The Saiyan Empire was an ancient empire run by the Saiyan race thousands of years before the events of Dragon Ball. It was, at one time, one of the more powerful intergalactic empires in Universe 7. However, poor management, slave uprisings, cutthroat betrayals, and wars with rival empires and military groups eventually crippled the Saiyan Empire, resulting in the deaths of trillions of Saiyans. From all the fighting, the Saiyan species were reduced to only small, devolved population on Planet Vegeta, their original capitol world.
History[]
Not much is known of the early Saiyan Empire. They were known to rule over hundreds of planets, having enslaved many native species to do their bidding. Their armies were hundreds of millions strong. The Saiyan Empire is only mentioned in Cyleria's story about an ancient Legendary Super Saiyan.
Tahros, the king of the Saiyans roughly two thousand years ago, had alienated many of his governors and military commanders, for he acted like a drunken, partying fool all the time. Slave species began rising up against the Saiyans as Tahros ran out of money. They took over many outer colonies. Tahros only responded to their threat, however, when the slave species began to unite, pooling their armies and ships together. He appointed his nephew Yaro to be the Supreme Admiral to lead the defense of the Saiyan Empire. This proved a disastrous decision, as Yaro was not only unqualified, but not a particularly intelligent Saiyan. He was often out-maneuvered and tactically undressed by the slave species, leading to massive losses. Yaro lost the support of his soldiers. Tahros' half-brother Akres went behind Yaro's back and took control of 90% of the royal fleet.
Instead of fighting off the slave species, he returned to the Saiyans' homeworld and confronted Tahros on the stairs leading up to his palace. There, he slew his half-brother and declared himself the new emperor of the Saiyan Empire. He also said that the Legendary Super Saiyan would come from his loins. Yaro was then attacked by the slave species' fleets and his meager armada was obliterated, with every last warrior killed in the battle above Poraxes Minor. Then, the slave species' fleets entered into the Saiyan Empire's territory and liberated dozens of planets from its control.
After the Saiyan Empire began to crumble following various defeats at the hands of a coalition of rebelling slave species, the Tigahl Empire, sensing weakness in their arch enemy's territory, decided to attack. It was at that time that the Legendary Super Saiyan emerged. Ledas was shocked to learn that she had been a woman. Len lived on Planet Margous, which was under the command of Commander Radichus, who was loyal to King Tahros. Akres sent Daikoros, his best warrior, with a fleet to Margous to take back the planet from Radichus. What ensued was a massive fight with millions of Saiyans on each side attacking one another for control of the outpost.
Len and her brother Cilano had tried to escape from Margous while Daikoros' fleet attacked. Daikoros' forces overwhelmed Radichus, forcing Len, Cilano, and the few survivors to flee out of the outpost and to Torben Fields, which was just outside the city. There, Daikoros and his men surrounded the last of Radichus' warriors. Daikoros personally dueled with Radichus and killed him. Afterwards, he asked if anyone would step forward to avenge their leader, but nobody did. So he ordered his men to butcher the survivors. They took out two-thirds of them. Then, Daikoros told them to take the remainder as prisoners. Cyleria glossed over the fact that Daikoros' men raped many of the survivors. Nevertheless, one of the soldiers came and took Len away from her brother so that he could rape her.
As he walked off with Len thrown over a shoulder, Cilano chased after him and punched him in the nose, making him fall to the ground. The man went to kill Cilano, but Admiral Daikoros stepped in and prevented it. When the soldier complained that his pick had been Len, Daikoros asked him to take another. He refused, so the admiral killed him. Then, he took Cilano and Len to be his own slaves.
It was not long after that the Saiyan Empire and Tigahl Empire clashed. Admiral Daikoros invaded the world of Lipanto, but God-Emperor Mingahl's forces pushed the Saiyans back, resulting in Daikoros' death, as well as most of the members of his fleet. The survivors were taken as prisoners, and the Saiyan Empire crumbled that day. Len and Cilano were taken as prisoners by the Tigahl Empire and brought back to Loru Qir, where they were to be used in beast-taming entertainment for the natives. One day, Cilano was pitted against a Uagoni Viper. He managed to kill it, but it bit him, depositing its parasitoid larvae in his flesh. The Tigahl warriors had to kill him eventually, before the larvae broke free from his skin. Ledas was falling asleep, so he missed some of what his mother was saying. Soon afterwards, though, Len transformed into a Legendary Super Saiyan from her grief. She destroyed the Tigahl Empire and left the planet. Ledas began to imagine himself flying and fighting with her.
She went next to Idiro VI, the home of the Ever-Apes, Saiyans who would never leave their Great Ape Transformation, for it was always a full moon there. Ledas drifted out of the story for a bit, coming back when his mother got to the part about the Corvos League geo-turfers using Len to rouse a hibernating beast for them. Ledas grew excited, for he had never heard this part of the story before. She had been able to wake it up with her immense power. The monster, known as the False Nyarin, was actually Majin Jaduu, a false Majin who had been created by Bibidi millions of years prior. Len fought Jaduu, but was unable to beat him. He nearly killed her, leaving her for dead on the planet she had awakened him from. Jaduu began rampaging through the Saiyan Empire. Len did not confront him immediately, instead deciding to take some time to train and hone her abilities in her Legendary Super Saiyan form first.
Once her training was complete, she went to King Akres and tried to get his support to help her kill Jaduu. He agreed and sent an army to her location. When that army arrived, they attacked her. Either a full moon or a power ball was unleashed (Cyleria told Ledas that her mother had thought it was a full moon, but she thought that was too convenient, so thought that a power ball, or a similar technique, had probably been used), and all of Akres' soldiers turned into Great Apes. She too turned into a Great Ape, her fur turning golden as she transformed. Most of the apes, including Len, were not conscious during the fight.
Len only became conscious when Jaduu arrived on the planet she was waiting for him on. Sensing his power, she gained control over her Great Ape form. The surviving Great Ape Saiyans ran off. Len attacked Jaduu, but was unable to land a hit. In her Great Ape form, she was too slow, so she cut off her tail and attacked him again. When she did, she showed him her newly-achieved Legendary Super Saiyan form (she had merely been using Super Saiyan before). The two fought, and it was a bloody affair. Nevertheless, Len got the better of Jaduu and was able to incinerate him before he could regenerate.
What came after this was unknown, although Zhukin traced his lineage back to Len, implying that she stuck around for a while. It was likely that she killed Akres for his treachery, either taking over the empire for herself, or appointing someone more worthy. However, what was known was that by around 2000 Before Age, the empire had entirely collapsed, and only a small, primitive group of Saiyans had survived the slave species' uprisings on Planet Vegeta.
