Zakdorn; (left) Humanoid race reputed to be formidable
warriors and regarded for over 9000 years to be the greatest strategic
minds in the galaxy. This reputation is so strong that it has not been
tested in recent memory. While many Zakdorn find employment as
strategists or planners, the resounding majority
serve in bureaucratic or minor political positions.
Physically, the Zakdorn do not meet their reputation, they have pale
blue/grey skin with many folds, and the majority of Zakdorns are obese
and weak. This has not affected their reputation, however, and Zakdorn
strategists are of great value. TNG
"Peak Performance" 2-47
Zaldan; (right) Humanoid race characterized by webbed fingers and slightly amphibious features. Members of the Federation, they have found integration into the galactic society difficult. This is because they interpret normal courtesy as dishonesty and react with extreme irritation and occasional violence. Once this is taken into account, however, they are a friendly and helpful people. TNG "Coming of Age" 1-19
Zalkonian; (right)
Humanoid race from
Zalkon in the Zeta Gelis Cluster, distinguished by multiple horizontal
facial ridges. They have limited interstellar technology but advanced
weapons technology on par with the Federation. In recent years some
members of their species have exhibited painful isoelectric bursts as a
precursor to a transition to a noncorporeal entity. They come from a
repressive government that seeks to destroy all those who exhibit signs
of this change. TNG "Transfigurations"

Zeon; (left) Humanoid colonists from outermost world in
the M43 Alpha system. Since their colony was founded several hundred
years ago, their parent world of Ekos has come to consider the Zeon's
as another race entirely. This was almost the end of the Zeon race in
2268 when a freak accident caused Ekos to mimic the 1930's Terran
culture of Nazi Germany and pursued a campaign of genocide against the
Zeons. Only Federation intervention stopped this potential mass murder.
The Zeons are almost indistinguishable from Terrans. TOS "Patterns of Force" 2-50
Zetarian; (right) Mysterious non corporeal life forms from
Zetar near Klingon space. An unknown catastrophy on Zetar destroyed all
corporeal life but separated out the intelligences of the dominant
Zetarian humanoids. The surviving Zetarian entities have traveled space
for millenia and may be completely immortal. They need no spacecraft
and can travel up to 99.9% of the speed of light without assistance.
All travelers should be warned that the Zetarians are seeking humanoid
bodies to inhabit. When they find a physiologically compatible body
they will take posession of it. The Zetarian presence can be removed by
controlled decompression therapy. TOS

Zevians; Civilization. In 2374, Zevian authorities
requested information on a smuggling ring from the security office at
Deep Space 9. DS9 "His Way" 6-144
Zibalian; (left) Largely humanoid people from an unknown world in deep space. They 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. TNG "The Most Toys" 3-70
