Sons of Rome

Sons of Rome

Only recently and after the final and complete defeat of the Kermac, more effort was put in the expolration of the "other side of the M-0 Galaxy .Much of the Coreward and pretty much the entire Downward sector is still completeley unexplored space.

The Union knows about the existence of some societies in these regions and is analyzing the Golden Archives, but with the activation of the Ancient Gate network , the own back yard is again somewhat neclected.

In 5062 a Union HALD explorer made contact with a previously unknown Pan Saran enclave.

It was discovered that a group of Pan Sarans did not want to fight the Sarans and left with a convoy of ships. This convoy left long before the Union was founded.

These Pan Sarans had taken the elements of the Ancient Romans of Earth along,(See Roman Pan Saran Connection ) and founded their own Empire.

These Pan Sarans call themselves the Sons of Rome and have created their own empire spreading over 55 star systems. They are ruled by god like Emperors and have achieved TL 7 on their own.

They practice slavery and have exterminated any non human life forms that were not useful as slaves.

The Sons of Rome expressed no desire to join the Union and are unwilling to cease the practice of slavery.

There are voices in the Assembly to consider them "lost members" of the Pan Saran society and simply declare them members, arrest the Emperor and free the slaves.

However that would be against Union Law unless a vote changes it.

Since none of the Slaves are Union Citizens and the Sons of  Rome are far, there is no great desire to change fundamental Union laws of non interference. Especially as there is no state of war.
