Like the Sarans, the Pan Sarans are humanoids and part of the Human Mystery. Biologically they are identical to Sarans and there is a five percent genetic code difference to Terran Humans that is constantly shrinking to inter species marriages and DNA adjustments.

About 8500 years ago 74 colonies of the Saran Empire revolted against the Saran matriarchate society system that resulted in a civil war that tore the Saran Empire more or less in half. Of the 12,500 known Saran Colonies 5,200 joined the rebel cause and eventually became the Pan Sarans.

Earth was well known to the Sarans and they believed Earth was a forgotten Saran colony. When the Pan Saran separated from the Saran Empire they despised every cultural expression of their mother civilization and looked for their own cultural identity.

A Pan Saran expedition visited Earth around 50 B.C. and observed the Roman Empire. That Earth civilization had triumphed over the Ancient Egyptians and despite their pre industrial technology were highly organized and culturally developed.

The Pan Sarans saw this as an omen and closely and secretly observed the Roman Empire and copied every aspect of this Earth culture and made it their own. While the Roman Empire on Earth collapsed the Pan Saran Empire flourished and developed. While the Sarans and the Pan Sarans were technically at war for the entire time until the formation of the United Stars, the war had only a relative short, hot phase and was more or less a life style with constant border incidents rather than an all out war.

However this constant state of war, promoted technological development in space ship and space weapon technology. The Pan Sarans were among the first of the current Upward Civilizations to utilize faster than light Forced Energy cannons that enabled the Pan Sarans to fight ship to ship.

These factors and the imperialistic mindset of the Pan Sarans helped them to create a 34,000 star system empire that is more than equal to its mother civilization.

The political system is based on the roman Senate. The senate elects an Emperor who has near absolute powers but the title and the position is not hereditary.
