Zor'l was one of the ancient city-states on the planet Shri. It often feuded with other such states, like the ancient Crodin. Ganakos was a member of this tribe, and following the attack on the planet by The Great, which devastated several city-states and killed some of the Zor'l, including his daughter Zigori, he became one of the main advocates of a cooperative effort to stop the invaders. This effort lead to the creation of the Zor'L'Ti Cooperation Citadel. It is likely, judging by their name, they are also some of the forerunners of the Zorelta people.
