Planet Vegeta (Sadala) timeline headcanons.
Because I'm salty canon slapped together a garbage continuity (*cringes @ the various retcons, inconsistencies, and Episode of Bardock*), but did nothing with it at the same time. CW for death and war and geno/cide and all that; the Saiyans are indeed the Saiyans.
— The Tuffles and Saiyans were native to Sadala & lived on it for hundreds of thousands of years. One can assume they originally belonged to the same "species class" before evolution caused the two groups to split and deviate from one another.
— The Tuffles became more intellectually & technology advanced far quicker than the Saiyans. While the Tuffles eventually built towns & cities, the Saiyans still maintained a fairly primitive hunter-gatherer lifestyle - only difference being that Saiyans typically lived in solitude or in very small groups (typically a mother with her children). There was little sense of community among the Saiyans.
— At some point, a few Saiyans among their kind transformed into their Oozaru forms for the first time upon the night of a full moon. They rampaged worldwide, but the Tuffles managed to protect their civilizations. They had no idea just what those beasts were, but never fully pieced it together that those were Saiyans. For every subsequent full moon, that occurred on the planet every 100 years, the Tuffles devised elaborate protection plans.
— At some point, some Tuffles actually welcomed Saiyans into their territories. However, some Saiyans thought it best to try and steal food or resources from them. They were usually repelled, and the Tuffles collectively lost their sense of hospitality. Tensions steadily built up between the two races.
— Over time, Saiyans grew physically stronger - likely because they had to rely on their own natural skills for survival due to their lack of technology - than the Tuffles with every passing generation. Trespassing worsened to literal invasion attempts, and the deaths of multiple Tuffles with every one. It became a widely accepted belief that Tuffles and Saiyans could and would never get along.
— The conflict peaked when one Saiyan, a female adult named Vegeta, managed to rally dozens of Saiyans together to try and take over the planet. To do so, she and her allies sought to wipe out the Tuffles. The Saiyans launched a coordinated attack, and because each individual's might was greater, the Tuffles struggled to fight back with their weaponry. The battle waged for days.
— Everything was decided when a full moon once again shined down. All of the Saiyans transformed, and the Tuffles had no hope of victory. By sunrise of the next day, the majority of the Tuffle population was decimated. Whoever was left, and discovered, was picked off.
— After this event, Vegeta fought for her right to rule over her kin, meeting challengers head on. As she was the only one left standing in the end of those bouts, it was accepted that she was the strongest Saiyan. She would hold absolute leadership over them and complete control of the world. She renamed it "Planet Vegeta".
— This is where the Saiyans started to become more involved with technology themselves, as they learned from what survived of the Tuffles' culture, and gradually built an advanced society. Vegeta became the first queen. However, the Saiyan's class system didn't come into effect until Vegeta had her first children as ruler sometime later.
— Her eldest child & son, Vegeta II, thought of himself and those of similar power levels so highly that he believed they deserved to be held in a more important regard than those weaker. When Vegeta I grew too old to hold her position as monarch, he followed a ritual of combating other Saiyans who also sought the throne. He was the sole survivor when it finished. The final step was to battle and kill his mother, giving her an honorable death while simultaneously proving his worth. He succeeded.
— King Vegeta II implemented new social divisions based on power. If a Saiyan was pitifully weak, they were now considered low class. If they were "average", they were middle class. Saiyans with excellent strength, he included, were first class or "elite". Treatment based on these guidelines resulted in the elites having first dibs on the best food and resources, while low class Saiyans were given scraps.
— During his reign, King Vegeta II oversaw the development of what became recognized as the Saiyan's scouters and attack pods. Scouters were merely updated from leftover schematics of the Tuffle's communicators, but attack pods were made with the purpose of being able to travel through space. The king saw a future of his kin sinking their fangs into other worlds, to conquer them and take what they deserved as the universe's mightiest race. He formed the first incarnation of the Saiyan Army, having soldiers be equipped with newly developed armor and tools they would need while out on the field.
Nursing capsules weren't invented until much later, when medical care overall evolved further. Saiyan children needed to be born to keep the race alive of course, but it was inconvenient for female Saiyans to stay on planet rearing their children instead of being active in the army. So, technology that would effectively keep a newborn alive independently of their mother was created. It soon turned to literal zygotes or fetuses being removed from the mother to grow in capsules.
A brilliant scientist invented the Power Ball technique, allowing Saiyans to transform without needing to rely on full moons. This in turn established a training regimen that would teach a Saiyan how to control their Oozaru state.
— King Vegeta II did away with the dominion ritual, and designated his first son - Vegeta III - as being his heir & next in line for the throne automatically. This solidified the naming tradition and its association with the royal family.
— Towards the end of Vegeta II's reign / In the beginning of Vegeta III's reign, the Cold family set their sights on their planet, thanks to the Saiyan's rising infamy through the cosmos. The Saiyan Army was forcibly integrated into the Cold Force / Planet Trade Organization (PTO).
That's about it I think. Pls excuse any grammar or spelling errors you may have saw.
