What HAPPENED to Czerka after KOTOR?

throughout both knights of the old republic one and two zerka are a considerable faction that has a major impact on a numerous amount of planets and storylines and regardless of whether or not you choose to go down the light or dark side they act as a constant thorn in your foot zerka is renowned for being one of the sleaziest and most nefarious companies within the knights of the old republic universe whose interests always end up being selfish for example in knights of the old republic one they managed to weasel their way past republic law to join in with the wookiee slave trade they also tried to have the tuscan raiders on tatooine butchered so that their business could flourish a little bit more smoothly and then of course when we move into knights of the old republic too they're trying to completely destabilize the theologian restoration project so that their profits would be a little bit more profitable zerka as a company was all about any means necessary in the name of making a buck and it was because of this that they attracted some of the most toxic and manipulative people to lead them but of course if you're watching this video then i assume you have played the game and we all know to some extent that zerka canonically in knights of the old republic failed at every attempt revan completely and utterly stops the wiki slave trade by helping the wookie uprising he then negotiates with the tuscan raiders on tatooine to ensure a kind of peace and then in knights of the old republic 2 we out their sly business practices to the telosian officials it always seems to end in failure for zerka so what exactly did this mean for them moving past the games did they continue to exploit multiple different planets or did they simply kind of lose their grip on the galaxy now when it comes to zerka we don't actually know too much about them historically we know that they existed before the events of knights of the old republic and that they had actually been historically renowned for being an extremely immoral group and they were actually founded as zerka mining and industrial so we can only assume that their initial purpose as a company was mining but over time they branched out and they began to see the possibility of expanding their business and so not only were they working on mining and industry they started to enter the weapons market and they started to provide food and commerce and much much more but like i said before zerka were all about money they didn't care about people or who they affected or who they worked with and in the build-up of the jedi civil war with revan sith empire and the republic zerka felt that the sith were the more profitable option so they actually agreed an exclusive trade deal with the empire and they began to supply the sith with weapons and armaments and food and whatever they needed to help continue their conquest and then they even set up shop in the dredged eye settlement on korriban so that they could directly help support the growth of the sith in the academy and additionally for zurka the good thing about joining up with the sith empire is that they tended to look over their shadowy practices despite their public appearance as a normal company that just wanted to provide goods to the galaxy zerka had so many nefarious plots and intents they were making bio weapons in secret they were experimenting on animals and gene splicing and they were doing terrible things so that they could get an edge on their competition and one of the worst things that they engaged in and that they even managed to find loopholes around in the legality system of the republic was actually the usage of slave labor and oftentimes they did this with the idea that they were providing a service which they actually called lifetime employment applications and contracts aka slavery but either way now let's talk about the events after knights of the old republic so circa were forced off of kashyyyk as we know and they were never able to go back to the planet or have any kind of hold over the wookies but they did continue their slavery practices in any way that they could get away with legally as for the drejday settlement it became worthless to them the threat of civil war between the sith on the planet was something that they weren't interested in so they eventually just left them to fend for themselves and because zirca were the ones who actually supplied the sith and korriban this only led to the further decline of those that were stuck on the planet as for tatooine they did actually stay there they brought in scientists and genetic experts who actually began to focus on do backs what they intended to do was take the original dewback and breed them into something stronger they wanted to essentially create war beasts so they stayed on tatooine breeding this new more aggressive version of a dewback and they were initially successful however the facility that they had built to create them eventually kind of went haywire and a herd of war backs let's call them escaped from their enclosures and they went on a devastating rampage through the facility killing almost everyone and destroying much of their equipment so circa decided you know what that's enough of that so they stopped their war back project and they left tatooine entirely and basically wrote it off as a failure with the sith empire gone zerka then tried to crawl their way into the pocket of the republic now despite initially being against them by working with the sith empire exclusively the republic actually kind of needed zerka's support zerka was ridiculously rich they had a monopoly on a variety of galactic commerce markets and the republic literally could not refuse their financial investments so zirca made a deal with the republic where in which they would supply them with investment and they would supply them with workers and money and all they wanted in return was resources and the right to any war materials left behind on telos from the jedi civil war they had also hoped that by getting into the republic's good books that the republic would hire them for any potential further restoration projects on other planets but as i mentioned earlier they were eventually outed to the officials of telos as working with the exchange to try and destabilize the athorian's work and so zerka was ordered to leave telos and it stood trial and they were accused of being guilty