Order of Zildrog campaign

After the destruction of the Eternal Empire, the Order of Zildrog and its leader Vinn Atrius initiated a campaign which was a series of strikes against the Eternal Alliance and its Commander in the aftermath of the war against Zakuul. Driven to avenge his people's suffering brought by the war, Atrius brought together various individuals and factions with different agenda who were united in their hatred of the Alliance. They started by funding small anti-Alliance uprisings and insurrections and eventually manipulated the Alliance. Learning about Zildrog, an ancient Iokath superweapon. Atrius was informed by GEMINI 16, a rogue unit who sought the total destruction of the Eternal Fleet, of its workings and whereabouts, giving the Order the means to bring the Alliance down.

One of the Alliance's original founders Theron Shan learned about the Order, but was unable to reveal his findings to the rest of Alliance leadership because of GEMINI 16's constant surveilance and decided to work against the Order ffrom the inside. Theron led the Alliance Commander and Lana Beniko into a trap on Iokath and later reveal himself as a traitor during the mission on Umbara. Faking his defection to the Order, Theron stalled them with false data while he chased Zildrog's location by infiltrating the Chiss House Inrokini on Copero to obtain the Sith Emperor's holomap leading to it. After the Order learned too much and found Zildrog on Nathema, Theron send an encrypted message to the Alliance, convincing them to attend a rendezvous where he revealed his true allegiance and motives.

Together with Lana Beniko and the Alliance Commander, Theron rushed to stop the Order from awakening Zildrog, but they were too late. Trapped in a force field, they could do nothing but watch as GEMINI 16 activated Zildrog's mind and revealed his primary form to be none other than the Gravestone. The Alliance's key asset in defeating the Eternal Empire of Zakuul was parked on Odessen, from where Zildrog proceeded to remotely use it to systematically destroy the entirety of the Eternal Fleet, which sat without orders in Odessen's orbit. After finishing the Eternal Fleet, Zildrog prepared to target Odessen itself, but the Alliance leadership used that opening to engage and destroy GEMINI 16, defeat Vinn Atrius and finally destroy Zildrog itself. Although the Order failed to achieve its primary goal, it nevertheless dealt a serious blow to the Alliance, depriving them of their most valuable military assets and causing many of its members to leave in the aftermath.
