| abstract | - The Zoq-Fot-Pik are a conglomeration of sapient species who evolved simultaneously, grew up together mutually on a solitary, jungle-like home planet. Confusing while at the same time amusing, none of them can outright state which species is the Zoq, which is the Fot, and which is the Pik. Zoq-Fot-Pik look like little green plants/cobra snakes (possessing very limited psychic abilities), blue springy things, and brown one-eyed creatures,1 although they resemble frogs/toads,2 and even they can't say which name belongs to which creature.3 Having once been threatened by the carnivorous Zebranky they formed an alliance and destroyed them. This alliance led to very big technological advances which eventually formed the current Zoq-Fot-Pik race. They spend much time together and usually argue about many things, including Frungy, which is a sport some Zoq-Fot-Pik, notably Pik, are obsessed with. Their fighter-ship is called the Stinger and is known for its deadly tongue attack. In the 2150s, The Zoq-Fot-Pik first entered the galactic fray when they found their colony worlds were playing host to terrible space battles. These battles unleashed titanic forces as the two sides fought, and when they missed each other the small Zoq-Fot-Pik colonies suffered. Having heard from "the great crystal ones", most likely a reference to the Chenjesu, of several races who often helped each other, the Alliance of Free Stars, they set about making contact. The Alliance by this point however was already defeated. Years later The Captain meets with them at Rigel. They relay their dismays to him and beg for his help. It turns out that the battle taking place in their space is the Ur-Quan ceremonial Doctrinal Conflict. The militarily weak Zoq-Fot-Pik are only marginally helpful in defeating the Ur-Quan, but the value of the information they bring early on to the New Alliance of Free Stars cannot be denied. They also witness the Supox and Utwig offensive against the Kohr-Ah and, apparently, make contact with the two attacking races.
