Thubanians



Thubanians is the designation for the original species of from Thuban 9. They can talk and have been known to be very cute animals. Their collars are able to glow, as shown in "That Darn Katz!", when the Thubanians were near to stealing the Earthican magnetic field. They invaded Earth in July of 3010.

Their planet was once a place where life was ideal. A sun provided plenty of warm, cozy light. The Chicken-Salmon roamed free. Yet, disaster loomed. The planet's rotation was gradually slowing. At first, it seemed beneficial. But then, it got too hot, and too cold. The top Thubanian scientists went to work. At last, they located a planet with the necessary orientation and magnetic field, Earth. The cats later moved to the "blue-blue shiny ball", as they call it. In, they were viewed as gods, and largely contributed to the Earthican culture. They constructed the, which served to beam Earth's rotational energy to Thuban.

After Amy presented her thesis at Mars University in 3010, the Thubanian leader followed her to the Planet Express headquarters. He later summoned his friends, who followed him as well. The leader began infecting Leela with cutie pie demonstrations, and soon every member of the company was under the controle of those darn cats.

The Thubanians convinced the crew to build something sinister, actually the machine from Amy's thesis. After "sending" the electric current generated by the machine to Thuban 9, they left New New York. However, as the employees managed to "bring it back", their planet is now half frozen, half scorched. Once back in, the most importante members of the species had found a safe place to hide from their homeworld's unbearable living conditions.
