Lukythians

Lukythians are an alien species seen in the Farscape episode "Promises." They have wide-set eyes and mechanical implants in their heads.
The leader of the Lukythians is called the Prime Lukythian, who has a Chief Protector (e.g. Ullom). Lukythians are infamous for their heinous treatment of other species. The Illustrated Season 4 Companion makes note of their "legendary massacre in the Trala System." Aeryn Sun was even hired to invade their home world and assassinate the Prime Lukythian for their actions.
Lukythians are also known for their use of holographic technology. They can make their small ships (called "chameleon ships") appear as whatever they want it to be. These ships typically have a small number of personnel on board, but if necessary, Lukythians can create projections of themselves to populate the ship.
Their other technology includes a device called a leech hypo,Farscape: The Illustrated Season 4 Companion, p. 158 a hypodermic needle incorporated within a living, slug-like creature. The Lukythians utilize a leech hypo to give Aeryn the Heat Delirium antidote.
