The Zoq, Fot, and Pik are three separate races that evolved simultaneously on a jungle-like world. Zoq-Fot-Pik look like little green plants (possessing very limited psychic abilities), blue springy things, and mute one eyed creatures2, though usually even they can't say which is which. 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 Piks, are obsessed with.
Their fighter-ship is called the Stinger and is known for its deadly tongue attack.
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", seemingly 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 met with them at Rigel. They relayed their dismays to him and begged for his help. It turned out that the battle taking place in their space was the Ur-Quan ceremonial Doctrinal Conflict.
The militarily weak Zoq-Fot-Pik were only marginally helpful in defeating the Ur-Quan, but the value of the information they brought early on to the New Alliance of Free Stars cannot be denied.

Gameplay notes
Sources of information
One of the first reports from Commander Hayes regards an unknown transmission coming from Rigel; the source of the transmission is a single Zoq-Fot-Pik Stinger seeking contact with the old Alliance of Free Stars. The captains of this ship can give the coordinates of the Zoq-Fot-Pik homeworld.
Relevance to the plot
While relations with the Zoq-Fot-Pik are not necessary, they provide quite a lot of valuable information, as well as the blueprints to their Stinger starships.
Soon after an alliance is established, Hayes relays an urgent plea for help from the Zoq-Fot-Pik whose homeworld is under attack from a battle group of Kohr-Ah Marauders. Without immediate assistance, the Zoq-Fot-Pik are obliterated.
Notes and references
- 1This identification of who is who in this image is based on the source code. In-game it is never clearly stated which one is the Zoq, the Fot, or the Pik; the characters themselves argue over who is the Fot.
- 2From the 2007 IRC chat with Toys for Bob (robot is Fred Ford, PR3 is Paul Reiche III):
- 23:26 <@Meep-Eep> < Elerium> Speaking of which, does the guy in the back of the ZFP have any future plans? We all know he doesn't say anything, but I like to think of him as some super genius who sadly doesn't have the ability to speak.
- 23:28 <+PR3> He got fed up with the other two and has temporarily 'broken up the band'. You will need to get them back together, because as solo artists they suck.
