The New Saiyan Empire

'''History: ''']As many people already know, the original Saiyan race came to the planet Plant, inhabited by the Tuffles, and after a fighting a long war with the Tuffles, the Saiyans exterminated them in a single night after transforming into Great Apes at the sight of Planet Plants full-moon. They renamed their new homeworld Planet Vegeta after their king, and after meeting the Arcosians, somehow became slaves to the World Trade Organization. Their Arcosian overlord, Frieza, destroyed their homeworld after coming to acknowledge the Saiyans as a threat to his supremacy. Of the few survivors, one named Son Goku, a Saiyan raised on Earth, became a Super Saiyan and defeated the tyrant Frieza in a viscous battle over a dying planet, and thus started the downfall of the World Trade Organization. The New Saiyan Empire's founding begins at the hands of Humans from Earth, who desperately wanted to be Saiyans after somehow discovering the truth of Son Goku defeating the evil Majin Buu. To that end, they secretly took gene samples from both living pure blood and half-breed Saiyans, as well as a cadavar (Raditz) and performed experiments on themselves and several volunteers who also wanted to become Saiyans. By taking the best genes that Saiyans had to offer and filling in gaps with purely synthetic genetic information, the group was able to become the New Saiyans. Unfortunately, they came into conflict with the Z-Fighters when they looked at the full moon, not realizing that it would turn them into Great Apes. Vegeta, the planets greatest defender at the time and also a Saiyan, removed their tails to return them to normal and, more than a little insulted by what they had turned themselves into, banished them from the Earth. ]Taking a Capsule Corp. spaceship the New Saiyans left the planet in search of all the information they could find on Saiyans. They came across a planet that used to be part of the now defunct World Trade Organization, an infamous organization that wiped out entire species to sell their planets on an unknown market. As Saiyans were once part of this organization, the planet had large stores of information. Using that information, the New Saiyans went to find a planet that could serve as the new home for the Saiyan Race. They found one 3 years after being banished from Earth; the planet was harsh and not inhabited by any sentient life, leaving it suitable for the New Saiyans to call home. Using the equipment they brought with them and some they acquired from their travels through space, the New Saiyans created a lab were they grew cloned Saiyans based on randomized genes, creating nearly 8000 newborn Saiyan children in a single year. The New Saiyans built a large city for themselves and began raising the Saiyan children based on the values of the original Saiyans before they were annexed by the World Trade Organization. After 2 decades, the city was finished and the children had fully grown, laying the foundation for the Saiyans return to the Universe as a force to be feared and respected. ]Age 817: Officially the year of the New Saiyan Empires founding. The original New Saiyans set themselves up as rulers of various kingdoms across New Vegeta. Over the next few centuries the Empire would begin trading with other races for technology and resources, as well as hiring themselves out for protection and mercenary work. Rumors of the Saiyan races return sends shockwaves throughout the universe. ]Age 841: War between the New Saiyan Empire and an humanoid race called the Keljin over colony rights of an unknown planet, but ends in a brutal victory for the Saiyans, with the near extermination of the Keljin. Afterwards, the survivors were enslaved by the New Saiyan Empire. To this day Keljin slaves are a common sight throughout the New Saiyan Empire. ]Age 921: The New Saiyan Empire has at least 17 colonies throughout space, and dozens of outposts on allied planets. This Age is most notable because it was when a member of the New Saiyan Empire went Super Saiyan for the first time, and in doing so became the Empires first High King. It wasn't long after that, that a large number of Saiyans achieved the level of Super Saiyan, completely rewriting the definition of Super-Elite. ]Age 923-924: Founding of the Saiyan Knights, a group of Saiyans who had achieved Super Saiyan and were assigned to protect the planet and the Royal Families at all cost. Their first experience of combat came when a coalition of alien space pirates called the Red Meteors was hired to assassinate the Royal Family on Planet Vegeta. The Saiyans Knights easily destroyed the Red Meteors, and tracked down who hired them to a planet called Knarga, and led an army of low and mid-class Saiyans to wipe the planet clean. Attacks against the Royal Family became almost non-existent afterwards. ]Age 935-943: The New Saiyan Empire begins a series of experiments into enhancing Saibamen for better use in training Saiyan