting in the destruction of a Paraagan mining colony. When Enterprise personnel discovered this by raiding the stealth-cruiser, the Suliban retaliated and dispatched thirty cell ships to kidnap Captain Archer. They then occupied Enterprise, although Archer had disappeared off the starship. Later, the crew of Enterprise were successful in reobtaining their starship.
