House Ziratae

"Those Zirátæs are probably some of the most cunning individuals I have even dealt with."

- Cad Bane

Clan Zirátæ was an early Taung and Mandalorian clan based on the Outer Rim planet of Acrolis. The family was started by the Taung warlord Teloris Zirátæ, one of Mandalore the First's most trusted military advisors. Several years after the relocation to the planet Mandalore from Coruscant, Teloris was separated from a Mandalorian convoy and stranded on the primitive planet of Acrolis. Teloris was worshiped as a god by the locals, who then "civilized" the Acroyali and turned them into a strong military power in their sector. Clan Zirátæ thus became based on Acrolis, and turned out numerous galactic figures, such as Baijor Zirátæ, a noted galactic travelor, and Drewika Zirátæ, the founder of the Acrolian Star Empire during the Clone Wars. The family became one of the galaxy's top five richest families during the latter's rule, behind the Dookus and Valorums.
