Queen Berenib the 2nd

Queen Berenib the 2nd  – Saran Queen from 2130 OTT to 2197 OTT

Born 2061 OTT – Died 2197 OTT, Thebes

Eldest Daughter of Queen the MerNeith the 1st

She attained the throne at the age of 69, when her mother was fatally poisoned.

The Saran Queen during the early years after Terra's Ascent, she was greatly loved by her people. She became involved with the Benevolent Friends of Terra sometime in her early 20's and used her influence to advance the Friend's agenda. After she gained the throne, her influence was a strong factor in winding down the Pan Saran/Saran Civil War. She also worked toward establishing The United Stars of the Galaxy.

Because of this agenda, a Temple revolt on Thebes was started by an old Osiris priestess who claimed Queen Berenib was not of divine origin, but a PanSaran plant and against the Gods will. She declares herself Queen and managed to rally about 1000 deeply religious Sarans behind her. Her revolt did not gain any traction among the general public. As she called for the Assassination of the Queen, she and a dozen of her staff are arrested. During the the court proceedings, the Judges decided to let the priestess and her followers go free, but they had to make their way through the gathered crowds before the courthouse...not one of them made it. They were killed by the angry mob. Seth's Shadows found out too late that the Priestess had hired an Assassin. The queen was killed by the Antilife mist of a Seth's Fist during her prayers at the Temple. These ancient weapons of a highly advanced society pointed to a killer among the Seth's Shadow.

As Queen Berenib had not selected a Queen Pleaser and had no offspring on her own, Princess Cleotrix was offered the throne. She refused the throne. So the throne was offered to Anubia XXI, who accepted.
