Update to the HamilZim AU
History of New Irk:
Before the rebellion against the control brains started the Irkens colonized anther nearby planet as New Irk, building a smeetery there so the mighty Irken race could continue to expand. They even built an additional academy on the planet more specifically for education in military sciences and engineering than strictly a military academy.
Because they had a smeetery not directly under the influence of the control brains, the New Irkens began developing PAKs that were capable of independent thought and were not of the same network for the control brains to influence.
This was when the control brains started making it a lot harder for New Irkens to get their hands on materials and started taxing them for every little thing. - hence, making the new Irkens doubt the benevolence of their rulers.
The real turning point for the revolution was when the control brains started sending soldiers and invaders to monitor the New Irkens. These were highly trained security drones almost completely incapable of independent thought.
After an incident in the New Irken city Bo-Stan in which several drones open fired on a crowd of angry service workers (dubbed the Bo-Stan Slaughter - yes. Really), the colonists formed a counsel of representatives from accross the different colonies on the planet to decide what to do.
Defectives
Similar to canon IZ, defective Irkens are Irkens with PAKs from the control brains that don’t function properly. Usually this means that they are from Old Irk but often sympathies with the rebellion because they are capable of free thought. Zim and Dib are both defective Irkens, however Dib was brought to New Irk as a smeet and basically grew up as a New Irken at the New Irk academy.
Defectives are often considered dangerous from both sides of the war because they are wild cards. Their emotions are all over the place and they could be used as spies for either side. Their PAKs are from the control brains which makes them dangerous to New Irk if they are ever “fixed” but their ability to think freely makes them dangerous to the control brains if they side with New Irk.
There is a general consideration on New Irk that defectives should be used as drones and nothing else - meaning that Defectives have to try to blend in and work harder to get anywhere.
Invader Skoodge - though being a New Irk native - sympathizes with the defectives and thinks they should be utilized in the war. Skoodge dreams of forming a Battalion of defectives, utilizing their high emotionality and passion against the control brains.
