The Zetarians were a race of corporeal beings from the planet Zetar. When the planet died and all corporeal life was destroyed in a cataclysmic event, the last hundred Zetarians were determined not to die. They lived on as a pattern of lights and noncorporeal energy, containing their thoughts, desires, hopes, minds, their very will to live. Now capable of high-warp speeds, this group took to traveling through space, seeking a humanoid vessel with a compatible physiology 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 thie 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 the Zetarians, who killed the entire population of researchers and staff there and burned out large sections of the computer core, leaving a great deal of knowledge to the Federation lost forever.
After the attack on Memory Alpha, the Zetarians found on board the USS Enterprise a computer specialist named Mira Romaine. Mira appeared to possess the compatible physiology the aliens needed. When they attempted to possess her body, she was able to resist long enough for Mr. Scott and Dr. McCoy to place her within Enterprise 's decompression chamber. After adapting to the vacuum of space, the Zetarians were too susceptible to the increased pressure environment, and were quickly driven from Mira’s body and destroyed. (TOS: The Lights of Zetar).
