The Anubians were the former slaves of the Huducts, after they were liberated by K9 Mark I they went on to conquer other species.

Biology

The Anubians had golden skin, jackal-like heads with large, wing-like ears and glowing red eyes.

Technology

After K9 liberated the Anubians they reverse engineered the mind-controlling Torcs worn on the head originally used by the Huducts to control the Anubians. They used Pyramid-like spacecrafts with cloaking devices to expand their empire. The Anubians were able to shoot energy blasts out of their palms. They were able to control their ships through the use of Ankhs on their chest.

History

Thousands of years before 2050, the Anubians were forced to serve under their overlord masters, the Huducts for millennia. K9 then travelled to Anubis and freed the Anubians. He then left the Anubians and the Huducts to reconcile in peace, however this didn't last and the Anubians enslaved the Huducts just as they were the other way round and the Huducts wore the Torcs on their necks. The Anubians then went on to control a vast empire, using the Huduct headbands to control conquered species. The Anubians sometimes fooled their potential slaves with the Olive Branch of peace. During their history of conquest the Anubians attacked the Sea Devils, Alpha Centaurans, Mandrels, Aeolians and Jixen. (K9TV: Curse of Anubis)

In 2050, the Anubians turned their attention towards Earth. Two Anubians, Nehetka and Geb travelled in a starship to Earth. This caught the attention of The Department, Inspector Drake ordered the ship to be destroyed using orbital missiles but before he could do so the ship dissapeared, apparently burned up in the atmosphere. The ship actually cloaked and landed somewhere in London where K9 Mark 2, Starkey and Jorjie Turner were stargazing, K9 decided to investigate the ship. The two Anubians transported down near them and were met by two CCPCs who advanced on them, however the Anubians knocked them out with their energy attack. The Anubians then advanced on Starkey and Jorjie, when K9 flew in their defense the Anubians were shocked at his presence and bowed and chanted to him. They then arrived at the Gryffen House, they introduced themselves to K9. They then showed them their history book, and told them of their subjugation by the Huduct and their liberation by K9. The Anubians grew tired of Darius Pike's insults of the old K9 and Alistair Gryffen told him to leave. They then refused to show the rest of the book after K9s's departure. As Gryffen admired their cloaking device they told him they were informed of K9's enemies, when Gryffen argued only some were bad, they insisted the Department were enemies and that they would trouble him no more. Nehetka suggested that redecorating the house Anubian style would help K9 remember. The Anubians were outraged at Darius' Dog whistle and took it from him, Starkey and Jorjie. When Nehetka asked Gryffen what they should do with him, he strangely ordered them to banish him from the house. As Starkey and Jorjie discussed the matter of K9, they went to talk to him. He told them he was close to finding his lost enemies and the London must be freed from the control of the Department. They said they weren't going to war as there would be no contest, when Starkey and Jorjie argued what the Anubians were doing is wrong all K9 seemed to care about is finding his memories. Starkey and Jorjie managed to sneak in the house at night and read the Anubian book, they then the Anubian's history of conquest. They tried to show this to K9 but were stopped and mindcontroled by the Anubians. Darius came back and tried to convince K9 that Gryffen,Jorjie and Starkey were replaced by "Pod people" or Robots. K9 scanned them and as they were only hypnotised, they registered as Human, The Anubians then sent Darius away. Darius was sent back to Mariah, Geb then tried to attack him but was knocked out by Mariah's door, Darius then took the Ankh off his chest. Later, June Turner arrived at the house and was shocked at the look of the house and its residents, she scanned the area and detected an alien presence and called for backup. Nehetka then interferred with the transmission and announced that the Liberation of Earth has begun. He started to materialise the hypnotic headbands across all Department facilities, swiftly taking control of all Department personnel. As he hypnotised June, K9 realised what the Anubians were doing was wrong and told him to stop, Nehetka refused to leave the Humans half-defeated. K9 then found that the headbands were the same as the ones used by the Huducts to control the Anubians. When K9 said he thought the Huducts and the Anubians would reconcile in peace, Nehetka told him it didn't last. K9 told Nehetka hes supposed to better than this and decided to take action. Nehetka then attacked K9 and deactivated him. The Anubian starship then decloaked and Darius contacted Nehetka and revealed he managed to take control of the ship using the Ankh. He then warned him to stop or he'd crash the ship on the house. When Jorjie offered Nehetka a grape and was seen by Darius, Nehetka determined he was bluffing. Darius then replied he was stalling, K9 then reactivated and shot Nehetka. Later on, Nehetka and Geb were arrested by CCPCs. (K9TV: Curse of Anubis)

Inspector Thorne then incorperated DNA from the two Anubians into Project: Trojan, a supersoldier created from the DNA of every species encountered by the Department for the Korven invasion of Earth. (K9TV: Eclipse of the Korven)

Trivia

• The Anubians are obviously based on the Egyptian God Anubis. They also resemble the Osirians, who in turn resembled the traditional depictions of Set.
• Their names are inspired by Egyptian Deities (Geb being the father of Set for example).
