Raata Zaibatsu chronicles

(.___.)/
So for awhile now I've been focusing all my creative efforts towards building the world of the Raata Zaibatsu, the writing prompt of an alliance i've created. Starting off with the thread that harbors news stories on the IGS.

While I've admittedly have neglected updating the content of this thread, I've been making up for it in a side-thread that takes a more "1st person" perspective of the ongoing within the Zaibatsu from the viewpoints of various members of the cast I put together. So far I've managed to introduce eight different characters and i still have many more i want to see make appearances.
However, i've taken a practice i put to work back when i wrote short stories for the EVE:Valkyrie community, which is to enable readers to occasionally make a vote a impass in the story when characters are presented with a choice. These could range from plot relevant decisions, or switching between perspectives of characters encountered to see what they're thinking
The focus is the characters in these short-stories, there's been next to no action seen so far and has just been these characters interacting with one another though conversation. While there are Capsuleer characters involved, it's more focused on the grounded reality that baseliners have.
With posting about this on the backstage, i hope to get more readers interested in it. Hopefully so more people would be there to vote when a poll shows up and help direct the flow of the story so far. As well as maybe provide some feedback on it.

Currently, the entire thread has made it past 10k+ words. IF you have the time to check it out, I'd greatly appreciate it.
I'd also want to give a big thanks to Kalaratiri and Evi Polevhia for helping me with a vast majority of the editing in the chronicles thread. And Lasairiona Raske for help with editing most of the articles in the news thread mentioned before.

I've also been following the news thread, but even with reading it, I have to confess that I have no idea what the Raata Zaibatsu is. Maybe it's because I'm new and still wiki-walking.
Is there lore for it somewhere? I'm happy to read lore if I can find it.

If you look up the Raata Zaibatsu in game, you will find an Alliance description along with individual descriptions for each corporation it's made up of which describes its origins and function for the Zaibatsu.
Basically the Raata Zaibatsu is an independently funded organization that has one goal in mind, preserving the cultural traditions of the Raata Empire, the first big nation the Caldari people ever formed on Caldari Prime long before space flight was rediscovered. There's sadly very little lore on it aside from some blurps you can see here and there in some wiki pages, i hope to maybe change that with what I'm writting.
It's headed by a family known as the Yakens that CLAIMS to be one of the forty houses that made up the nobility of the Raata Empire. Despite claiming this, they don't concern themselves with inflating their egos and making sure everyone and their mother knows and respects this. Instead they focus on ensuring the survival of Raata culture by using their wealth to build their own societies that adhere to their laws and ideology. Doing this they also aim to modernize it to bring it up to date with the changing times, a Neo-Raata is you will.
Saying this however, they're not loyal to the Caldari State and choose to stand independently and do things on their terms. They of course share things in common with the State as they're cut from the same cloth, but with my writing i aim to establish some clear differnce with the two cultures. For example, where the State is about industrialism and materialism, the Zaibatsu is about pro-environmental intiatives and giving more importance to their spirituality - Which would be Wayism.

Despite being confused on what it's all about, i do thank you for following up on all the updates i put out
