The Sazzarran Empire was not always a united entity. Many millenia ago, it was divided into three factions on its homeworld. Zzarr, a temperate world with only about 35% water mass. All three factions were reptilian in nature, measured between 2.5 to 3 metres in height or length, and had a range of blue, gray, green or brown colours.
The sea dwellers, known as vassixx, mostly have blue and green skin. At first, they just lived in colonies in the sea caves. Centuries later, they had met the ground dwellers, the drathkoni, and were introduced to building cities under water.
The vassixx appreciated the help the drathkoni offered, but soon realized the drathkoni also wanted to take advantage of the resources in the oceans, which was starting to prove harmful to their colonies.
Using the technology the drathkoni had taught them, the vassixx were able to create their own weapons and armour that would allow them to fight against the drathkoni to protect their oceans and the colonies within. The war began with the vassixx taking the most casualties. They could only go so far on land before they needed water to survive. They created a special breathing apparatus, but if it was compromised, they were in danger of dying from lack of fluid. The drathkoni did not fare any better when fighting under water. Although they had one-person to multi-person submersible craft, the vassixx had the upper hand and once they penetrated the vessels, the drathoni only had their water suits to protect them until those were also penetrated.
After several years of fighting, both races were finally able to come to an agreement. The drathkoni would trade resources with the vassixx.
The air dwellers, known as the sorrazha, are a brown and gray-skinned gargoyle-like race that originally lived in caves in the mountain regions. Drathkoni geologists found a colony of the sorrazha when they were looking for mineral deposits for mining.
The sorrazha did not take kindly to being forced out of their homes, so they retaliated by swarming down on the drathkoni miners, and soldiers providing security for the miners. Both sides took casualties that resulted in the drathkoni hunting down any sorrazha colonies and enslaving them. The sorrazha just went higher into the mountains but the drathkoni were ecventually able to track them to their new lairs.
In one particular mountain, known as the Peak of Despair by the drathkoni, the sorrazha had laid a trap for any drathkoni that entered the caves. The drathkoni lost thousands of soldiers. They tried to burn the sorrrazha out of the caves. The sorrazha had other cave opening they used as egress routes, which allowed them to escape the burning death.
This went on for a few years, with the drathkoni building mines in the mountain and hilly regions, meanwhile forcing the sorrazha to find new homes. Eventually, the sorrazha were met by drathkoni scientists on an expedition to find and research the sorrazha culture. At first the sorrazha were skeptical and would not have anything to do with a drathkoni. It took months, but the drathkoni scientists were proven to be friendly and trustworthy enough to allow into the sorrazha colony.
As the scientists learned more about the sorrazha and reported any findings to their chain of command, they also taught the sorrazha parts of their own culture and technology. The sorrazha found that the drathkoni needed to mine valuable resources in the mountains in order to expand beyond this world. The sorrazha, although curious about such a venture, just wanted to be left alone. The drathkoni government would not stop until they could mine everything they could find under the surface of their world. It was decided by the drathkoni high council that the sorrazha were to be given sky cities to inhabit. This way, they could create the cities as they wished, would not be hunted, and it would allow the drathoni to mine to their hearts content.
There was one exception that if there were any mountains that had no resources to mine the sorrazha would also be allowed to inhabit them. It was agreed, and in several years, the sorrazha had their first sky city hovering on massive grav assisted engines kilometres above the Zzarran surface.
The ground dwellers, known as drathkoni, have green to brown skin. Not unlike we humans of Earth, they evolved to develop an organized colony, and started to learn more about building better housing, better weapons to hunt, and creating a justice system against crime.
Thousands of years later, the drathkoni were as civilized as humanity is in the 21st century. The drathkoni had explored all of their world, and during that time had met the sea dwelling vassix and air dwelling sorrazha, and were found to be the most aggressive and most numerous of the three races.
The dratkoni government had expanded and became a worldwide organization, uniting all three intelligent races, and calling themselves Sazzarr, meaning one world. But not before they had mines set up in key spots around their world to refine the best resources they could for creating better vessels that could take them off of this world, and to colonize other worlds nearby. Of course they had a massive military force created for all three races that would train and work well with another in preparation for other world domination, or colonization, as they like to call it.
The drathkoni would be the ground force. The sorrazha the air force, and the vassix the sea faring forces. They each had armour, weapons and equipment best suited to their elements. It took another two hundred years before they could start expanding to the nearby inhabited systems. At first they sent probes, then small scout ships to study, then colony and warships to "colonize".
Within 500 years, the Sazzarr had occupied and terraformed at least 100 worlds. They now called themselves the Sazzarran Empire. Within 1000 years, they had over 600 worlds. They were nearly unstoppable, until they met the Djoreli.
