	Vahzirhalrr Drrawa’jur was born to the Drrawa’jur, a powerful Hharar family which ruled over several of the Tajaran settlements on the planet. During the Hegemony rule of Gakal’zaal, the Drrwa’jur were prominent collaborators, being raised to position of minor nobility by the Overlord and growing wealthy from their connections to the guilds. Vahzirhalrr was roughly of an age with the Overlord’s son and heir Drokzsiz Yizarus, and the two were reportedly close friends during the Hegemony’s occupation. When the uprising came, several of the Drrwa’jur were executed by Makar Yizarus despite their loyalty to the Hegemony - and the survivors fared little better, with nearly the entire family being either killed or forced into Redemption Battalions for their collaboration.

	During the occupation, it was commonly gossiped that Vahzirhalrr had a secret lover - a ~~male secret lover~~. While ~~Tajaran society [[~~Tajara~~#Marriage_and_Relationships\|frowns on homosexuality]]~~, the Unathi masters of the planet did not share this sentiment, and few were willing to risk angering a personal friend of the Overlord’s son by accusing him of such things to his face. Both the Hegemony’s ~~approval of homosexuality~~ and the authority his family had found themselves wielding appealed to Vahzirhalrr, who reportedly became quite taken with learning about Unathi society and culture. After the uprising, and the establishment of the Huwaytat junta, evidence was found that Vahzirhalrr had carried on a clandestine relationship with Valeriy El-Regorova, a Tajaran worker with the Merchants’ Guild. El-Regorova was imprisoned as ~~a degenerate and~~ a Hegemony collaborator, and later drafted into a Redemption Battalion. His service there would be short, as he was killed during the clearing of a minefield in 2464.		During the occupation, it was commonly gossiped that Vahzirhalrr had a secret lover - a Zhan-Khazan. While the local Tajara frowned upon this, the Unathi masters of the planet did not share this sentiment, and few were willing to risk angering a personal friend of the Overlord’s son by accusing him of such things to his face. Both the Hegemony’s lax approach to the caste prejudice and the authority his family had found themselves wielding appealed to Vahzirhalrr, who reportedly became quite taken with learning about Unathi society and culture.

El-Regorova was imprisoned as a Hegemony collaborator and later drafted into a Redemption Battalion. His service there would be short, as he was killed during the clearing of a minefield in 2464.

	Of Vahzirhalrr himself, however, no trace could be found. He was suspected to have fled alongside Drokzsiz Yizarus, and perhaps aided in the Yizarus heir’s escape - but no trace of the last Drrawa’jur could be found. While the junta did not declare him dead, and wanted posters bearing his likeness could be seen across their territory, he was largely suspected to be another unidentified casualty of the uprising. This would change in 2465, when information was leaked about the existence of the Returnal Society, with sources indicating that Vahzirhlrr was not only alive, but had been acting as the Society’s spymaster for years. Since then, a large bounty has been placed on his head - second only to that placed on Drokzsiz Yizarus himself.		Of Vahzirhalrr himself, however, no trace could be found.

	The victory over Unathi rule did not satisfy all Tajara on Gakal’zaal. Some Tajara had come to appreciate the previous government for their own reasons. Whether it was a wish for a romanticized era of stability, anger towards the junta for personal or political reasons, personal wealth, or ~~even a dream to return to when one could express their gender and sexuality without legal repercussions~~, Tajara of the Returnal Society ~~plot~~ and ~~fight~~ to return Gakal’zaal ~~back~~ to Yizarus rule. Their reasons are many, which leads to an eclectic mix of Tajara working together as saboteurs, spies, or even fighters within the Yizarius Brigade itself. Those who work behind the scenes to support the Yizarius Brigade are organized into cells while those who fight alongside the Yizarius Brigade are put into their ~~own~~ squads.		The victory over Unathi rule did not satisfy all Tajara on Gakal’zaal. Some Tajara had come to appreciate the previous government for their own reasons. Whether it was a wish for a romanticized era of stability, anger towards the junta for personal or political reasons, personal wealth, or an administration free of Adhomian prejudices, Tajara of the Returnal Society plots and fights to return Gakal’zaal to Yizarus rule. Their reasons are many, which leads to an eclectic mix of Tajara working together as saboteurs, spies, or even fighters within the Yizarius Brigade itself. Those who work behind the scenes to support the Yizarius Brigade are organized into cells, while those who fight alongside the Yizarius Brigade are put into their squads.

