Zygerria is a picturesque world with fortress-capped mesas that extend above windswept plains. Graceful brezak creatures catch the wind currents and soar effortlessly from butte to butte. The beauty of the planet hides the fact that Zygerria's cities were all built upon the backs of slaves. For thousands of years, Zygerria supplied slave labor the the galaxy; the Zygerrian Slave Empire became wealthy and powerful, as did those who exploited their chained subjects. After the Jedi Knights cracked down on the slave trade, Zygerria diminished. Its old fortresses and slave markets are still impressive edifices, though their luster has faded from time. Some Zygerrians are actively plotting a return to the old ways, and are finding eager allies in the Clone Wars.
The Zygerrians are a proud people who believe the dominance of the weak is part of the natural order of the galaxy. They deeply resent the actions of the Jedi of old, and long to rebuild their former glory.
Like Zygerria itself, Queen Miraj Scintel possesses an outward beauty that conceals a darkness within. She shrewdly allied herself and her world to the Separatists to rebuild the Zygerrian Slave Empire. She is independent-minded, and tries to think of herself as more than just one of Count Dooku's lackeys.
Atai Molec is the Prime Minister of Zygerria. Strong-willed and patriotic, he is nonetheless overshadowed by the pageantry of the Queen. He secretly harbors doubts about her complex machinations.
Brezaks are flying lizards used as mounts by the Zygerrians. The creatures soar on the wind currents, catching the gusts in the large, fan-like skin flaps extending between their limbs.
During the Clone Wars, Anakin Skywalker embarked on an undercover mission to Zygerria to find a missing colony of Togruta, and determine the extent of the Zygerrian plot.
