| “ | You say I’m arrogant, I say damn right. That’s pride. Pride in the Saiyan I am, the mighty prince of the ultimate warrior race! | „ |

| “ | You see, we Sayians are sorta like planet brokers. We scour space for planets that will bring a high price on the Galactic market. Once we find them, we send our warriors there to purge them of any life and make them ready for sale. Its a very very profitable business and we take great pride in being efficient in our work. For example, if we discover a planet with strong inhabitants, we send a team of our adult fighters to wipe them out. But for planets full of weaklings, like this one, one of our babies is generally sufficient to carry out the order. | „ |

The Saiyans are a major race in the Dragon Ball franchise.
They are a humanoid race with of warriors who worked as soldiers for the Galactic Frieza Army until Frieza, who feared them becoming more powerful than him, wiped them out by obliterating their homeworld Planet Vegeta. Before this, they gleefully worked for the tyrant (with some showing resentment for oppressing them); wiping out entire populations, so the organization could sell them to the highest bidder.
History[]
Originating from Planet Sadala, the Saiyans were an aggressive race who waged war with numerous planets. One of these planets was Planet Plant, which was populated by an alien race called the Tuffles. The Saiyans waged a ten-year long war with the Tuffle that eventually resulted in the complete genocide of the Tuffle species, allowing them to rename it "Planet Vegeta" in honor of their leader, King Vegeta, the Saiyans made it their new homeworld.
The Saiyans were later hired following this by a mysterious alien race called the Arcosians, who provided the Saiyans with advanced technology in exchange for them conquering planets for them.
At some point around this time, the Saiyans began working with the Galactic Frieza Army, who supplied them with advanced technology such as Battle Armor and Scouters in exchange for the Saiyans invading and conquering planets for them. However, Frieza began to take a closer notice of the Saiyans' immense power and feared that they might try to overthrow him. To prevent this possibility from occurring, Frieza had all of the Saiyans save for a select few gather onto Planet Vegeta and then blew it up with a giant Supernova Energy Ball. A single low-class Saiyan named Bardock discovered Frieza's plans and tried to stop him, but wound up being killed by the same Supernova that destroyed Planet Vegeta alongside any of Frieza's men caught in the crossfire.
Following this, only a select few Saiyans were left including Vegeta and Tarble, King Vegeta's two sons, Vegeta's henchman Nappa, Bardock's son Raditz and Bardock's other son Kakarot, who had been sent to Earth prior to Planet Vegeta being blown up and who would later be renamed "Goku", eventually become the legendary Super Saiyan who would later fight Frieza to avenge his race and all the other people slain by the heartless tyrant.
To keep the remaining Saiyans working for him (Vegeta, Nappa and Raditz) under his thumb, Frieza lied to them and stated that Planet Vegeta had been destroyed by a meteor colliding with it, though the three would have suspicions about this telling of events. Eventfully on Planet Namek, Vegeta found out the truth and decided to kill Frieza for not only destroying his planet, but for using him. However, after Vegeta's death at the hands of Frieza in his final form, Goku ended up defeating the tyrant after a long-fought battle.
Both Vegeta and Goku would later settle on Earth and marry human wives, with whom they would have several half-Saiyan children with, allowing the race to survive through half-human children. Eventfully, they later found out that Universe 6, also has Saiyans who are mostly more peaceful than their Universe Seven counterparts. According to Vegeta, Saiyans loves strong women (although Vegeta married to Bulma (who at the very least is strong-willed)).

- Due to the species as a whole being originally violent psychos, anyone who survived the Saiyans attack on their species swore revenge and ended up becoming the Villains and not the Tragic Heroes. Since they choose to attack Earth, home to peaceful Goku, reformed Vegeta and their halfling offspring; which is what Dr. Lychee and Baby end up doing.