	The cell-based loyalists are organized into different cells that specialize in a certain task. Drokzsis Yizarus retains a shadowy spymaster who is responsible for leading the different groupings. Those who focus on spying usually embed themselves in locales that junta-allied forces go to in order to gather and steal information. Disguises, secret identities, and good acting are used to trick fighters into giving up information that can be collected into useful intel by the Yizarus spymaster. Saboteurs utilize various explosives - usually repurposed Miners’ Guild equipment - to destroy infrastructure. These go in tandem with Yizarus Brigade attacks, such as destroying radio equipment before a raid in the area. Those who fight with the brigade itself tend to be scouts and are armed with long-range rifles gathered from Unathi and Tajaran sources, hand-made camouflage, and whatever other useful equipment is found.

	Gakal'zaal was first colonized in 2452 by Tajara refugees who could not enter [[Tau Ceti]] or the [[Sol Alliance]]. The population organized themselves into semi-autonomous settlements involved in agriculture and trade with nearby worlds. These settlements were divided along political lines, with an elected mayor or groups of families serving as leaders. Due to the similar weather to [[Adhomai]], Adhomai crops and livestock could thrive without a problem and soon replaced most of the native life. The planet was found by a band of pirates in 2455 and the locals were forced to pay protection money. Resistance among the local population soon followed but with limited success. This continued until 2457, when a new fleet of the Hegemony, commanded by [[Notable_Unathi#Lord_Admiral_Trazial_Yizarus,_Izharshan's_Bane\|Lord-Admiral Yizarus]], appeared and expelled the pirates. The planet was annexed by the Izweski Hegemony after a deal with some of the local leaders, who used this to increase their own power to become nobles of the new government. The most influential of these families were the Drrawa'jur, who had themselves conquered a handful of other settlements through force of arms prior to the arrival of the pirates. Makar Yizarus, the cousin of the famed Admiral, was appointed as its overlord. The nations of Adhomai were not interested in interfering in Gakal’zaal due to the ongoing struggles of the [[Tajaran_History#The_Second_Revolution_2\|Second Revolution]].

	The Unathi conquest was not well received by most of the population, civil unrest in the cities and armed resistance in the steppes continued against the new masters. The Hegemony was able to maintain control of the equatorial regions. While some Tajara became noble clans under the Hegemony they operated as glorified lower-level traders, interpreters, or civil servants under the new nobility. The Drrawa’jur were able to attain a higher rank in the [[Unathi_Guilds#Merchants_Guild\|Merchants’ Guild]] and be direct advisors to Makar Yizarus. Owing to Unathi being unaware of Tajara races, nobility was not restricted to solely the Njarir’akhran or M’sai. The Drrawa’jur themselves were Hharar. Society was reorganized in a feudal manner similar to the Hegemony, with the vast majority of non-noble Tajara being forced into serfdom. The economy was dominated by the Unathi nobility and guilds. [[~~Unathi_Religion#~~Sk'akh~~\|Sk’akh~~]] priests were sent to Gakal’zaal, and some tried their luck at converting the local Tajara - though with little success outside of the Tajaran nobility, who largely converted for political reasons.

	The Hegemony’s control over Gakal'zaal was seriously challenged in 2461 when the [[Tajaran_Military_Structures#Adhomai_Liberation_Army\|Adhomai Liberation Army]] supplied weapons, training, and thousands of fighters to the Tajaran resistance. The low-intensity insurgency turned into open warfare when an organization known as the Gakal'zaal Liberation Front emerged to lead the fight against the Overlord in 2462. Due to the [[Unathi_Recent_Events#Not'zar's_Civil_War_(2462)\|civil war]] on [[Moghes]] and the breakdown of relations between Not’zar and Overlord Yizarus, the Unathi forces on the planet were left to deal with the insurrection on their own. After a year of guerrilla warfare and sabotage by the Tajara population living under Hegemonic rule, the colony was liberated with the fall of Zikala in the final months of 2462.

	Most of the initial Unathi colonists were [[~~Unathi_Religion#~~Sk'akh~~\|Sk’akh~~]], with the former [[Notable_Unathi#Yizra_Unzi,_Exiled_High_Priest\|High Priest Unzi]] sending a contingent of priests and Iron Masks with the settlers to ensure the newfound colony’s spiritual well-being would not be led astray by the presence of alien religions. Their primary goal was not the conversion of Tajara - as Sk’akh doctrine holds that other species have their own gods and spirits for them, as Sk’akh is for Sinta.

	Sk’akh priests are permitted to continue their sermons and religious duties under the DPRA - though these sermons are often indiscreetly watched by informers to make sure that they are not concealing revolutionary plots. Despite Overlord Yizarus holding the theoretical power to do so, he never appointed an Archpriest during his reign over the colony, and with his position dissolved there will likely never be a formally recognised Archpriest of Gakal’zaal.
