Suliban Race?

Cryptic,
There was mention of the Suliban race being added to the Romulan Republic, back in May 2013. Is this still a possibility? I hope so, as I would love to have several.

Is it possible you're thinking of doffs? Suliban doffs were added a while back. If you buy or are invited onto the bridge of a suliban cell ship you can start a 5 day suliban doff recruitment assignment.
UMM...why? Only those Suliban who worked for "Future Guy" had any kind of genetic enhancements.
Only those who were part of the "Cabal" had those enhancements.

While I could see the Cabal Suliban become an enemy NPC (with an appropriate kill accolade), I don't see those "Super Suliban" being player characters.
by the Post DS9 era the Cabal was dead, their genetic legacy dormant. So any Suliban in the game would be little more then odd looking humans.
"Nope, just my away team" the trill replies before ordering a round for the bar.
I don't blame you. It sucked compared to the previous series. Michael Okuda disgraced himself when he signed off on most of what happened in that series. It flaunted canon so regularly that many of the old guard who grew up on TOS and TNG were turn off.
It is always easier to make a sequel rather than a prequel; with a sequel you don't have to worry about contradicting what is suppose to happen next.
But then again look at the viewing ratings for pilot vs ep2 that said all that needed to be said. They just didnt listen
you totally missed what he meant. he said sucked because it was a prequel that didn't follow predetermined Canon from the other series. There's a reason it ended the way it did, so CBS could call it all holodeck fiction and save Canon.
Precisely! Though TOS is hockey, it is still worth watching for the story. The biggest strength that Star Trek was able to call on was its internal consistency, which people know as canon.
Michael Okuda was the "historian" specifically tasked by Gene Rodenberry to compile and maintain. By signing off on Enterprise, he abandoned his duty and disgraced himself. It is now up to someone else to take up the mantle; one who like Gene would be willing to tell CBS to go eff itself when they wanted to contradict canon.
Not that it was all that necessary anyways, TOS contradicted itself rather often. It got worse from there.
But anyways, the concept of the Suliban race is very cool, and I would love to be able to play as them in STO.

They could have done so much with the concept but no, they made a ship that was an obvious knock off of the Akira, they re-invented the Vulcans into a bunch of paranoid Aholes and the Temporal Cold war, whoever thought that up should have been smothered at birth.
I agree, except for the smothering at birth part. My response would have been to laugh them out of the office. "Temporal Cold War" and holodeck novel were both cheap and blatant cop-outs that everyone could easily see through.
Not nearly as bad as ENT. Hell, ENT was worse than TOS! As for all the bashing of TOS, TNG did a darn good job of referencing TOS, maintaining the internal consistency and cleaning up the contradictions that cropped up. And they did it with much more finesse than the writers since have ever tried.
Back to the point. "Normal" Suliban would be a great addition and a "Cabal" enemy Suliban allied with the Tal Shiar and Elatchi would be neat too. MAKE IT SO!
But I digress....
Suliban were awesome. Thus we need them playable in STO. :P

I think you are mistaken here. From what we have seen outside of Spock they fit this description elsewhere as well.
