Once you start playing the 5.10 story line, it is made abundantly clear you are following orders given to you by one faction or another. Given that the Alliance Remant has no hope of rebuilding the Eternal Fleet, has no way of replenishing the Army ranks, and pose no threat whatsoever to either the Empire or the Republic, this is what lead to the necessity to ally with one or the other. "Following the Order of Zildrog's campaign against the Alliance and the destruction of the Eternal Fleet at the hands of the superweapon Zildrog, many personnel returned to their original factions." It has been further stated that most of the soldiers that fought in the Alliance returned to their home factions after the defeat of the Eternal Empire and the destruction of the Eternal Fleet As a result, the Zakuulans’ only support has ultimately come from a small consortium of corporate interests it is my personal suspicion that many of these corporations are actually fronts for the Exchange criminal organization, though our agents’ investigations are still ongoing."

Few worlds have been eager to trade away more of their resources to the planet that demanded those same resources at the point of a knife so recently. Without their former support systems, Zakuul’s new government has attempted to establish diplomatic and economic ties with the Core Worlds understandably, this has not been very successful. No one questioned the source of their Eternal Emperor’s bounty they merely celebrated the apparent generosity with which he shared it. The comforts and advancements of their daily lives were supported entirely by vast, automated systems-like the Eternal Fleet-plundering a constant wealth of resources from countless unheard-of worlds across Wild Space, with none of their people any the wiser.

The degree to which Zakuulan society relied on Valkorion and the Eternal Throne becomes more apparent day by day "Independence from the fallen ruling family has done little to improve Zakuul’s prospects. They've declared themselves totally independent and formed their own separate government. The current state of Zakuul was described in the 5.10 State Of the Galaxy address. Upon activation, Zildrog seized control of the Eternal Alliance's flagship and employed its Omnicannon to utterly annihilate the Eternal Fleet in orbit above Odessen, bringing an end to one of the greatest armadas the Galaxy had ever seen."Įven if you could rebuild it, find the lost race who built in the first place and got sentient driods to man them it still wouldn't matter because they only way you could control the Eternal Fleet was by the Eternal Throne which was totally destroyed and you can even go see it destroyed in game from the portal on Oddesson that leads to to it. "The Dragon God of Zakuul was an advanced AI in much a similar vein to the Zakuulan pantheon which turned out to be constructs fabricated by the builders of Iokath, except Zildrog's body as it were was the Gravestone itself. "The Destruction of the Eternal Fleet" is described in greater detail here as well. The ships of the Eternal Fleet couldn't be operated by anything other than the sentient driods] You can't rebuild it and because "The Eternal Fleet was built many centuries ago before the time of Valkorion by an unknown race on the planet of Iokath." and they're all gone.Įven if you could rebuild it it wouldn't matter because they were manned by sentient driods. "As a result of the Commander's Mission to Nathema the Alliance Navy's strength dropped significantly following the destruction of the Eternal Fleet and the Gravestone, lowering the overall military might of the alliance." Lana Beniko Opening scene of 5.10 Storyline. "We is not strong enough to face the Republic or the Empire.If the Alliance is to survive, we must align ourselves with either the Republic or the Empire."

You cannot survive on your own, either faction would totally destroy you on your own. You're already a vassal state as of 5.10.
