Zeons

Planetary Hostilities and Covert Captivity Operations

Description

The Zeons serve as Atrios' planetary adversaries, holding captives during hostilities against the planet Zeos. Their forces detained Astra, as corroborated by both Merak and Astra, though her account of escape lacks detail and raises skepticism. The conflicting narratives and Merak's sudden injury suggest the Zeons may operate through deception, using captives as pawns in larger maneuvers. Their operational tactics appear opportunistic, exploiting moments of vulnerability to further their antagonistic goals.
