Zoq-Fot-Pik

The Zoq-Fot-Pik
The Zoq-Fot-Pik (ZFP) are a union of races hailing from the Tucanae constellation. They are Battle Thralls of the Ur-Quan.

Recent History
The ZFP were barely establishing colonies when the Ur-Quan barged through, surrounding their homeworld and forcing them to become slaves. The ZFP decided that their curiosity was too great to be fallow slaves, so they became Battle Thralls. The Ur-Quan then gave them the ship design for the Zapper, which is much more powerful than the ZFP Stinger, which was demoted to use as a scouting vessel.

The ZFP fight mostly against the Umgah, whose ships can even be destroyed in great numbers with a simple Stinger. However the ZFP also fight often against the Chenjuesu, who pose a much more serious threat. The ZFP also often assist the Ur-Quan and the Thraddash in their battles, ZFP Zappers sometimes seen in their space.

The ZFP are mixed in their opinions about the Alliance of Free Stars. The ZFP Military, in control of the Zappers, generally consider the Ur-Quan Hierarchy as the strongest force in the region, and believe that any attempt at secession would result in the Ur-Quan annihilating their race. The diplomats and the scouts, in control of the Stingers, are more often friendlier towards the Alliance, secretly hoping that the Alliance would be able to protect the ZFP if they were to betray the Ur-Quan.

Zoq-Fot-Pik Civil War
At the end of 2115, the Zoq-Fot-Pik will enter civil war. Almost all of the Stingers, and some of the Zappers, will join the Secession movement, whose goal is to dispose of the pro Ur-Quan military junta, while almost all of the Zappers, and some of the Stingers, will remain loyal to the Ur-Quan and their appointed ZFP military government. In about a year, the loyalists will win, unless the Alliance intervenes.

In order for the player to assist the Zoq-Fot-Pik rebels, the Captain will have to convince the Chenjesu to intervene. The Chenjesu will not intervene. The reasoning is because they have strong evidence that the Umgah are up to something, but can't find out what it is. If the player reveals to them that the Umgah are creating a mutant Ilwrath queen, then they will dispose of the issue, then they will assist the rebels, ending the civil war in two months, with the Zoq-Fot-Pik admittance into the Alliance. This will increase the Alliance military power by 15%.
