Name: Zygerrian Slave Empire
History: The Zygerrian knew before they even left for the stars that they were important and the first species they met among the stars did nothing to alter there believe for only one thing matters, power. Those with the power have the right to rule over those without power. In fact, they now knew they were superior to all, others where little more than intelligent beasts no better than a Brezak and just how the Brazak served them so should the others.
And from this was born the empire of slavery. Though even before reaching the stars the Zygerrian people where highly cast based. With a Royal family ruling over different casts. much of this system remains with the new lowest cast being the slaves. With the Empire spreading the Zygerrian's established contacted with other species who had a similar level of technology and acceptance towards slavery. A commodity the Zygerrian's where more than happy to provide.
Growing rich with the sale of slaves to others and the use of slavery among them self Zygerrian became a slave empire. The sole purpose being the capture, breeding, sale and use of slaves. And like all empires, Zygerrian Slave Empire expanded. Though not with one unified grand army but instead many smaller slaver war band united under one royal family but free to expand as they wished. They are now a scourge on less defend planets where Zygerrian fleets will depopulate entire worlds. Selling those they did not keep and using the rest to fuel their expansion in a cycle that needed conquest to stay afloat.
During the 100 years of darkness, the Zygerrian Slave empire was able to grow rich supplying slaves for the slave army of the exile. Though the Zygerrian doesn't see the need for slaves soldiers in their own armies that is simply because they have never had the need and selling slave solders is a good way to make money. With the war at an end and the republic in economic decline and no unified military or Jedi threat, the Zygerrian started to raid the outer edge of the Republic
After the Rise of the Sith Empire at first, the Zygerrian suffered under strict anti-slavery laws but this only last one ruler. Though it was a black spot on their growth that ended in a civil war that ravaged the Zygerrian empire. But from this, a new stronger unified Zygerrian empire was born. One that was able to sway the new leaders of the sith empire to not only allow but embrace the products of the Zygerrian Empire
Though only a puppet of the Sith empire Zygeria prospered as they became the empires primary source of slaves. The fact that they had to pay tribute to the sith leadership meant nothing compared to the money the slave trade was made for them. Now firmly entreched in the Old Empire they provide them with slaves but are more than willing to switch sides if the war starts going bad for those that follow the rule of strong

Culture: The Zygerrian cast is complicated but broadly it starts with the Royals. Though not every royal stands a chance to rise to sit on the throne people in this cast hold high office as an administrator, generals, minsters, CEOs and other positions of power such warlords. Bellow them are the aristocrats who work most well paid jobs as either officers, mangers and other management rolls then come to the land owners people of low level but still able to reap the benefits of the empire. Serving in the rank and file jobs slaves could not be trusted with likes solders, shop owners, pilots. At the bottom where the land less Zygerrian above slave in name but in truth they lived a pitiful live, any job they could do else where was taken by slaves. they formed gangs to survive making the slums of Zygerrian worlds a dangerous place for all.
Zygerrian tradition are all so long and complected and include things such trial by combat where unlike many other cultures champions where not used. For in Zygerrian power was law. Sports and games where all so popular with these sports being physical in nature.
Zygerrian see a lot of value in art and wealthy Zygerrian will live in lavish and houses with a lot art from both of Zygerrian origin and alien. Even those of lower class will try to maintain some artistic style. This is often seen in there cloths and even there ships. Zygerrians will all so keep pets that look beautiful though the see no difference between a pet and a slave and many slaves are kept purely for there looks.
Zygerrian like to see them self's as very learned and sophisticated. Though there science when it concerns is very warped and they little need to study the weak that they usually prey on. How ever they are not ignorant or stupid and put a lot of effort in to there work.
Ground forces are mostly light infantry deployed from aircraft though a number of mechanized units are used for harder targets and defense. In Addison there are a few elite forces are used notably the royal guard and Brazak riders
Solders come from all casts and though it is a voluntary force there is no shortage new recruits. Equipment is supplied by zygerrian factories
Developments: The current King, King Draxnar the VI rules with a iron fist. With the sith civil war, he hopes to stay out of any direct conflict and instead focuses on ensure his empire is able to prosper and grow during this time of new conflict,
Assets:
A fairly large empire in terms of money most large scale holding are located in galactic grid S4 on 2 planets, the capital Zygerria and the factory world of Kadavo with the slave market on Zygerria where slaves are bought and sold. Though warbands may set up smaller temporary bases on or near worlds they are raiding. Most of the time they operate from there ships
In terms of industry Zygerrian slave empire as a large number of slave-run factories and mines allowing them to make a lot of goods cheaply though the sale of slaves them self'sis there main source of income
Intent: The zygerrian saw use last Time line and i would like to bring them back for the same purpose. It is a non imperial force that the Galactic alliance can fight and a faction that can ally them self's with the sith