Warriors. An accident creates a breed of Saibamen that is not only stronger and smarter, but can reproduce rapidly without outside help. These Super Saibamen prove uncontrollable, and take over the planet they are on (Baskaret) through sheer numbers, forcing the small population of Saiyans inhabiting that planet to flee and regroup on the its moon. Experiments relating directly with Saibamen are heavily restricted by unanimous vote from Saiyan Royalty, and reinforcements are immediately sent to Baskaret's moon for reconquest of the planet. ]Age 944-950: Beginning of the Saiba Wars, a series of attempts made the New Saiyan Empire and its allies to retake planet Baskaret in the name of the Saiyan Race. Efforts are hindered by the Saibamens overwhelming numbers, and a new sub-breed of Saibamen that reigns dominant over the others, with powers nearly equal to that of an Elite-Class Saiyan. The Saiba Wars ends when the Saiyan Knights, led by the Saiyan King himself, lead the final attempt to conquer the planet. All of the Saibamen are wiped out within a week. Total control over the planet is reestablished, and many veterans of the war had become Super Saiyans, leading many Saiyans to label the Saiba War as the New Saiyan Empires greatest victory. ]Age 975: The home planet of the Arcosians, the same race as Frieza, the villain who enslaved and then nearly destroyed the original Saiyan Race, is discovered by an expeditionary force. Plans for war are immediately drawn up after the news reaches the Kings ears. ]Age 982-989: Saiyans, as well as dozens of races who had been enslaved or brought to near-extinction by the Arcosians, launch a joint attack against worlds held by the Arcosians, including their homeworld New Arcose. Several planets were completely destroyed, others had their populations exterminated, but a few held on for dear life. New Arcose, a planet originally conquered by the Saiyans themselves because the Arcosians needed a new home, was the most resilient of all the planets involved in the Saiyan-Arcosian War. The Arcosians make one final stand on their homeworld, and a 2 year-long siege takes place. In the end, the Saiyan King himself goes to the Planet, and in a symbolic gesture, destroys the entire planet from orbit, and thus puts the entire Arcosian race on the endangered species list. Many rulers of the Arcosian race are sentenced to live imprisonment on New Vegeta, where rumors of continuous torture are spun. ]Age 1011-1025: The New Saiyan Empire reaches its current peak; 52 planets under its control, with a massive army and tremendous wealth gained from trade and economic savvy. This was considered by most scholars to be the beginning of the brief Saiyan Races Golden Age, as Saiyans were one of the most popular mercenaries in the universe. ]Age 1026-1028: A resurgent Red Meteors, larger and even more powerful than the Planet Trade Organization, becomes the most popular mercenary group in the universe thanks to their ruthless efforts in muscling out competition. Saiyans respond by muscling back, eventually lead to a series of skirmishes known as the Contract Cold War. Often times when a client would hire one, a rival client would hire the other in response, understandably worsening relations between both sides. ]Age 1029: When a Saiyan Knight is killed by a group Red Meteors while returning home from a mission, the Saiyan High King declares war against the Red Meteors, and the New Saiyan Empire instates a policy where anyone wearing the mark of the Red Meteors is to be killed on sight. Thus begins the Second Red Meteor War. ]Age 1030-1034: The Red Meteors are forced out of the Saiyans region of the Galaxy, and the Saiyans begin to hunt the Red Meteors across space, largely turning the war into a sport. Unfortunately, the Red Meteors retaliated by tricking various races into wearing their emblem, and as the Saiyans have a kill-on-sight order from the High King himself, they were forced to destroy various worlds. This caused a ripple effect throughout the galaxy, as many races declared war against the apparently bloodthirsty and savage Saiyans. With few contracts providing a means to support their economy, the New Saiyan Empire lost large portions of its wealth and became desperate for money. This is the official beginning of the Great Saiyan War. ]Age 1035-: The New Saiyan Empire is at war with dozens of other races as well as the Red Meteors, and the war is currently a stalemate. Several planets have been devastated on both sides, 3 have been completely wiped clean of all life. Casualties have reached into the billions. The New Saiyan Empires is placed on the defensive on all fronts by the sheer number of opponents that they have to contend with, and while the Saiyan race still has great wealth it is rapidly being depleted by the war. Efforts to make peace or even a truce of sorts have failed miserably, and people are looking to the Royal Family to find a way to end this war. Present Time.

