Saresii



The Saresii are a Union Member Civilization. The history of the Saresii begins almost 2 million years when the Pree land on Sares and make the pre industrial society of the Saresii aware of other civilizations in the Universe. No records or detailed records of this meeting survived and what little is known is based on myth and legends. According to these legends, the Pree revealed to the Saresii that they were selected as the successors of the Pree. The Pree themselves declared that they would leave the Galaxy forever and move to a distant place. In the Legend it is said the Pree were fleeing from an enemy of immense power. Something the Pree had done made another not identified civilization or entity very angry and seek the ultimate destruction of the Pree. Before they left they gifted the Saresii with Psionic abilities and left behind much technological knowledge. The Saresii rose to become a strong expansionistic civilization but their empire collapsed seven times due to internal struggles and rebellions. Legends have it that the Saresii bombed themselves several times almost to extinction until they managed to unify their factions and spread over a vast section of the Spinward sector. It was then they met the Celtest. A civilization more advanced than theirs and also gifted with Psionic powers. The Celtest at this point were controlling much of the Galaxy. When the Celtest were faced with a mysterious enemy today only known as the Dark Ones, the Nul and the Saresii agreed to fight with the Celtest. The Celtest lost and the Dark Ones punished the Saresii by destroying every Colony and every planet the Saresii owned except Saresii Prime. The surviving Saresii prohibited all space flight activity and research and blamed male aggressiveness, their last emperor and male warrior behavior for the catastrophe and prohibited men from having any say in politics or holding official positions in the government. The obsession to obliterate all male influence went so far as they prohibited men to receive education. Any display of masculine nature was outlawed. Men were prohibited from growing beards. While the Saresii knew they needed males to maintain a healthy gene pool, genetic tailoring and selective breeding was and is extensively used and children of both sexes are raised to look and accept female behavior patterns and looks. It became the basis of Saresii Culture even though almost 200,000 years of exclusive female government was far from peaceful. Aggressiveness and conflict was clearly not a gender specific condition. Running out of resources and space the Saresii finally resumed space exploration, but kept their expansion to a few solar systems close to their home world. While the anti male hysteria is a thing of the past, all Saresii appear to be female and can only be distinguished by their names. Even Saresii themselves usually can't distinguish unless they use their Psionic powers. It was then when the Saresii used their combined Psionic powers to pull all seven rock planets of their own system in the same optimal orbit around their sun and terra formed all seven planets into almost identical looking garden worlds of great, but artificial and designed beauty. The first Terran visitors describe the planets as huge manicured parks and gardens. No wild growing forests, truly wild animals or untouched shore and stream lines exist. The Saresii took part in the Galactic Council to repel the Y'All, but it was the Narth and the Wurgus who achieved the victory. After the Terran ascent and after the Terrans, the Ult, the Pan Sarans and the Sarans came together to form the Union, the Saresii joined shortly after. The Saresii are known for their vast Psionic powers, great knowledge and well developed technology that is in general considered to be Tech Level 9. Saresii tech puts great emphasis on Psionics and there are Psi enhancers, Psi Shields and psi energy based weapons. Saresii appear human in all aspects and it requires very little DNA adjustments for biological comp ability. Even though they are technically not a founding member of the Union, they are the first Civilization that joined and as such heavily involved in all aspects of the Union. Saresii colonists and settlers can be found thru ought Union space.
