The Traders of Saban are a serpentine faction from Saban, a desert world baked from both sides by its suns Scorch and Boil. The Sabanese people had fought for generations over the scarce water found only in the seven oases, Mirror, Glimmer, Fresh, Blue, Refresh, Life, and Salvation.
Then, in the year 2061, a drought unlike any other swept across Saban, threatening to take away the only water left. People fought ever harder for what little water remained, but it soon became clear that no one would survive the drought. The fighting gave way to resignation. Then, in a last ditch effort to save their people, the Sabanese looked to the stars.
In 2064, the Sabanese people began work on desperate project known as Project Teardrop trying to reach out into space for any source of water they could find.
In the year 2065, with the last of the water reserves in Mirror Oasis, the largest oasis on Saban, Project Teardrop had been completed. A volunteer by the name of Sebastian with a small crew launched from Saban in a small craft called Teardrop desperately hoping to find a source of water somewhere nearby. They found Ocreos.

The Aqualost Council allowed Sebastian to collect enough water from Ocreos to last the Sabanese people until the drought ends.
After their first friendly encounter in space, Sabanese people set off once more with the intent of trading with the other factions of the Cosmos, becoming the Traders of Saban