'''Government: New Saiyan Empire '''-Type: Tribal Monarchy/Meritocracy, elements of Democracy are present -Capital: Prime Cathedral, New Vegeta

'''Culture: ''']The Saiyans were very strict when it came to the rules of battle in the engagements of war or even for living. It didn't matter if they were in battle or in times of peace certain rules were to be upheld no matter the cost. 1. A warrior is in no way to bring shame to their family or self as it reflects upon not only themselves but those whom they are related to. 2. When engaging in battle three things must be present. The opponent must be at full strength, they must not have their back turned at the moment of the kill, and they must be of equal or greater in strength. 3. A warrior is in no way to run from, nor look away from an ensuing battle unless one's own life is threatened and is about to be dealt, in this manner, it should be promised for a rematch and a definite call for end would have to be made until that time. 4. A Saiyan must always tell the truth to those that ask a question, unless they be of an enemy race upon which they may withhold information from the person. 5. Backstabbing is not to be practiced. If as a warrior you are going to kill a person, tell them flat out you are and then uphold your word, it is the one thing that binds you stronger than any physical bindings. 6. A vow is the strongest promise a warrior makes. If you vow to repay a debt, give a marriage vow, you are to uphold that vow to the best of your ability even unto death. If you can't uphold it, don't make it. 7. When asked to do something as a final request, and if it brings the warrior no shame, they should carry out that wish to the best of their ability. A deathbed vow is the greatest vow you can ever give as it binds you to that until your own demise. 8. When making a challenge, it is the same as making a vow, you should make sure that you carry out the challenge. However if your challenge is declined by the challenged, then it is to be backed off of and not attempted until the next meeting. If you are the one being challenged then it falls back to whether it would be honorable or not. It must include all three requirements before you can accept it. Should you accept it, you are to only take on the challenger and not include any others to it. ]Saiyans, both original and new, were often depicted as ruthless or barbaric, but in fact Saiyan Civilization was based on honor, pride, strength and (brutal) honesty. Saiyans are a race that is naturally inclined to violence, and as the first New Saiyans realized this, they focused on channeling that violent energy into a sport of sorts. Saiyans of the New Saiyan Empire loved playing competitive games and trying to become as strong as they possibly can, making life for Saiyans into a fun contest that encourages them to stay strong and keep growing stronger, as well as to better hold their ground. Saiyans can often be seen enjoying the fruits of their labors, whether it be boasting of great victories in battle or simply completing a completing an often difficult personalized training regimen. However, a Saiyans life wasn't only of battle; Saiyans would talk of their night-life, their family, and more common things. Saiyans were extremely social with each other, and would often form unshakable bonds of friendship, or even love, not being the cold-blooded and savage killers most make them out to be. ]Unlike most empires, whose rule fell to a single ruler, the New Saiyan Empire was ruled by a many kingdoms on individual planets, all of which were ruled by appointed seat-holders and acknowledge the High King of all Saiyans. These lesser rulers would handle the daily tasks that the High King couldn't be bothered with, such as dealing with disputes and generally making sure everything runs smoothly, while the High King would deal in matters that effect the Saiyan race as a whole, such as diplomacy and trade with foreign powers, visiting the various kingdoms, talking with the commoners, handling the funding for various programs throughout the empire, as well as many other things. Saiyans often looked for other races in hopes of forming contracts with them (usually offers of protection), but if a contract between the Saiyans and another race was somehow broken in a way that was not agreed upon by both parties, often times the High King would take great insult and declare war against the offending party. This is largely because Saiyans take their word and the word of others very seriously, and liars and thieves are NOT respected amongst Saiyans. And so other races have to very careful when dealing with Saiyans, because the Saiyans will look after their own before anyone else. ]Saiyans as a whole were often strictly business types, always out for themselves and not showing much concern for other races beyond what they can get from them in a deal. This often related to whether or not to risking sending someone to help, and if so what level they would be. Even so, the High King had the final say on all matters dealing with other species. ]Saiyan Knights are widely respected as the protectors of the Saiyan race and the empire, and generally regarded as some of the most powerful Saiyans in the universe. The members of the Saiyan Knights are all able to achieve Super Saiyan transformation, and are constantly training and on patrol to deal with any threats to the New Saiyan Empire. As a symbolic gesture, most Saiyan Knights have their tails amputated as a way of saying they no longer need to transform into Great Apes anymore. Saiyan Knights are rarely sent away from their home planet, whether its New Vegeta or a colony within the New Saiyan Empire, but during times of war or when a threat to the empire is designated, the Saiyan Knights will often be sent to deal with the problem themselves. Understandably, the sight of Super Saiyan clad in black and gold armor is a thing most enemies of the Saiyan race never want to