Zathos was originally created in August of 1992 by a group of Christian reformists on Gentruse Island off the mainland of the Krilion Empire. Krilion Empires President Steven Shalment, would give the reformists the island after denying them any more rights within the Empire, so that they could not "Infect the Empire anymore." While Zathos strived in May of 2003 the reformists would soon ask for the island to be declared a Reserve and be allowed to elect a Protectorate and a Council, as well as create more towns and cities due to more Christians seeking refuge in Zathos.
