Sadala

Summary
A society of aliens called "saiyans" lives on planet Sadala. This is the world their species was born on, and where they come home to when it's time to pass into the next life should they not die in glorious combat. ( Honor is found in life, however, not death. A Saiyan who dies in combat is no better than a Saiyan who dies an old man. )

Governed by a monarchy, the pride of their people is their military, which consumes most of their society. All saiyans are taught combat from a young age, and those that do not enlist in the military find ways to support their warriors in other ways, be it in scientific research, combat knowledge, food preparation, and more. There is no greater, or lesser job. Everything comes back to one purpose: Being strong enough to overcome obstacles. You can't do this if you are hungry, abused, or unclothed!

Our universe does not have saiyan invasion babies, but rather a generic society in which children grow up normally, and do not enlist in to the actual military until adulthood. Any involvement before adulthood would be strictly on a military school styled basis. Although many families put pride in the military over other jobs, not all families put pressure on their children to become warriors, but rather direct them to jobs they believe their children's skills will benefit their people the most!

Saiyans come in all shapes and sizes, ranging in both heights, and weights. They're inherently stronger than many other races and have had space travel for hundreds of years now. They pride themselves on combat and combat knowledge, and do not take kindly to either outsiders, or traitors. With a fair, and just monarch and a powerful military with few losses under their belt, there is no true reason to leave the planet, or attempt to rebel. ( It does happen from time to time. There are also those who have been exiled, rather than killed. They too are looked down upon. )

On Sadala there is no "warrior caste" system - although terms like low, and elite exist in regards to power, it does not impact your social status in any way, and you must earn that through other means such as money, connections, personality, and social situations. What they do impact is power at birth - most saiyans have the potential to reach max, just like anyone born an elite, but those born low will struggle more in achieving greatness, and generally have to work harder to match. This has led, at times, to division among people, but the fair king has ensured that it does not impact your overall status on the planet.

Twelve years ago the queen of the saiyans died in childbirth, and despite all of the medical care in the world, the baby had supposedly been lost with her. For ten years Sadala remained a reclusive king, until it was revealed that not only had the child survived, but they had a princess: Fennel, who has changed their society in ways they never thought possible. Although they were once conquerors who wiped out whole species, and laid claim to the planets, they have moved to training to protect others instead, expanding their pool of allies, but ruffling some feathers among those Saiyans that enjoyed their warmongering days.

Three years ago was the first instance of a Super Saiyan - a former member of the military who ended up going mad after suffering atrocities on Earth, coupled with the overwhelming power. Those that followed him fell victim to a similar fate: Every person that went Super Saiyan went ballistic, and lashed out at those people around them - they lost all control of their senses, and destruction followed. Mixed rumors of a curse and its source surfaced, blamed on the power, a human woman, or a Makai that made a nuisance of themselves. A rare occurrence among saiyans as a whole, it acts both as a burden, and a beacon of hope to the saiyan people.
