*Today - Saryamon is a young but beautiful planet that is home to the Saryamonian civilization. The characteristics of the planet are very similar to Earth. Saryamon has several continents and a global ocean. There is more oxygen in the atmosphere than nitrogen. The planet's climate is similar to Earth's, including in temperature. The planet's topography is different. Mountain ranges are common. There are no active volcanoes, and the highest mountains don't reach a height higher than 8-9 kilometers. Overall, Saryamon is a wonderful blue planet.
==Biosphere==
Saryamon is home to countless species. The planet's biosphere is very diverse and similar to Earth's biosphere. The evolution of life began more quickly than on Earth, resulting in the presence of mammals on this planet, despite Saryamon being 280 million years younger than Earth. Terrestrial life on Saryamon is diverse, with mammals being the most dominant group and arthropods being the most prosperous and abundant phylum. Mammals on Saryamon bear a resemblance to Earth animals, particularly rodents. Marine mammals are scarce as this category of mammals is in an early stage of development. The planet's insects are plentiful and diverse, sometimes larger than Earth's insects. Saryamon's reptiles are not limited to small lizards; there are several species of large reptiles that vaguely resemble dinosaurs. Flying vertebrates resembling birds are common. The terrestrial flora, predominantly green, consists of various plants, trees, and shrubs. Ferns and tropical trees flourish near the equator, while temperate forests are found in the planet's northern and southern regions. Marine life on Saryamon is diverse, with marine fauna displaying significant agility. Coral reefs adorn the equatorial region, attracting a wide array of colorful and differently sized fish. Deep-sea habitats are sparsely populated. The marine flora, characterized by vibrant colors, features a wide range of species from simple algae to intricately structured underwater 'trees'.
==The Saryamonians==
The Saryamonians are an unusual and advanced civilization that has evolved to live harmoniously both in water and on land. They currently have interstellar travel capabilities and are part of a federation with other species. Initially appearing as a primitive species of sailors and coastal inhabitants, they were able to develop into a fully developed civilization with large semi-aquatic arcology cities. Nearly all Saryamonians reside on their home planet, with only a very small percentage living in colonies, despite possessing a spirit of adventure and seafaring in their character. This is due to the difficulty Saryamonians face in adapting to conditions different from their native environment. Their culture is unique and fascinating, and their history is rich with discoveries and journeys. Despite the prevailing harmony in their world, we believe that the Saryamonians are fairly vulnerable to various external threats due to their peaceful nature and the absence of wars in their history. In case of any danger, they can only rely on other races within the federation. Their peaceful disposition may work against them, as was demonstrated in the case of Ajalani.
===Biology===
The Saryamonians evolved from mammalian ancestors who gradually returned from the land to the ocean. We could say that they have almost become marine mammals, but they are still inextricably linked to the land. Therefore, almost all Saryamonian settlements are located near the coast or partially submerged in water. They are quite vulnerable to climate change and are not adapted to live in the central regions of continents or in deserts/highlands, making space colonization very difficult for them. The Saryamonians possess an interesting blend of physical and intellectual attributes that make them perfectly suited for their aquatic lifestyle. They are challenging to classify, but we can assume they are semi-marine mammals. Their bodies are sleek and streamlined, adapted for efficient movement through the water. Due to gravity being almost identical to Earth's, Saryamonians have a height almost identical to that of a human, only slightly shorter. Saryamonians have a humanoid physique with some distinct differences. Their head structure resembles a combination of a shark and a dolphin. They have gills located on their necks, enabling them to extract oxygen from the water. Saryamonians are sexually dimorphic, with males having gray skin and females having white and orange skin. Saryamonians are omnivores; they primarily feed on algae, small crustaceans, and fish. They have a long tail/fin that helps them swim faster in the water. Their psyche and minds are almost the same as those of humans, except that they are more peaceful, lack division into nations, and seem to be more emotional. Saryamonians are welcoming and friendly towards strangers.