see. ]Though uncommon, it isn't impossible for Saiyans to adopt a member of another species into their families. This often happens when Saiyans find a infant or child alone while out on a mission. Many Saiyans will take pity on the child and bring them home, assuming they aren't the cause of the child's loneliness (war or planetary conquest). If this happens, most other Saiyans will acknowledge that child as being a member of the Saiyan Empire, and will expect that child to perform most of the same jobs as regular Saiyans when he/she/it reaches adolescence. ]When Saiyans marry, to them its simply a vow made where the two Saiyans pair for life, the wife takes the surname of the husband, and moves into his household. Its very rare for a vow to break, but it can and does happen. Often the wife will cook and clean around the house, and will help train with their husbands to keep both of themselves in shape, but she is also a competent warrior, and will go out with her teammates on missions like any male Saiyan. Every Saiyan is born a warrior in the making. As such, couples are rarely ever on the same team, where situations in battle may cause severe distraction. There are of course occasional arguments in the household between a married couple, but this typically ends with the husband backing down at the end. Despite these arguments the only times two would normally ever fight is during training sessions. The bond between married couples can be so strong that when one dies, often the other will die soon afterwards from grief. ]In death, Saiyans could be cremated or buried, but often times when death in battle occurs, one of the Saiyans teammates may destroy the body as an act of preserving his/her fallen comrades honor. This usually takes place unless instructions were given prior to the deceased Saiyans death. ]Crime rates within the New Saiyan Empire were rare at best, as Saiyans tend to look out for their own, and crimes were usually punished to the point where they would never happen again. Many times, the local royalty, or even the High King himself, would preside over the trial and deal out the punishment themselves. ]Saiyans had various institutions within their empire for various purposes, such as schools, hospitals, combat training zones, scientific research, and much more. Much like Humans, Saiyans ran various stores and facilities, keeping them running as smoothly as possible. Most times, elder or adolescent Saiyans would run these places, with the adolescent Saiyans expected to live by the Saiyan Code of Honor by the time they reached full adulthood.

'''Ranking: '''-Slaves: consisting of any race that has been conquered by the Saiyans, but very rarely the Saiyans themselves, the slaves are used as cheap labor to handle the "dirty jobs" that a "true warrior" would never find himself doing. Indeed, a Saiyan would prefer farm work over the jobs that a typical slave of the Saiyan Empire would have to endure, which can range from sewage cleaner, to live practice dummy, to cannon fodder during battle. Average power level can range from 5-100,000. -Low-Class: The most common type of Saiyan, and highly respected as the foundation of the New Saiyan Empire. A low-class Saiyan is often seen enjoying the simpler things in life, not having many things to worry about. They would perform jobs such as farming, working in factories, performing light priority missions for clients outside of the empire, and more. Average power level is 200,000-400,000. -Mid-Class: The step up from low-class, these Saiyans are often more involved with management and are usually assigned more difficult missions, typically ranging from planetary conquest to defending high priority clients. Average power level is 500,000-900,000. -Elite-Class: The class that is most often involved in military matters, and are always rulers of the various kingdoms throughout the New Saiyan Empire. They would do the most difficult missions, and by extension they would make the most money. As such they are widely considered the New Saiyan Empires main source of income. Average power level is 1,000,000-1,500,000. -Super Elite-Class: The most rarely seen class of Saiyan, and even then they are most often seen within the Royal Family. Symbolic of their power is the ritualistic removal of their tail, an act which means to Saiyan society at large that they no longer need to transform into a Great Ape. This is because Super-Elites all have the ability to transform into Super Saiyans. The highest level anyone within the Empire has ever reached so far is Super Saiyan 2. Average power level is 5,000,000-10,000,000.

'''Saiyan Abilities: '''-Ki Manipulation: A Saiyans Ki is the main source of his/her power, and it is what allows them to become the most feared warriors in the universe. By using Ki a Saiyan can fly, shoot energy blasts, or even enhance the power of his/her attacks to devastating levels. -Ki Sense: Though not a natural ability, most Saiyans are trained to sense another persons Ki, making it easier to track their movements, detect Ki-based attacks, or gauge their strength. -Strength: Living in environments where the gravity is often 10X higher than Earth, Saiyans are naturally predisposed to be stronger than Humans, or other Humanoids for that matter. Their strength varies between individuals, but a low-class Saiyan alone can often times conquer entire planets by him/herself, although most rely on a full moon to transform into a Great Ape in order to conquer a whole planet. -Speed: Saiyans are capable of moving at speeds faster than the average Human eye can register, being able to dodge bullets at point-blank range. -Endurance: Saiyans can have levels of endurance that can put most opponents at a serious disadvantage. Most Saiyans put their bodies under unimaginable levels of stress in order to increase their endurance for times of battle. A fully trained Saiyan Warrior can survive attacks that would cripple most opponents and still come