Superkingdom - Archosaganizoa

=Kingdom - Mancerxia= (these would be among the hardest-hit kingdoms in an alternate Sagan 4, the End-Huggian coronal mass ejection completely exterminating the Florapodia clade and leaving behind only the Protomancerxia Thermaparasitica as the kingdom’s sole surviving representative. With almost all available animal niches filled by descendants of the Binucleudetritivorus Thornworm, Carpotesta Luceremundare, and the Lilstar - the base of a completely unique Sagani “animal kingdom” - the Ukfauna and Rotoradiazoa would never have a chance of evolving (taken up by the shellstars and various asterzalians), and all future descendants of the thermaparasitica would retreat into quieter, microbial niches, most notably becoming the most diverse lineage of pathogen on the planet, gorging on the cytosols of countless host cells and pumping them full of enzymes with their proboscis organelles. Recently however, an offshoot of the Grapplers - a clade of actively predatory alternate Mancerxians - has taken up a blight-like fungal niche, aptly referred to as Starblights) (Amusingly enough, one phylum of asterzoan would converge eerily close to the long-lost florapods, right down to the paired fronds and cloaca-mouth, although - perhaps save for the curious Pitfall Asterplent and its descendants - this form would be exclusively sessile in the adult stage, unlike the generally quite peripatetic plents.)

Anyway the people on there called themselves Homos or Homins (Hommen?) iirc. I think they look like shaven lemupuses with less eyes?? No tails though.) Suborder - Nodontia (Etymology of “no-” prefix unknown. Possibly related to “nobom”? But why are they called “nobom tooth”? Other noboms have teeth too! The worlds may never know.) Noboms But Toothier, Obviously. Nodent sounds weirdly like its some kind of obscure pun, but I can’t think what that would be. Maybe its a reference to the Lord of the Abyss, Nodens? But that doesn’t make much sense. That wouldn’t be the first time a Sagan 4 species has been named after an Elder God (or more accurately, it’s steed), but it still doesn’t make any contextual sense.

=Kingdom – Binucleozoa= Clade - Crystallizoa (In another Sagan 4, these would become the single most dominant large flora on the planet. The Binucleus Stella Dodecahedron and the Binucleus Stellaricrystal would also live on to give rise to further descendants. However, with the progression of the Generations, the crystal flora must now share their dominion as terrestrial Beta flora with the Photosagnians - a unique kingdom of alternate purple flora, and the Asterfolians - an early Asterzoan branch that joined with binucleusphotedo algae to give rise to a diverse clade of organisms defying traditional b====Order====s of “plant” and “animal”. The distinctive geometrical form of the Crystalflora, while actually evolutionarily inconveniencing for a number of reasons, has been quite successfully artificially selected for throughout the planet’s history.) Division - Coelomycites Clade - Saganivermes (in another timeline, the Saganivermes would consist almost exclusively of ecdyszoa-like fauna, such as the megafaunal Arthrotheria, and the moss-like Heliovermids. Instead, Saganivermes in this Sagan 4 would also give rise to mollusk- and chordate-like forms (as well as the arthropod- and annelid-like forms present in both timelines), while organisms like arthrotheres would never have evolved. Their closest equivalent may be some of the larger kruggs and lizardworms. The knightworms - a more basal clade from whence the arthrotheres derived - are mainly analogous to the Frabukis and Vermees of this timeline, being small, generalist exoskeletal worms. A closely-coverging taxon to the heliovermes has been derived from the wingworm lineage, but sadly these novel organisms are completely extinct. Early stem-conchosaganians lived a niche somewhat similar to the Hellworms of alternate Sagan 4.)

In fact, neither the core purple flora or the related krakowpedes would survive the End-Huggian coronal mass ejection, and only the Krakowhexia Symbiotae would be the sole surviving representative of both subkingdoms, eventually deriving a distinct lineage of tiny, photosynthetic sponge-like organisms.)

