The Polish edition of Star Wars: Galactic Atlas from December 2016 includes an entry about the Empire of Zakuul, placing it in the far western part of the galaxy and within the Unknown Regions. The Zakuulan empire is considered a Star Wars Legends element, initially introduced in 2015 on swtor.com for the Knights of the Fallen Empire expansion of the BioWare video game Star Wars: The Old Republic. Emil Fortune, the author of Galactic Atlas, admitted that he was unsure of how Zakuul made its way into the Polish translation. Despite this, he confirmed that the world is not considered canon.
