Technological
alien species currently occupying third planet of Zeta Reticuli
system.
Zeta
Reticulan History
The
following account is derived from Zeta Reticulan sources and is
considered highly suspect. However, more accurate information is
not available.
The
Zeta Reticulan species was created using bio-engineering by GARGOYLE,
likely using early hominids as a base, for use as a labor force on
Earth. Around 40,000 BC they rebelled against their creators, stole
two interstellar-capable spacecraft and associated other technology,
and ultimately settled on a habitable planet in the Zeta Reticuli
system, where they have remained since. Since making contact with
humans in REDACTED, they have acted as a passive ally to humanity,
trading knowledge and technology and giving aid and shelter to the
separatist Order of the Third Eye.
This
account has numerous inconsistencies. Economic analysis shows that
the Zeta Reticulans are extremely suboptimal as a labor force
compared to other solutions. Furthermore, given known GARGOYLE
bio-engineering and weapons technologies, it is extremely implausible
that their rebellion could have succeeded. Finally, although a
detailed archeological survey is not available, there is no evidence
of Reticulan occupation of Zeta Reticuli 3 that can be dated to
earlier then 0 AD. Consensus of the Xenodiplomatic Analysis
Committee is that the Zeta Reticulan account of their history has
been fabricated, either by themselves or by GARGOYLE
neuro-engineering, for unknown purposes.
Zeta
Reticulan Biology
Structurally,
Zeta Reticulans are humanoid in broad outline, generally 1 to 1.5
meters tall and very thin. They have very large almond-shaped,
white- and iris-less eyes, able to see into the infrared and
ultraviolet spectrum, pale tan skin, and no hair. They lack any
reproductive or digestive system, and use technological means to
maintain themselves. Other then this significant difference, their
internal structure is broadly similar to baseline humans, with lungs,
heart, etc. mounted in the chest cavity and a dual-lobed brain in the
head.
At
a microscopic level, the Zeta Reticulans are essentially humaniform,
with cell structures isomorphic to corresponding human structures.
Zeta
Reticulan Technology
The
Zeta Reticulans remain dependent on technology stolen from GARGOYLE
or obtained from human factions. This includes bioprocessing
equipment to produce blood nutritive factors, and cloning tanks for
reproduction. Although they originally possessed two
interstellar-capable spacecraft, only one remains functional, the
other having been REDACTED. Their indigenous technology base is
limited to basic agriculture, stone construction, and stone and
copper tools.
Zeta
Reticulan Culture
Zeta
Reticulans are extremely passive, reactive, and uncreative. They
exhibit little emotion or initiative, and, with rare exceptions, will
follow instructions from superiors without question. They have a
strictly hierarchical society, with hierarchy rank determined
meritocratically.

The
following summary report was generated by the Deep Space
Reconnaissance Project, under security phrase WARDEN:
System
Designator: Tau Ceti / WARDEN
Planetary
System: 9 primary bodies: 1 gas
giant; 1 major debris disk
Primary
Target: Tau Ceti 6
Initial
survey categorizes as B5: carbon dioxide-nitrogen atmosphere. No
acute microbiological hazards. Temperature within baseliner
habitable range within the equatorial zone, averaging 0 F to 80 F at
equator; polar zones not habitable by baseliners. Water oceans
covering approx. 40% of surface in two main seas, dubbed Big Sea and
Bigger Sea, with surface in single contiguous continent. Surface
bears heavy meteor scarring. Surface gravity 0.71 G. Volcanic
activity moderate.
2,064
large cylindrical structures, approximately 200 meters tall and 20
meters wide, are scattered equidistantly across the planet's surface.
Each structure is made of amorphous titanium oxide.
Hypergeometric survey associates each structure to two gravimetric
sources, located approximately three kilometers under the planetary
surface, one inactive class-1, one active class-2, with one exception
(see below). The active class-2 sources are consistent with class-2
Elder Signs rendered in petroglyphic form and associated to a megaton
mass anchor. Each structure bears Architect hieroglyphs reading
REDACTED. Based on DocInt and REDACTED, structures have been
identified as the prison-tombs of RAZOR ANGEL. Secondary Architect
ruins located in the Big Sea.
Initial
biological survey shows native life limited to micro-organisms
operating on photosynthesis-fermentation cycle. No indication of
macro-predators.
Secondary
Target: Artifact in Tau Ceti Orbit
Artificial
structure in highly eccentric orbit around Tau Ceti (aphelion 1 AU,
perihelion 0.1 AU), consisting of a cluster of three cylindrical
macromolecular carbon fuel tanks with associated attachment valves
and seals. Macromolecular structure is a type not used by any known
human or alien faction. Appears to have been in orbit for
approximately eight million years, judging by meteor scarring on
surface.
UN
Operations in Tau Ceti System
UNS
No Higher Good
made an exploratory survey of the Tau Ceti system during the Second
Golden Age, discovering the prison-tombs and Architect ruins. The
crew of No Higher Good
spent four years in system, focusing their efforts on excavating the
Architect ruins in the Big Sea. The mission was aborted early
following excavation of a prison-tomb. Available public records
attribute the abort to breakdown of the ship's primary fusion laser
array, caused by unexpected degradation of the focusing optics;
however, historical analysis strongly indicates this was a coverup,
and that the expedition actually aborted after accidentally freeing a
RAZOR ANGEL by disrupting the containment petroglyph.