=Kingdom - Carpozoa= In another timeline, this kingdom would be among the only few notable “animal” lineages, but in Sagan 4 Alpha, Carpozoa is only among the largest of many independent lineages of fauna. All extant multicellular carpofauna in this timeline derive from the Carpotesta Luceremundare, as neither the versatile Lilstar, the fungus-like Carpotesta linkteneresca, or the various multitenerescan predator microbes evolved in this timeline. Coincidentally, the early voloxes and geletaventrians possess remarkable physiological convergences at a glance, save for only one pair of eyes, a mouth rimmed with tentacles, and gills closer to the mouth in the ancient Carpotesta Devoratori, whereas the Volox Luceremundare possesses three pairs of eyes and no oral tentacles.

Phylum - Saganispondyla
(Notably, this phylum contains only a few extant aquatic lineages. By comparison, the geletaventria - the phylum’s closest alternate counterpart - are quite diverse in marine ecosystems of all photic strata and have only recently forayed onto dry land, those being the Scarletshell Sandhopper and its descendants)

To enable the very high metabolism they have (given their trophic status), all iron fauna have a selection of symbiotic nanites to help them get the most out of their food material of choice, which is, understandably, a highly controversial choice among purists of the Sagan 4 team. On more than one occasion, a plague or other extinction event was proposed, and yet every time the number of votes for their survival ended up higher than the votes for their extinction - though this may partly be due to the fact that most proposals for their extinction were just as “suspense-breaking” as the organisms themselves! However, in the end, it seems that a compromise of sorts was reached, and through quite, selective process of superficially-justified pruning and outright blindeye-turning, they were harrowed down to a fraction of their former size. Today, only a relative few species of iron flora, as well as a number of highly diverse but fairly specialized genera of iron fauna, survive them.)

The Orbit Voltflora (the chemotrophic rocket-plant that sent life to the moon) was one of the most heavily bioengineered organisms in Sagani history, and its existence is very heavily criticized by many (especially by organicist factions), though due to the unofficial Anti-Retcon rule, as well as popular opinion that the end was worth the means, no one has ever gone back and “fixed” that. The habitability of the moon Mason itself was supported by advanced Clarke-Nergali Stabilization Anchors, which were eventually taken down after it was decided that disbelief had been suspended for too long, and all life on Mason went extinct by the beginning of the twenty-fifth epoch of Sagan 4’s history.)(Seemingly enough, none of the Queft species have developed photoreceptive sensory organs, despite having evolved in a biosphere that was conducive for eyesight. Although there have been documents recording that some individual Quefts had developed mutations for photoreceptive sight, all of the denoted organisms have been culled to prevent their mutations from perpetuating into their representative populations’ gene pools. Much of the blame for this can be attributed to the Purists of the council, who - as part of a compromise to sustain the select few populations of Orbit Voltflora required to seed the terraformed Mason - demanded extreme scrutiny over the evolution of the Masonian hitchhikers so that adaptations which paralleled that of Terranic biota would never be sustained, and among the offending anatomical innovations are eyes - sensory organs so fundamental to the fauna of most other worlds the Nauceans had observed.)

However, upon the advent of the “Snowball Sagan” event in the Alpha timeline, Ostracogenatans have soon been tailored to parallel many innovations of more established fauna - complex muscles and organ systems, more organized behaviors; and would eventually spread throughout much of Jujubee. The Purists who made up the bulk of the council at the time had somehow paid little attention to the experiments conducted to give rise to the then-new Rojiform fauna, partly due to the fact that most members were simply too busy dealing with the more egregious tamperings of the Radicals, being the large and elaborate polynucleate organisms of two independent kingdoms - the foi and the kelpoggles. As the Ostracogenatans are now, the ruling Alpha council has been treating them similarly to the Enterozoa and Konydonta - selectively pruning their branches so that they do not encroach too much on the niches of other Sagani fauna.)(Their closest Beta timeline equivalents would be the shellstars and the shevs, due to their mineral-reinforced shells.)
