The Tzel were an insectoid species who were enemies of the Planetary Union in the early 24th century.
Biology[]
The Tzel were large caterpillar-like aliens who towered over the average humanoid. Their hides were thick enough to resist multiple shots from older PM-488 Titan models and their spear-like appendages were sharp and powerful enough to pierce Union armor.
History[]
In the early 24th century, the Tzel fought a protracted war with the Planetary Union. Thousands of lives were lost in the conflict before the Union emerged victorious.[1] The Tzel were known for their devious fighting tactics. In one significant battle, the Tzel lured Union battleships into an ambush between 8,750 and 9,000 light years from Earth.[2]

The Tzel possessed a fleet of starships which were equal to the battle ships of the Planetary Union.
