Continuity[]
- "to answer your question, the Atlas is supposed to be canon, 'Zakuul' isn't."
- ―Emil Fortune
The December 2016 Polish edition of Star Wars: Galactic Atlas includes an entry for the Empire of Zakuul, placing it in the far west of the galaxy and in the Unknown Regions. The Zakuulan empire is a Star Wars Legends subject that was first mentioned in 2015 on swtor.com for the expansion Knights of the Fallen Empire of the BioWare video game Star Wars: The Old Republic.[5] The author of Galactic Atlas, Emil Fortune, stated that he did not know why or how Zakuul crept into the Polish translation.[6] Nonetheless, he stated that the world was not canon.[4]
