"Zygerrians, you say? No stranger to them am I. Thrived on Outer Rim slave trade for centuries did the Zygerrian civilization. Moved from system to system, abducting primitive beings for profit—even into the systems of the Republic. When ordered to cease, resist did the Zygerrians. Crushed their empire of bondage did the Jedi."

―Yoda^[1]

The Zygerrian Slave Empire was a government of the Zygerrians that prospered as a slave-trading enterprise in the centuries leading up to the Clone Wars.

History[]

"Ruined were these slavers, but refuse they did to change their ways."

―Yoda^[1]

Zygerria sold slave labor throughout the galaxy for thousands of years before the Jedi Order destroyed the Empire in a conflict. The Zygerrian slaver Darts D'Nar felt great resentment towards the Jedi Knights for this act and longed to take revenge for his people.

Nevertheless, despite their empire being shattered, the Zygerrian trade continued in the form of the Zygerrian Slavers Guild. During the Clone Wars, the Zygerrians plotted with Count Dooku and the Confederacy of Independent Systems to bring back the Royal Slave Auction, a tradition of the old Empire. To this end, they kidnapped Togruta colonists from the planet Kiros.
