Eco - Bit of a revelation I've come up with. Basically it deals with the Persan and their, now left behind, hatred of the Xonexi and the Covenant. It was aggravated by Zuki, but not for the reason you might think.

You see under normal circumstances the Persan would have just opted out of the Covenant, refused to even speak to the Xonexi, and that would have been the end of it. However, Zuki and the Persan as general whole were not satisfied with the status quo, specifically them being wrapped up in binding military agreements. They HATED that.

Zuki however, saw a chance to undo all that with the formation of the Covenant and the Triumvirate. So the Persan joined the Triumvirate and went along with the revenge plan to put a rift between them and the Waps which would rend the Enlightenment Collaborative defunct. Zuki would then step down to a new leader who would take the Persan out of the Covenant and fully tear the rift open. Said leader would then step down and a new leader would emerge who would rebuild the Collaborative with the other members without binding military agreements. Thus to create a system in which the only thing that obligated the Persan to fight for anyone was their own sense of right and wrong.

Of course not everything went to plan. The Judicators, the Hand of Retribution, and the dissolving of the Praetorians(while Zuki intended to retire the Persan Praetorians the retirement of all of them mortified her) were not part of the plan. Also she didn't just do it for her own people, you see resentment of the Collaborative was beginning to build in Persan ranks and if left alone would have created a potentially irreparable rift. The best was she saw to get rid of the hatred was to make the Collaborative nostalgic, which would only work if it wasn't part of their lives. Also there was a bit about rooting out light corruption, Zuki could she that becoming a problem.
