While the Saresii believed they had lost all their colonies to the Dark Ones and this seemed to be true as until recently (in terms of Galactic History). Since the foundation of the Union and its steady expansion, three Civilizations that grew and developed out of former Saresii Colonies. Among them are the “Eeeeuuaxxutuu Eeempra Eeentriekat”. The Ee  sing. They sing all their conversations with intricate musical compositions both made up on the spot during a conversation and using old melodies. Words and phrases are elongated, shortened or phonetically changed to fit a melody and a songs rhythm. The name they had given themselves was to long, impractical and the Captain of the Union Vessel, making first contact, a Pertharian at first refused to sing and after he did anyway he was asked by the Ee to stop and never sing again. A Terran Officer aboard the USS Berkshire called them “Ebony Elfin”. They liked the mystical and sound quality of that new name very much and adopted it as the name for their culture. Most Union Members simply call them Ee. Their sphere of influence was only over their own solar system and it took many decades before an Archaeologist found old Saresii artefactss on the Ebony Elfinn Home world ( Globe of Eee) and detailed DNA comparison tests confirmed, the Ee were of Saresii origin. The Ee are very artistic and peaceful, with a culture centring on esoterica sciences. Increasingly young Ee's leave to travel the Union, take careers elsewhere and even join the Armed Forces.
