ZAP SPACY (Zata Astromical Pioneers SPACY) is a human interstellar organization with objectives that include exploration and cargo transportation for various Earth colonies, as well as the search for other habitable planets in the universe. The organization first appeared in the Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle and its related series.[1]
Overview[]
ZAP SPACY is a human interstellar organization operating in an era of space exploration, where monsters on Earth have gone extinct. As human civilization progresses into a space-colonizing society, it continues to expand. ZAP SPACY is at the forefront of this expansion, leading space missions focused on exploration and cargo transportation for various Earth colonies. Their primary objective is to find planets without intelligent life that are suitable for terraforming, ultimately turning them into new homes for humanity.
To acquire abundant resources from space, ZAP SPACY's main tasks include executing resource transportation and planetary development missions. They also engage in activities such as energy resource extraction and rescue operations across various areas. As a result, they are not focused on combat and do not handle monster-related tasks like defense teams do. However, the transport ships they use are repurposed battleships from half a century before the story begins, so they are not entirely unarmed when facing the dangers of space.
ZAP SPACY has a comprehensive headquarters on Earth and has established frontier planet branches and related facilities on numerous planets. They also have various transport units, including Space Pendragon, Ghostard Dragon, Shamrock, Morrigan, and Tristan.

Ultra Galaxy Legend Side Story: Ultraman Zero VS Darklops Zero[]
While Rei and Hyuga are patrolling in space, they receive an S.O.S. call from an alternate reality as they entered to detect it. Once they arrived on an unknown planet where Ultraman Zero fought the robotic Ultra Brothers, a heavily wounded alternate Hyuga reveals that two weeks ago, Alien Salome engineered a factory to create the Imit-Ultra Brothers (SR Team) to conquer all universes but however, the effect of their factory also emitting universal gaps to various universes. The alternate Hyuga entrusts this mission to Rei and Hyuga before he vanishes. Rei of the ZAP SPACY encounters Mecha Gomora, he sent out his Gomora to do battle. However, Mecha Gomora proved to be a challenge for Gomora, and so the mechanical double easily beats down Gomora. Shortly afterwards, Ultraman Zero arrives, saving the ZAP SPACY and battles Mecha Gomora himself. The tides turn to Zero's favor as his own strength is enough to hold back Mecha Gomora on his own, destroying one of his head crest horns and both of his claws with his Zero Sluggers. Soon, Zero is confronted by the Imit-Ultra Brothers and Mecha Gomora is called back for repairs, but not after taking out both Rei and Litra in the crossfire.
Later, Rei found himself tied up and having lost the Battlenizer. Suddenly, a warrior appeared and released Rei by destroying the machines with his attacks. The warrior was revealed to be an alternate Rei who wanted his counterpart's help. Shockingly, the counterpart also lost his Battlenizer, angering him as the other Rei punched him on the stomach, making him regain his senses. As they witness the Imit-Ultra Brothers being teleported via Darklops Zero, Hyuga appeared and gived them the Neo Battlenizer which the first Rei used to summon Gomora to destroy the robots. Herodia sent forth Mecha Gomora and ordered him to fight. Darklops Zero awakened and destroyed the whole factory with his Emerium Slash. Hyuga managed to catch Herodia but unfortunately, she died not before revealing that Darklops Zero wasn't their creation, but someone else's. While Gomora was controlled by both Reis it was overpowered by both Mecha Gomora and Darklops Zero, until Ultraman Zero finally appeared and assisted Gomora. After the battle was over, the alternate Rei stated he received his counterpart's memory while holding the Battlenizer itself and vanished, bidding farewell to him. However, Darklops Zero still survived and self-destructed forcing everyone to flee from Planet Cheney's destruction. As they awakened, they at first thought that it was a dream but proven wrong when an alternate Hyuga called them and thanked them for their assistance.
