They managed to create a law that would protect the Zytoni against slavery with little success. They participated in the clone wars when both Zytis and Zyton were invaded and drove off the Seperatists. However, when the Empire came into power Zytis was invaded after a small attempt at rebellion. The Senator of Zytis joined the Rebellion after this.