so they were forced off of telos entirely before the conclusion of knights of the old republic 2 even took place now from here on we don't actually hear much about zerka but to be fair we don't really hear much about anything and we get to the events of the great galactic war between the sith empire again and the republic zerka by this point in history had grown exponentially and it had become very well known for its military advancements and weapon advancements and it actually became one of the biggest entities in the galaxy not only did circa own entire star systems it employed billions of people and of course enslaved many too and it actually had a place within the republic senate despite only being a corporation zerka had a say in galactic politics their financial strength within the galactic community was something that almost everybody relied on and the war that was happening between the republic and the sith got to the point where literally neither faction could actually refuse zerka's financial investments and backing in almost every area and this level of power gave zerka so much leeway to do whatever the hell they wanted zerka was free to make trade deals with independent planets and they even funded the hot cartel to some extent and had a trade agreement with them if any of you guys have played hut's ball from the old republic they were a major sponsor of the event and they even supplied the huts with many of the death traps and weapons that we used in the game so things like acid pools explosive traps and flame vents some pretty diabolical stuff and they also continued their sly attempts at getting an edge over their opponents in the biochemical field and the genetic engineering field zerka built a research facility on duckson where in which they were experimenting with local wildlife to try and create controllable war beasts again but just like their original attempts on tatooine this kind of went wrong as the war beasts managed to break out and cause havoc they also returned to tatooine at some point and they built a secret facility which they named their secret weapons division seven and their intent was to study ancient technology that was found on the planet zerka learned that there was something on tatooine that they called the type 7 weapon which was capable of destroying entire planets and so they did everything they could to get their hands on it first what this type 7 weapon ended up being was actually a riccarton mined prison the exact same one that we find in knights of the old republic this discovery from zurka then leads to a whole planet quest line where the imprisoned one within the mind prison tries to infect people to take over the planet with nano machines it's pretty cool and it's all because of zerka's greed that this actually happened and then of course we have one of their more interesting business ventures they went down and that was the production of assassination droids the sith empire during the war had secretly ordered zerka to create hk assassin droids that were based on the original models and of course money is money so zerka did just that they created the hk-51 and they made a huge batch of them and they sent them to the sith luckily for the galaxy the majority of the hk-51s were destroyed when the ship was hijacked and it crashed on belcavis however things were eventually going to change as i mentioned circa were actually part of the republic senate and they had become a giant entity but the republic had actually discovered many of their plots and the republic eventually snapped after they discovered an extremely secret facility on a moon in the unknown regions that zerka were using to develop terrible things as per usual the republic decided that zirca were no longer a company and zerka were nationalized now they didn't like this so the leaders and the owners of zurka corporation disconnected from zerka and managed to bypass republic law again finding loopholes and they created a different company known as zerka interstellar and by law the republic couldn't do anything zerka interstellar was a completely separate entity from zerka it just happened to share the same name and so they started to continue exactly what they had been doing for the past hundreds of years the republic kind of eventually lost interest in zurka's nefarious ways and zerka interstellar eventually rebranded to zerka arms and after the events of the great galactic war they just kind of went back to normal they started to manufacture weapons and military assets to whoever would buy them and zerka continued to do this and they lasted all the way up until the events of the movies and of course they decided to sign an exclusivity deal with the galactic empire when the republic fell but even then they didn't actually uphold that exclusivity deal when they were selling their weapons to a variety of different people so over the course of three thousand years nothing had changed for zurga when the galactic empire fell they then tried to sign another exclusivity deal this time with the new republic and it was crazy to think that a company that had no loyalty and literally betrayed everyone at every turn managed to survive for that long but saying that i guess survival of the fittest kind of makes sense for these guys now although zerka didn't quite have the same level of monopoly that they did in the old republic era instead focusing more on weapons and manufacturing as i said by the time of the new republic and the end of the expanded universe zerka was still considered to be one of the biggest and most profitable weapons manufacturers in the galaxy so i guess for some being bad does kind of pay off i really enjoy making these kind of the fate of videos where i talk about the eventual fate of characters factions and species and whatnot from knights of the old republic one and two and if there's a specific thing within these games that you want to know the outcome of or the fate of let me know down in the comment section below because i might just make a video on it in the future as always if you enjoyed the video don't forget to hit the like button because it tells youtube that you had an absolutely smashing time and it helps me out a great deal and if you haven't perhaps consider subscribing to join the biggest growing knights of the old republic community on youtube i'll see you guys in the next video but until then may the force be with you always you
