Sarkin culture originally revolved around a caste structure as a holdover of this time,
Sarkins in later years almost always traveled in groups of three or more.
Lone Sarkins were usually outcasts from Sarkin culture, exiled for some offense committed on Sarka.
Sarkin's used a single name.
Typical Sarkin names included B-Nir, Demystic, Ralph, B-P-P-E-P-E-N-A-Nus, G-A-N-I-S. G-A-N-I-S. G-A-N-I-S. G-A-N-I-S.
It's unfortunately not an anus, though.
Siron, Sanus.
That sounds like a watching Game of Thrones over here.
Ty Bellar and Yuvala.
and the runt sepher off
Sarkins
valued the natural beauty of their
home world especially its dense
jungles and bejeweled mountains. I know some of this
is repeating because it's
Wikipedia. Yeah.
They got jewels.
We got it with the jewels.
Fucking amateur hour on this Wikipedia
dude. We're going to skip to history here.
When the Galactic Empire was in power,
the Sarkins reluctantly relaxed their protocol
requirements when dealing with humans
and while negotiating with corporations with
strong imperial connections.
Lord Vader, this greeting process
is going to take eight hours.
Well, it's like, oh, welcome
to Sarkin. Let us start the
dance. Whitesaber.
Okay, that's over. We're good.
The brilliant thing about Darth Vader is with that
helmet man, he could just go to sleep.
He's just sleeping
and watching the dance. And what of you,
Lord Vader? What about your sexual
conquests? No,
no, it's great.
He's fallen asleep.
This changed after the Sarkins learned of Palpatine's death,
refusing to...
Your sad devotion to that ancient religion
hasn't helped you at the rebel base,
or there's still a...
Could someone wake him up, please?
I'm all the way down at the other end of the table.
I do it myself, but I can't reach him.
He has a TV in there.
Dude, that would be awesome.
You just live it inside your own little clubhouse.
Is he watching Happy Days?
I'm sorry, I can chat.
Oh, did you see the jukebox gag?
Or he just hits it and it turns on a song.
After Palpatine's death, they reverted to their old ways.
In one instance, they surprised a representative from Sorosub by demanding a formal greeting
and cut off trade relations with Sorosub for several years,
the demands were not met.
Yep, you got the Sarkans.
Meeting with George Soros, son.
It is actually spelled exactly like Soros,
but with a U-U-B after him.
Turn to frickin' carillion's gay.
After the fall of the Galactic Empire,
the wealthy Sarkins became one of the most powerful factions
in the New Republic.
During the Thron campaign,
now these guys are
the throne trilogy was written before
this ain't canon
well the throne trilogy is no longer canon
yeah but flush it
don't you dare
but don't you flush that toilet
as an expansion for
the roll home
Thank you.