back wanting more. -Senses: As the Original Saiyans had to survive in the harshest of conditions and hunt fierce prey, in order to survive they developed razor sharp senses that vastly out-class that of Humans. -Intelligence: Despite their reputation as being nothing more than thugs and killers, Saiyans are often found to have surprising levels of intelligence. They can learn multiple languages and can easily discern battle tactics, even while they themselves are fighting, and are capable of outwitting their opponents during the heat of combat. -Healing: A Saiyan is capable of healing several times faster and more efficiently than a Human, able to heal from injuries within days where a Human might take weeks to recover from the same injury. -Zenkai: Saiyans have a natural ability to grow stronger as they fight. This translates to whether they win or lose; if a Saiyan is beaten within an inch of his/her life and survives the battle, they will come out far stronger than before, which may relate to how serious the damage was. This was the main reason why Frieza tried to exterminate the Saiyans the first time. -Life Span: Saiyans can live up to a theoretical maximum of 270 years, and age very gracefully compared to some other races. Saiyans can stay in their prime for most of their lives without losing their edge. -Great Ape: While a Saiyan still has their Tail, they have the ability to transform into Great Apes, gigantic red-eyed primates, at which point their power increases 10X. When a full moon is out it reflects a Blutz Waves, an energy measured in Zenos, and when that energy reaches 17,000,000 Zenos a Saiyan can look at the moon and absorb that energy through his/her retina, which will cause a response within glands located in the Saiyans tail. As long as the Saiyan still has a tail, the Saiyan will begin to transform, growing larger and assuming an ape-like form. Often times when a Saiyan transforms into a Great Ape they lose control of themselves, attacking anything within reach. However, an Elite-class, and even many Middle-Class, could retain control during their transformation through special training. -Super Saiyan: Characterized by golden hair and blue eyes (with the exception of Super Saiyan 4), Super Saiyan is the most powerful form a Saiyan can take, and one that few ever achieve. The requirements are to be at a certain level of power, to supposedly be pure of heart, and to experience intense rage. The result is a form which can increase a Saiyans power as much as 50X. Super Saiyan has a total of 3 transformations (4 if you count Super Saiyan 4), with each dramatically increasing the Saiyans power as it is achieved. Once the level of Super Saiyan is achieved, it can be assumed at any time by that particular Saiyan.

'''Saiyan Technology: '''-Battle Armor: Drastically different from the armor worn by the original Saiyans during their time in the World Trade Organization, this armor covered the entire body including the head. A tough but stretchy full body-suit with climate control capabilities covered the inner layer, while the outer layer was covered in an extremely high-quality rubber/carbon composite that covered the torso, groin, arms, legs and head. The Helmet was equipped with a communicator, HUD, and a built-in power level reading system. Can allow a Saiyan to breathe underwater near-indefinitely under the right conditions, or in space for roughly 72 minutes. -Scouter: Based on the original design, the model now used by the New Saiyan Empire is able to read higher and more rapid changes in power levels without malfunctioning. -Attack Spheres: Ships used by the original Saiyans as well as the World Trade Organization, though made for greater resilience and can travel at 4 light-years per hour. -Saiyan Battleships: Large space ships equipped with a wide range of defensive and offensive capabilities. These ships can carry as many as 400-700 Attack Spheres, and over 800-1200 Saiyans at any given time depending on their configuration. These ships can travel at speeds of 9 light years per hour. -Saibamen: Saibamen are artificial life-forms originally created by the original Saiyans and used mostly by the World Trade Organization as shock troops, cannon fodder, to weed out weak opponents, and/or as part of training exercises (which often ends in the death of the Saibamen). Saibamen are largely restricted to teaching Saiyan children how to fight, but often times they can be used by older Saiyans to polish off their skills, or in some cases just blow off steam. Several variants were created in order to simulate both the chaos of battle and the conditions one could face in battle. Unfortunately, development of new breeds of Saibamen has slowed to a crawl as of the Saiba Wars, where rogue Super Saibamen took over an entire planet and it took several years to wipe them out. As such a Saibamans power level can range from 600-50,000 in total, or in the case of Super Saibamen somewhere around 200,000-900,000. -Rejuvenation Chambers: A large pod like device where an injured soldier is placed inside and suspended in a healing liquid to repair his/her injuries, a process which may take around 30 minutes but largely depends on the severity of the injuries. This technology was created by the World Trade Organization, and used by the original Saiyans. -Garden Towers: Gigantic Towers that grow enough food to support to entire planets inside a contained and environmentally controlled habitat. Useful for planets that are particularly harsh, even for Saiyans. This technology and design concept was purchased from a client species which has since become allies to the New Saiyan Empire. -Gravity Chambers: Environmental Chambers that can manipulate gravity within themselves. Typically used for training, can increase local gravity to 200X that of Earths own gravity, though such a level is only used by super-elites. The technology was acquired from Earth just before the original New Saiyans banishment.
