History

While they do not have a history of war they did have numerous outbreaks of hostilitiy between rival traders and merchants. They developed slowly until they finally managed to perfect space flight. Then they were willing to trade with anyone for anything that they could make a profit from.

Government

Their government is a reflection of them as a people. It's main purpose is to keep their society going while encourageing business and trade. In fact it has become a subsiderie of the Stacius Trade Guild, a consortium of wealthy traders who deal in many highly lucrative products such as Dilithium or rare compounds like Hitritium.

Description

They appear as typical humanoids who have distinctive facial tattooing on one side of their faces which appears to be a widely-held custom. Some wear decorative metal ribbons on their face as well altho this does not appear to be as common.

Physiology

They have a common humanoid physiology with many of the same hormonal and chemical enzimes as most other humanoid species.

Psychology

They have a normal level of mental health issues altho it is not uncommon for them to take enormas risks in order to obtain either a rare item or the funds to buy the item if they need it for their collection. The drive to collect, to add a new piece to their collections is in some cases over powering and has caused some to take insane risks in order to add a new piece to their collection. A prime example of this is Kivas Fajo was a Zibalian cargo ship captain, who in 2365 kidnapped Lt. Cmdr. Data to add to his collection.

Religion

They have 2 god that they observe. Com'Er the male god of business and profit and Ca'Vil his sister the goddess of collecting or accuireing. While they seem to have grown out of the peoples natural tendencies to collect and seek profit certain historical documents seem to indicate that at one time they were real people who due to their abilities were rewarded for their abilities and became one with the universe.

Mythology

All their myths have to do with seeking profit and adding something new and unique to their collections. The main two individuals these stories seem to revolve around is Com'Er and his twin sister Ca'Vil.

Society

Their entire society is built on the need to accuire profit and expand their collections. Anything is acceptable if it allows them to achieve either of these two goals.

Culture

While they do enjoy art, music and other forms of entertainment as a species they are best known for their large collections of rare and valuable goods. They will collect just about anything and even the poorer members of their society will have found something to collect.

Customs

They have few customs and the ones they do have seem to revolve around adding items to their collection and the advancement of their financial empire.

Technology

The majority of the population are generally considered to be slightly behind the least advanced of the Federation member worlds when it comes to technology. This can not be said of the richer traders or companies which are considered to be for the most part on a par with the majority of the Federation member worlds. At the same time some may also be more advanced in some fields depending on their successful dealings in technology and other rare merchandise.

Economy

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.

Military

No military but they do have a very effective police and customs force that maintain peace and harmony between the various traders and trading companies. Some of the larger companies and extremely wealthy traders even have a few privately owned security vessels to protect extremely valuable cargos.

Federation Intelligence Files

Kivas Fajo was a Zibalian cargo ship captain, who up until 2365, dealt in rare one-of-a-kind objects from around the quadrant. See file # TNG-2365-1093 for more data.

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.

Zetarian

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.

The Zetarians (or Zetars) were a race of once-corporeal beings from the planet Zetar.

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. (TOS: "The Lights of Zetar")
