    I see lots of people say that "Eternal" Empire lasted for only a few years.
    That's not true, it actually lasted for much more, they just weren't exposed to the rest of the galaxy. Also, its emperor did not seem to die or age that much. So it's completly reasonable for the Zakuulans to be certain about their "eternity". The Alliance was the first "reality check" that they encountered, if not for them they'd still be certain about their greatness.

      Well there is this constant up and down in technology in Star Wars. I guess it has something to do with more advanced Technologies needing a plethora of resources and knowledge to remain functional. While the Galaxy isn't under a central rule most of the time. Like the various Republics were more or less independet worlds, that worked together in galactic trade and such, while they had to abide to some basic rules to make things easier. But all of them had their very own governemt, more or less void of influence by the Republics. All the real great stuff only came to be under a united Galaxy, or at least a more dense union of multiple worlds.

Human history actually contains several instances of dramatic technological regression. Other examples include the Bronze Age collapse of the 1500s BC and the decline of the Ming (China is estimated to have had a GDP in 1400 AD equal to that of France in 1850 (or China in 1950).

    Close - you said that the twins commanded the army and while you are correct, you fail to mention one specific detail; only Thexan was supposed to command the army. The twins had petitioned Emperor Valkorion to let them test the strength of the other galactic powers (namely the Republic and the Sith Empire) and while the Emperor approved that venture, he ordered Arcann to stay on Zakuul. He deliberately disobeyed his father and went along with Thexan. As twins, they had done everything together and Arcann wasn't about to let his father get between him and his twin. They conquered many worlds together, eventually arriving on Korriban where Arcann was heavily injured in battle and received emergency cybernetic surgery on the battlefield, protected from enemy gunfire by the energy shields of several Knights. Arcann received a full cybernetic left arm and also wore a durasteel mask on the left side of his face to hide the scarring. He used his new cybernetics to kill the enemy commander, Darth Atroxa, the day after he received his cybernetics.

      Yeah, they were just wrong in their depiction. Zakuul's population was huge, and there were administrators with a large beaurocratic chain for every functionality on the planet. Despite this they were very efficient, but the beaurocracy was starting to become an issue.
      The biggest issue with the people of zakuul is that they had it too easy and were apathetic the what was happening in the rest of the galaxy. As you saw in kaliyo's chapter, they were so bored that their kids joined her in committing acts of sanctioned terrorism just to create some excitement.
      The parts that were too centralized would be the military, which consisted of skytroopers, the eternal fleet and the knights of zakuul. But it actually worked to benefit valkorion. The eternal empire easily conquered both the sith empire and the republic.

    My personal favorite among any Star wars factions, they built up so much small lore for them only to underuse them in the end.
    Also last news we know what happened to Zakuul is that after fall of monarchy and Knights of Zakuul they were absorbed into Alliance but seceded shortly after.
    They couldnt get diplomatic contacts to Empire or Republic and got heavily infiltrated by different gangs who landed on the planet and established footholds even in the elected government. So basically they went from Empire to a very corrupted Democracy mostly due to bad leadership.
    It is unknown if the devs of SWTOR plan on expanding upon this. I personally hope they will as currently it feels rather unfinished.

    • @edwinrosario3849
      @edwinrosario3849 Před 3 lety +1

      The Knights of Zakuul weren't entirely absorbed into the alliance, Senya convinced a contingent of them to join the Alliance but given what the Alliance just did to Zakuul, I doubt she was able to convince all that many. Many joined the Order of Zildrog but as a force on Zakuul, they still do exist but are leaderless so wouldn't be surprised if the Knights begin to enforce justice more insanely than before.
      And I love Zakuul myself but really hope they are finished messing with the world, they already made it make no sense whatsoever with the planet releasing its colonies which drove it into the resource crisis itself. Even then, it would still have the capabilities of building skytroopers, Eternal Flagships, Stealth Cruisers (gilded star was identified as one), and even the battlecruisers again to strengthen themselves. The planet has a lot of potential still to be a power house but the writers are not thinking, they want to move away from the KOTFE and KOTET because they were unpopular to many fans. So, let them forget about the planet, the exchange setting up shop is bad enough, next thing we know, they will be in full blown civil war annihilating themselves. As if they hadn't had enough of their society destroyed due to outlanders already.

      @normtherobot Před 3 lety +5

      I don't think there is an exact time or event for it. I think it was forbidden since the creation of the order, by the Jedi Code. But like in every order or system, there were people, who decided to go against the rules. So they did it in secret or/and with the disliking of the order. Since love is one of the strongest emotion, and the code doesn't ban emotions (even if it tried, it wouldn't succeed), there is little that the jedi can do about them, besides telling that it's wrong, to have such attachments.

She was ready to give up the Jedi when she realised she was pregnant, but in the end she broke up with Malcom because the war started to change him into something she didn't like and feared she may turn badly if anything were to happen to him or to their unborn child, then she hid her pregnancy, and gave her son up right after his birth to her former master for him to be raised as a Jedi.