===Saryamonian History===
Despite the fact that the Saryamonians are a very advanced species, it is still unknown on which continent their ancestors appeared because fossils have been found on completely different parts of the world. However, apparently, the Saryamonians evolved straightforwardly without any branches of their species. This is in contrast to the early history of humanity, where, in addition to modern humans (Homo Sapiens), there were at least two other intelligent species (Neanderthals and Denisovans), unlike the Saryamonians who did not have other competitors. About 2.48 million years ago, the first modern Saryamonians appeared. For several tens of thousands of years, the Saryamonians traveled from one continent to another, building cities and discovering new territories. Strangely, they never had divisions into nations, languages, or countries; they always considered themselves to be a unified whole. This unity may be attributed to their very fast navigation and global connections since ancient times, as well as the fact that the Saryamonians do not have external differences depending on the place. Therefore, there are no wars or genocides in the history of their species at all. About 2.37 million years ago, they built the first small colony outside their world on the cold planet Maopio. The significant difference in dates (90,000 years) is due to the fact that the Saryamonians did not develop too quickly, as they did not have a pressing need for it. This is likely also due to the fact that industrialization was not very common in their world. However, the first colony on another planet marked a new milestone in the history of their species. Approximately 1.95 million years ago, the Saryamonians received a signal from Sorraddonian civilization from the planet Sorraddon, located 11 thousand light years from Saryamon. The Saryamonians later joined the federation and, with the help of other species, achieved interstellar travel. These days, the Saryamonians live peacefully on their home planet in advanced ecological cities. They are more interested in exploring the Universe than expanding their species
===Culture===
The peaceful nature of the Saryamonians is deeply rooted in their culture and social structure. Their governance is based on a council system where representatives from different communities come together to make decisions for the common good. These councils prioritize diplomacy, cooperation, and sustainable practices. However, they often elect the head of responsible missions or other positions through elections, usually choosing a young and promising representative of their species. Saryamonian culture encompasses numerous holidays and events. The most significant holiday is Diagari - the festival of the tranquil ocean, celebrated annually to embody peace, tranquility, and harmony. During this celebration, it is customary to exchange beautiful gifts and engage in ceremonies reminiscent of meditation. In their culture, traditional sports are not widely popular but are highly regarded. For example, their most favored sport involves speed swimming in a fast-flowing river with obstacles. Additionally, symbols of the ocean and water are prevalent in Saryamonian culture.
===Religion===
Apparently, they have only one religion that is challenging to describe. Saryamonians possess a profound spiritual bond with the ocean, viewing it as a source of life, wisdom, love, and inspiration. They conduct elaborate ceremonies and rituals to pay homage to the sea, expressing gratitude for its abundance and seeking insight from its depths. Believing in the interconnectedness of all living beings, they actively engage in initiatives to restore and safeguard damaged ecosystems, ensuring the ocean's longevity and the well-being of its inhabitants. It appears that the Saryamonians consider the ocean to be a deity and venerate it. While not all Saryamonians hold this belief, the majority regard it as an essential aspect of their culture, thus preserving the traditions and customs of ocean worship. Their religious temples differ significantly from those of humans and resemble vast sanctuaries for meditation and tranquility. These temples are akin to immense transparent domes underwater, abundant with vegetation. Saryamonians can visit these temples at any time and in any attire.
===Infrastructure & Architecture===
Saryamonian architecture and infrastructure are very different from human ones. Their cities are located on the shores and half in the water. Unlike human cities, Saryamonian cities are not very large. When viewed from space, their cities appear blue in color. The buildings are not overly tall and have swirling, rounded shapes, mostly in white and blue tones. Arcologies are the main structures, displaying various shapes and high environmental friendliness. Their cities look quite unusual, with most of them covered in plants, including aquatic species. Despite the fact that Saryamonian cities are not very practical in terms of industry and residential area, this does not hinder their inhabitants from living happily. There are almost no factories on the planet; all industrial facilities have been relocated to orbit or outer space to prevent environmental pollution.
===Technology & Space exploration===
Their technological advancement has allowed their civilization to thrive harmoniously for millions of years, disregarding potential external threats in the future. Some of their technologies are intriguing to implement, although they may not be novel to us. They appear to have made significant advances in ocean exploration even before venturing into space. Furthermore, they have modernized analog computers with interesting innovations by integrating them with digital computers. The Saryamonians commenced their space exploration around 2.35 million years ago. Approximately 2.32 million years ago, they established their first colony on another planet. Subsequently, after 370,000 years, the Saryamonians will receive a signal from another intelligent species.
===First contact===
Approximately 1.95 million years ago, the Saryamonians intercepted a signal that would go on to be one of the most significant events in their species' history, if not the most momentous. The signal they received was transmitted by the Sorraddonians from their home planet. The Saryamonians had long harbored an interest in the potential existence of other intelligent species and were elated to discover that they were not alone in the universe. Subsequently, they joined a federation comprising diverse civilizations, including the Sorraddonians situated in the same galactic arm. This alliance enabled them to advance in interstellar travel with the assistance of other species and embark on the gradual colonization of neighboring star systems, a process that continues to the present day.
