Learn about the Zoltan in FTL: Faster Than Light, including their unique skills, low health, and 60 Scrap hiring cost.

Zoltan are beings of pure energy. Their unique skills allow them to add Reactor Energy to any system in the room they currently occupy, which can save precious Reactor Energy for other purposes. They have the lowest health of any species, with only 70 health, making them poor combatants. However, when a Zoltan is killed, they explode in a burst of damaging energy, dealing 15 points of damage.

Zoltan are best suited for manning ship systems, especially those that require Reactor Energy to function, such as Shields and Weapons. They can be hired at a Store for 60 Scrap.

Tips
  • Prioritize placing Zoltan in rooms with essential systems that consume Reactor Energy.
  • Be aware of their low health; avoid putting them in direct combat situations.
  • Utilize their explosion upon death to deal damage to enemies or disrupt their systems.
