Eme12 Forced This Upon Me, Part 1: The Siranians

Welcome to a new series called Eme12 Forced This Upon Me! In this series, I'll select a species from the Spore Revolution universe and share fun facts and unused concepts about them! This part focuses on the Siranian Empire.

A typical Siranian Female.

FUN FACTS

• The Siranians are based upon the Sirens from Greek mythology, and this is reflected in their basic appearance. Since Sirens are depicted either as bird with female heads or mermaids with seductive songs, I blended the two (wings and claws from the former and a mermaid-like tailfin from the latter).
• According to some lore in the SR-verse, the Siranians visited Earth millennia ago and had a hand in developing the concept of both mermaids and sirens (not sure where the bird thing came from; maybe another race?)
• Also, eme12 has mentioned he thinks of them moving "slithering somehow like those naga things". Seeing as how they look similar, could the Siranians have inspired these mythological beings too?
• Siranian ships have a common design lineage, with a rounded body and cockpit with two Star Trek-esque nacelles for propulsion. 
• One type of ship, the Harmonizer, broadcasts Siranian singing to any ships in range.
• Speaking of singing, the precise purpose of their singing is unknown, but is believed to be a form of mating call.
• Almost all main Siranian characters (the maligned Vordav sisters and Empress Mermaya Sireena) are female; with males being underrepresented with just one major male Siranian character at the moment of writing.
• One reason for this could be due to Siranian culture, which is a matriarchy where males have presumably little rights and rarely leave their territory.
• Siranians are the most human-like species in the SR universe. There is currently no explanation.

UNUSED CONCEPTS/IDEAS

• At some point, the Siranians would have been revealed to have constructed a colony on Earth that fell under the sea and giving rise to the legend of Atlantis. This still may be picked up though.
• The Suckulant species by fungus3 was originally not to be native to Siran Minor in another example of his wanton continuity ruining (that seems to have died down).
• Because of this; Siran Minor and Major were originally gonna look much different.
• Well, I unfortunately don't have all that many unused concepts for this species. Maybe next time, a species will come around that has many more unused ideas.
