King Kakarac IV

King Kakarac IV (298 - 238 Before Age) was King of the Saiyans, the last before Planet Saiya was destroyed by the Original Super Saiyan taking most of the Saiyan race with it, ending the long enriched era of monarchy. He succeeded King Kakarac III and reigned for 10 years, achieving very little due to tensions in political gridlock and frustrations.

History
With his father's death, Planet Saiya was in chaos with the collapse of its economic system, assassinations throughout the royal hierarchy, and violent rebellions, which was all passed down to Kakarac IV, who struggled to deal with it all. Strength wise, Kakarac was very weak and relied on bodyguards at all times to protect him. This along with other factors made him out to be a coward by his own people. All of Kakarac's attempts to calm the situation only made it worse. During a royal march through the city, the King was attacked by a group of rebels and severely injured, his bodyguards being killed. Now blinded, the King expressed doubts his young son Kakarac V (252-238 BA) would inherit the throne. Due to the problems, a royal interregnum occurred for 3 years where the high council ruled Planet Saiya.

Upon returning to the throne in 238 BA, Saiyans were displeased Kakarac had not been replaced or executed. Mass riots broke out and cities were scorched. One day, suddenly a massive golden Great Ape appeared and quickly began causing mass destruction. The attention immediately turned to it as Saiyans fought the beast, though he was far beyond their power, quickly launching blasts that leveled the entire royal city. It is unknown where Kakarac was in this event, but within minutes, the Super Saiyan could not contain their power and exploded, taking the entire Planet Saiya with it and destroying millions of years of history--thus ending the monarchy.

Some Saiyans did manage to escape using the ships the Neolaths had left centuries prior, which they finally figured out how to use. However due to their expressed doubts with the monarchy and now survivalist lifestyle, they abandoned the idea of continuing it as they resorted back to their roots as a brutish, power-hungry warrior race trying to survive and find a new planet to live on--eventually reaching Planet Plant.
