The Saritans are a race of beings native to the planet of Sarita, which was located near the planet of Tollan. The Saritans first interacted with the Tollan when they had reached the equivalent to Earth's technological development in the late 1990s. Whether they were in need of a power source, or their neighbors were eager to trade, the Tollan gave them a device to produce unlimited energy. Instead of using this technology to help themselves, the Saritans used it to create destructive weapons and waged war on their planet.
