The Gizureans were originally part of the Shakturi Axis during the initial invasion by the Shakturi. They were loyal allies to them until their demise at the hand of the Freedom Alliance. Like many of the other races they lost the ability to travel to other solar systems when the artificial disease arrived at their borders. When the Second Shakturi invasion force arrived they were targeted by the armada for their abandonment despite them staying loyal to them towards end of the first war.
