When their planet began dying some time around the 14th century, the last hundred survivors planned on leaving the planet. Just as they were about to leave, however, one last cataclysmic event occurred, destroying their corporeal existence. They continued living as a pattern of lights and non-corporeal energy, containing their thoughts, desires, hopes, minds, their very will to live. | |||
Capable of high-warp speeds, this group took to traveling through space for a millennium, seeking a humanoid with a compatible physiology that they could inhabit and live out their lives through. | |||
The Zetarians desired no cohabitation or symbiosis, but rather intended to take over a humanoid body outright, shoving aside the resident consciousness to make room for their own. They claimed they did not wish to kill, but those who resisted their takeover would die. In seeking out humanoids, they killed countless lifeforms by burning out sections of their brains, causing massive internal hemorrhaging. Their energy patterns also disrupted delicate computer systems. | |||
In 2269, Memory Alpha was attacked by a body composed of ten Zetarians, who killed the entire population of researchers, scholars and specialists there and burned out large sections of the library's central brain and memory core, leaving a great deal of amassed Federation knowledge lost forever. | |||
After the attack on Memory Alpha, the Zetarians returned to the USS Enterprise, and the specialist Mira Romaine, which they had tapped in an earlier encounter with the Enterprise. Mira appeared to possess the compatible physiology the Zetarians needed. When they attempted to possess her body, she was able to resist long enough for Scotty and Dr. McCoy to place her within Enterprise's pressure chamber. After adapting to the vacuum of space, the Zetarians were extremely susceptible to the increased pressure environment, and were quickly driven from Mira's body and destroyed | |||

The Zetarians (or Zetars) were a race of once-corporeal beings from the planet Zetar. Now they are just a mysterious non-corporeal life form. They continued living as a pattern of lights and non-corporeal energy, containing their thoughts, desires, hopes, minds, their very will to live. | |||

The Zetarians (or Zetars) were a race of once-corporeal beings from the planet Zetar. 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. See file # [[ma:The Lights of Zetar|TOS-2269-8312]] for more data. | |||

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. | |||
By 2366, many Zalkonians began to undergo the process of evolving in to non-corporeal lifeforms. They began experiencing isoelectric bursts as part of this process. The Zalkonian people were frightened by those undergoing the change and their government began exterminating anyone showing symptoms. Some of those affected fled their homeworld but were ruthlessly pursued by the Zalkonian military, including Sunad. | |||
In 2366, the USS Enterprise-D discovered a crashed Zalkonian escape pod, and rescued one survivor. This survivor exhibited almost complete memory loss and was named "John Doe" by Doctor Beverly Crusher. "John" began to undergo the symptoms of the change while on board. The Enterprise was intercepted by Sunad's ship. Sunad demanded John's return, but Captain Jean-Luc Picard refused to turn John over without an explanation as to the nature of his crimes. Sunad attacked the Enterprise, but John stopped the attack. Now that Sunad posed no danger to him, John finished his transformation and returned to his homeworld to help those undergoing the change do so in safety. | |||