    I've read a lot about the Eternal Empire as it fascinates me. It's quite a powerhouse of a faction, with warships so effective it subjugated the entire galaxy in only a few months. Breaking the two other most powerful factions with ease. One might think that it was a miracle the Iokath didn't become a force powerful enough to subjugate the galaxy themselves when they were around. Especially considering how many and how powerful weapons of war they made. But they were more interested in the development and testing of weapons than actual conquest, interestingly enough. Maybe if they didn't end up in a devastating civil-war, they could have subjugated the galaxy after all, who knows?
    Also, I wanted to mention something about your pronunciation of "Iokath". As with the planet Iego, some people may mistake lower case l for upper case I. But important to note is that the first letter of a name is always capital.
    Meaning it's not named Lokath as you say in this video, but in fact Iokath with an i.

    What happened following the conflict against the Eternal Empire was that it's military assets, such as the Eternal fleet, were integrated as apart of the Eternal Alliance Military along with the Ship known as the Gravestone.
    Because of this, the Eternal Alliance effectively went on to become the most powerful faction in the Galaxy at the time.
    Easily triumphant against the galactic super powers like the Sith Empire or Galactic Republic.
    However, following the Eternal Alliance's temporary dominance of the Galaxy, Economic depression and great strife effected the people of Zakuul after the dismantling of the Eternal Empire. This lead to the people of the planet being promptly disenfranchised, which began to inspire a growing movement of people who sought to subvert the Eternal Throne and the Alliance itself.
    The Leader of this movement was a former Highland Guard who served the Eternal Empire during Vaylen's rule as Empress.
    The Guard was named Vinn Atrius, who after the war against the Eternal Empire, became sensitive to the needs of the suffering Zakuulian's. Having blamed the Eternal Alliance for everything regarding the People of Zakuul suffering from the aftermath of the war, Vinn created the Order of Zildrogg.
    An organization that sought to destroy the alliance. After it was formed, the Order orchestrated numerous conflicts, uprisings, and attacks against the Alliance during its reign. They even went on to start a conflict between the Republic, Sith Empire, and Eternal Alliance on the planet of Iokath (not Lokath) which resulted in the 3rd Galactic war between the Republic and Sith.

      @a.b.s.anonymousbastardofso9459 Před 2 lety +1

      @Geetsly's What the Order hoped to gain from all of this was to activate a super weapon that was capable of destroying the Eternal Alliance and the Infinite Military Fleet it now possessed. The Super weapon was unironically called "Zildrogg" which was an ancient Dragon from Zakuul legend that was foretold to reign down the apocalypse.
      After tricking the Alliance Commander into Activating the 6 ancient machine gods revered in Zakuul legend.
      The Order immediately sought to activate Zildrogg. They managed to obtain a Star Map from the Chiss Ascendancy, which was stolen from Darth Vitiate years ago.
      Afterwards, Vinn Atrius and a GEMINI droid known as GEMINI 16 located the weapon on the Sith Temple of Nathema, a planet that Tenebrea had ruled over during the era of the Ancient Sith Empire.
      Upon entering the temple, GEMINI 16 activated Zildrogg, which turned out to be the Warship known as the Gravestone. A weapon that the Alliance had on standby in orbit of the planet Odessen, the location of the Eternal Alliance's base.
      After being tracked down by the Alliance Commander, GEMINI 16 had been destroyed and Vinn Atrius defeated.
      Although the Order of Zildrogg had failed to kill the Commander or destroy the Eternal Alliance, they succeeded in landing a crippling blow against them, as by the time Zildrogg was destroyed it had decimated the Eternal Fleet and upon its resulting destruction also ended up destroying the Gravestone in the process.

      Following the Order of Zildrogg's defeat and imprisonment, the Eternal Alliance was left in a severely weakened state. As a result of this, Zakuul succeeded from the Eternal Alliance becoming an Elective Republic and with the 3rd Galactic war starting up, many members of the Eternal Alliance began going back to the Galactic Republic and Sith Empire, with the Alliance itself being forced to align with either the Republic or Sith.
      Within the following years the Alliance gradually phased out of Galactic history, being assimilated with the 2 current Galactic Super Powers of the Galaxy once again.

    Hello, where does your intro sound effect come from? I have heard it before, but I can't really tell where.
    I mean the beeping sound we hear while "zooming in".

    In the game you always get to hear that you have to seize the ethernal throne so you can take full controle of the fleet. After your success you can't use that fleet for even once. Makes a lot of sense to me...

    Ngl, the eternal empire is really cool, I wish it stayed around as one of those powerful factions that would attack anyone if provoked but was just chilling there in space enjoying the fireworks of the clone wars and the galactic civil war

    In my head canon at least, the Old Republic universe is an alternative to the Disney universe, or the original EU. The creation of the Eternal Empire changes drastically the social and historical development of the whole Galaxy. But since the EU does not exist anymore and SWtOR isn't in the current canon, Bioware has free reign to do whatever they want. I don't think we're meant to believe that this universe is the same one that 3600 years later will evolve into the prequels.

      Just bc EU is not canon doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. It’s still part of the Star Wars Universe and lore.

      As an alterative i consider all the disney movies shitty fan fiction. EU and Legends are whats canon in my heart.

      @@theblueneko677 But even if you consider only the 6 Lucas' films, I think it's weird that the technology and general state of the Galaxy stays pretty much the same in almost 4000 years.
