[edit] The Zettians
The Zettian race in the Heroscape Universe are members of the Soulborg species from Alpha Prime. The Zettians are led by a “Deathwalker” a super powerful Zettian fitted with the very best weapon technology.
Because of their robotic nature, Zettian technology is highly advanced, especially in the armor and weapons systems. Zettians are famous for traveling in incredibly heavy armor to shield their weak bodies. They are also capable of remotely linking their targeting systems to fellow Zettians for increased range and firepower.

Zettian Sets that have appeared:
The Master Set: Rise of the Valkyire:
- Deathwalker 9000
Current Zettian Deathwalker
(Like his fellow Soulborgs the Zettian Guards, Deathwalker 9000 is slowed down by his cumbersome full-body armor. His lumbering demeanor may at first deceive those who are unfamiliar with Soulborgs; but they would be ill advised to let down their guard. Deathwalker 9000's armor is impenetrable, and one exploding fireball from his energy blaster can wipe out a cluster of warriors in a nanosecond.
To defeat Deathwalker 9000 an enemy must find, by either luck or proximity, one of the few vulnerable areas under his armor plates. Knowing this, Deathwalker often travels with Zettian Guards, programming them for longer attack range as a reward for their loyalty and protection.)
- Zettian Guards
Zettian wielding chain guns
(Though these fairly small Soulborgs travel slowly and only in pairs, they are not easy targets. Their thick, full-body armor is tough to penetrate, so they often keep advancing despite a barrage of enemy fire. But this defensive edge has its price: the weighty armor slows the Zettians down and affects their aim. To make up for this, they tend to target a single enemy and attack it in quick succession with their laser-powered weapons. An enemy that survives the attack and can find the weakness in their armor has a good chance of defeating a Zettian Guard.)
Orm’s Return:
- Deathwalker 8000
Previous Zettian Deathwalker
(Its bio indicates that Deathwalker 8000 was the previous Deathwalker that failed in one of its objectives and was replaced by Deathwalker 9000. Before it could be scrapped by its own Zettain followers, Utgar whisked the powerful machine away to serve him in his army. After all, what could be better than two Deathwalkers?
Deadly is the only word that could describe this sentient machine. It is not clear how intelligent it is, but one thing is certain: it is a deadly adversary. The Soulborgs are a strange mixture of metal and reason. Whether that reason is an artificial intelligence or an actual biological one, no one from Valhalla seems to know.
The Deathwalker 8000 is just slightly less dangerous than his successor, and a little more vulnerable. Any hit that gets through his shields will neutralize him. However, his ability to rapid fire, sometimes hitting multiple targets, makes him plenty dangerous enough.)
Jandar’s Oath:
- Deathwalker 7000
Old Zettian Deathwalker
Unlike later Deathwalkers, Deathwalker 7000 is unarmed; it destroys its enemies with its cold bare metallic hands.
This tricky Soulborg is what one would refer to as a walking bomb, designed to infiltrate an enemy army and obliterate them from the inside. Many a foe has been caught flat-footed with a Deathwalker 7000 in their midst. The result is not pretty. The Deathwalker uses its speed to get right into the middle of opposing forces. It then simply blows up, wounding all surrounding foes, some lethally.
The other ability that makes this tin can so dangerous is its resistance to ranged attacks. It has the uncanny ability to simply dodge most missile attacks.
This is enough to make even an arrogant Elf like Syvarris cringe.)
Thora’s Vengeance:
- Deathstalkers
Robotic Zettian Wolves
(A shrill howl rings out through the night air. It sends a chill up the spine of a lone member of the 4th Massachusetts, who pulled guard duty for a small party of soldiers camped on the northern edge of Upper Bleakwoode. The soldier’s eyes dart back and forth, frantically straining to see the source of the sound. A second howl, now louder, reverberates off his ears, the noise somehow as sad as it is frightening. Suddenly, in the space between the surrounding trees, a dozen pairs of eerie red eyes light up. The soldier jumps up to alert his troops, but his warning cries are cut short.
The Deathstalkers have claimed another victim. These cold, uncaring creatures once had a will of their own. Some say you can still hear it in their howl: a cry of resistance to the circuits that now force them to do naught but search and destroy.
Deathstalker to the result of Zettian technology fused with Vanhalla wolves, creating dangerous cyborg beasts. If this program was carried out at Utgar's command or if the Zettians did it themselves is unknown.)
- Deathreavers
Robotic Zettian Rats
(They've sent out the rodents, vile little machines, always seeking, always scratching, always gnawing. It’s not so much the threat of the Deathreavers in and of themselves that incites overwhelming fear, it’s what they bring. The Reavers are sent out as scouts, to crawl into the smallest places, climb over and through the roughly built barriers, and find what they seek.)
Fields of Valor:
- Warden 816
Robotic Warden from the prison planet Isadora wielding an Evisceraxe. (The Soulborgs are a race of living machines programmed to conquer and take over territory. Fast becoming one of the deadliest killers in Utgar’s army, Warden 816 is unique in his skills and leadership ability. Without emotion, he directs troops into battle. Expecting those he commands to obey his every order, the Soulborg leader is infamous for driving his armies into combat with unusual speed. Their momentum comes more from fear of Warden 816 than from a desire to fight.
Armed with the massively powerful Evisceraxe, Warden 816 terrifies nearby enemies, annihilating them with the force of his weapon.)
-
- Note: As Warden 816 is from the planet Isadora, instead of Alpha Prime, it is still unknown if he is a Zettian or a new completely new Soulborg species.
