I'm half-human, and...I don't know much about my saiyan heritage, to be honest. Most of what I know, Mom told me, and she only found out because her best friend, and my Father, were saiyans. Even then, they didn't know Goku--that's her friend--was an alien until he was married and with a kid. That's when his brother came to Earth, to destroy it.
[There's a sigh, Trunks trying to remember what he did know.]
Saiyans were a warrior race, from a planet that had 10x Earth's base gravity. Most of their existence they were not-quite-slaves to a galactic warlord known as Frieza. He'd send them to a planet to wipe out the life, and then once it was depopuplated, Frieza'd sell the real-estate. But what doesn't kill a saiyan, if they have enough time to heal, will only make them stronger.
[There's a far-away look in his eyes, and he's clearly remembering both words told to him by others, and his own impressions from meeting the few others with his heritage he knew.]
Apparently though, Frieza feared that, and destroyed the planet Vegeta, so only off-world Saiyans survived. There weren't many of them though. Goku had been originally sent to Earth as a baby, to do the usual destroy-and-wipe-out thing, but a bonk to his head gave him amnesia. Mom met him when she was 16, and they went on adventures hunting for the Dragon Balls. He was like...10? I think?
Anyways, in his 20s, his brother shows up to find out what happened and why Earth was still running wild with humans. That's when everyone found out Goku hadn't just been a really strong human.
