== Overview ==
The Zetans are a mysterious and highly advanced species often regarded as Galaxa’s boogiemen. Known for their cold, clinical approach to other species, they are infamous for abducting individuals, conducting experiments on them, and returning them altered—physically, mentally, or both. Their actions are not limited to individual experiments; they have been known to perform large-scale social experiments, often resulting in devastation for the affected worlds.
Zetans are a source of paranoia across Galaxa, their presence often whispered about but rarely confirmed. Many governments maintain a kill-on-sight policy due to their history of hostile interventions.

The Zetans are methodical and emotionless in their interactions with other species. Their motives remain unclear, but their actions indicate a preference for manipulation and control over direct confrontation.

The Zetans’ influence can be seen in the paranoia and defensive policies of many civilizations. Their presence has shaped intergalactic policy regarding first contact, leading to strict measures to prevent their interference.
