Zaranite

In an article appearing in the January 2002 edition of Star Trek: The Magazine (Volume 2, Issue 9), entitled "Who is that Alien?", the following information about the Zaranites, based on Robert Fletcher's original background notes, added:

Like the Benzites, the Zaranites could not breath oxygen. In order to survive on Class-M worlds, they used breathing masks and backpacks that supplied them with fluorine gas. The jewelry they wore was made from horns of the Berbbotjahaa; the top part of the necklace indicated their family, while the bottom identified each individual.

The Zaranite breathing apparatus from The Motion Picture was reused for a pair of Federation councilors at Kirk's trial in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home and as Camp Khitomer attendants in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, whereas the aforementioned missing headpiece reappeared for an alien design only known as "Dark Eyes" in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. In both cases, it is unclear if these individuals were intended to represent Zaranites or other unknown species.

Zalkonian

Humanoid race distinguished by multiple horizontal facial ridges. They desired to be isolated in 2366 at first contact with the UFP, as some of its natives were undergoing metamorphosis into non-corporeal creatures. The first sign of a Zalkonian turning into a non-corporeal entity is when they start to exhibit painful isoelectric bursts. Zalkonians are ruled by a repressive government that seeks to destroy all those who exhibit signs of this change. Within four years, at least some natives were involved with the Maquis on Volan III.

Mysterious non-corporeal life forms. An unknown catastrophe on Zetar destroyed all corporeal life but separated out the intelligences of the dominant Zetarian humanoids. The surviving Zetarian entities have travelled space for millennia and may be completely immortal. They need no spacecraft and can travel up to .999c without assistance. All travellers should be warned that the Zetarians are seeking humanoid bodies to inhabit. When they find a physiologically compatible body they will take possession of it. The Zetarian presence can be removed by controlled decompression therapy.

Largely humanoid people who have distinctive facial tattooing and some wear decorative metal ribbons on their face. Their best known achievement is the Stacius Trade Guild, a consortium of wealthy traders who deal in many highly lucrative products such as Dilithium or rare compounds like Hitritium. They are the chief competition to the Ferengi in many sectors. Zibalian traders are known for large collections of rare and valuable goods. Zibalians are Kivas Fajo's race. Like him, painting the side of the face may be a widely-held custom.
