History
The Zanscarians, before coming to the galactic stage were mostly farmers. Their planet wasnt that majorly developed as there were only a few major cities with towns doting around them. They were only in the beginning process of maintaining a permanent science station in orbit when news of aliens arrived at their doorstep. This age of wonder was quick as the aliens, The Breen, invaded their world. Compared to the other two species conquered by the kingdom, it took three separate invasions to take their world. By 2223 the Zanscarians surrendered.

After this surrender, the Zanscarians had to endure over 30 years of slavery. They were forced to destroy their once verdant world and convert it into a large mining and industrial complex. They were then made to serve to Breen nobility as domestic servant. Zanscar however would remain a serious hotbed of rebel activity. The ZLA, or Zanscar Liberation Army kept many of the Kingdom’s forces on their toe, with bombs, kidnapping, hit and run attacks and freeing political leaders and slaves. Led by Mom Notha, the guerilla force made Breen living there fear for their lives. When the civil war broke out, the attacks gotten bolder and more frequent until they forced the Breen forces off world. They then joined the DJF and defeated their longtime oppressers in the Battle of Veraht. Around 2260 the ZLA announced their independence from the DUS along with the Veraht Resistance and the Tochuni Free Warriors. Mom Notha would then go on to first accept the invitation to form the Union of Planets.
