Pan Sarans

Pan Saran
The Saran Empire has been a Galactic Powerhouse for over 35,000 years. With mighty fleets, excellent and steady developing technology. In the beginning only male kings, called Pharaohs ruled with god like and absolute power over the Saran Empire, but when King Achumut IXI was on his death bed (almost 20,000 years ago) he ordered his sons to be executed and raised his daughter Nefri the first to rule. He declared that the Goddess Isis herself came to him and declared that Nefri was her Vessel and incarnation. The will of the Pharaoh was absolute and it was done even against much resistance, but unprecedented support of the High Priests who confirmed Nefi’s status as a demi god. Nefri ordered the execution of 15000 male officials, generals, Admirals and other men in office. The mysterious Seth Shadow Guard executed the order in one night. This event is called the Night of Blood, (and still remembered both on Saran and Pan Saran Planets) From then on only Queens ascended the Falcon Throne of Luxor Palace on Planet Theben. The Saran Empire grew and established many new colonies and the Saran Empire reached its widest spread and apex about 12,000 years ago. A revolt of men on a distant Colony ( Planet Horax) spread fast over more than 300 fringe Colonies and the fact that the more was so big and communication took month to reach the throne world, (Saran technology, while quite advanced even then had not developed any faster than light communication and relied on couriers.) When the Saran Queen reacted and sent ships, the Colonies were well organized and had ships of their own. The Saran Civil war had started. The rebellion grew and declared the founding of a Republic and called themselves Pan Saran. (Pan meaning Man in the Saran language). The war was fought with ferocious brutality during some periods and ebbed to little skirmishes during other times. Planets were conquered and lost. Neither side made any measurable progress. The Pan Sarans rejected everything of their mother civilization. Anything Saran from food, to clothing, religion and even language was deemed offensive and the Pan Saran society desperately looked for an identity of their own. Earth was known to Saran for a long time, when a Pan Saran Captain and his crew rediscovered Earth at around 50 BC (Earth time) they observed a n Earth Civilization that had conquered Ancient Egypt ( which was very similar to Saran Culture due to earlier contacts). The Pan Sarans saw this as an omen and closely observed the Romans with their well-organized military and civilization. A covered observation expedition of the Pan Saran Republic landed on Earth and recorded every aspect of Roman civilization. It was then copied and adapted to Pan Saran technology and Culture. The Pan Sarans adopted Latin as their official language, raised Statues to worship Saturn and Jupiter. Roman togas and fashion became the dress of Officials. Like the Roman Empire on Earth, the Pan Saran Republic experienced the raise of Emperors and has Emperors to this day. However the Pan Saran Emperor is elected and there are no Dynasties. A Pan Saran Emperor is in office for ten years. When elected the Emperor has almost absolute power, but no say in domestic issues. The Colony world Horax was renamed Spqr. The Pan Sarans expanded their Empire as well and were an even match to the Sarans and the War became a way of life for thousands of years. A secret group called the Friends of Earth with members of both civilizations (Saran and Pan Saran) with the goal of reuniting Saran and Pan Saran under the lead of their “lost” Colony Earth, worked secretly behind the scenes to replace key decision makers in both empires. It was them who sent the Saran Delegation to Earth to warn Earthers of the Xunx and giving Earth Faster than Light Technology. The Civil war between Saran and pan saran officially ended with the founding of the United Stars of the Galaxy and the Saran Queen declared Pan Saran to be independent and autonomous but still Saran in nature and the Pan Saran Emperor declared Saran to be the mother civilization and the recognized the queen as “symbolic leader “of all Pan Sarans. Today the Civil war is distant history and both Civilizations are separate by name only. Saran and Pan Saran freely intermingle, settle, move and live on each other’s worlds and planets and all are first and foremost Union Citizens and Saran or Pan Saran second. Pan Sarans celebrate their heritage in the Military by wearing simulated brass or leather chest plates mimicking old Roman armor. There are 1300 Planets and 320 Solar Systems that are Pan Saran, but the distinction is losing its meaning as they are now simply Union Worlds. The last Pan Saran Census was made in 3400 after that the Empire declared it is unnecessary to tally Pan Sarans separately from Union Citizens, so exact numbers as how many Pan Sarans there are do not exist. Pan Saran has the same Tech Level as most of the Union (TL8 approaching TL9). The upholstery of the Command chair of each Union ship contained a strip of purple leather made on Spor the main world of the Pan Saran Empire and it contained the golden letters S.P.Q.R which stood for Senatus Popolusque Romanus meaning that every Union ship operates under the full support of every Pan Saran citizen and by the will of its senate. Biologically Pan Sarans are human with a DNA difference to Terran Humans of less than 0.5%.
