The Sunlanders were a race created by the Gene Lords to tolerate the high heat and low water supplies that were killing off such annoying numbers of workers in the desert power plants. After their emancipation, they and the normal humans greeted each other with all the charity and tolerance that one might expect of humanity, and things have been going along swimmingly ever since.

The Sunlander equivalent to Greenie is cangrejo rojo, red crab, in reference to the inexplicable human tendency to keel over and die on any nice warm day.
