Early History
Graal Bonkus was born on the planet Zion in 24,275 BBY. His father was a share-cropper and was killed after refusing to give refuge to a group of soldiers. Graal ran away shortly after the soldiers killed his mother and siblings. He took refuge in the forest for a long spell, living off of the animals and fruits of nearby farmers. As the years rolled on, the military dictatorship grew and grew. One day, Graal was resting at the local saloon when he met T'liek Notus, a traveling merchant. The two struck up a conversation and quickly became friends. When T'liek found out about the military dictatorship on Zion, he became angry. He told Graal that he should start a rebellion against the Zion military. Graal was weary at first, but eventually agreed. In 24,300 BBY Graal boarded T'lieks cruiser and, for the first time, left Zion. They took refuge to one of Zion's moons, Chane. Two years later, Graal and T'liek formed The Zion Alliance. They formed a small army and attempted to capture Hes Tar'k Narn, one of Zion's major cities. They failed and had to retreat. After the battle was over, Graal found T'liek laying on the ground, dead. This enraged Graal, and he formed a bigger, more powerful army. He set to making plans of building T'lieks Fortress, a space base twice the size of Chane. There he formed a peaceful society, becoming more and more like an independent faction.
