ZETA was a private army created by Galaxy One in an erased future to hunt down any and all vigilantes. Those soldiers are recognizable due to their helmets that posses the Archer program.
History
At some point after acquiring the Archer program, Eden Corps managed use it in the profit of Galaxy One by designing ZETA.
After a incident at The Glades festival, Keven Dale introduced Mayor Rene Ramirez to a prototype of a ZETA soldier mask.[1]
Hunt of Vigilantes
Shortly after the festival incident, ZETA soldiers started patrolling the Glades, searching for members of the Canaries to kill. Later, a soldier that killed a canary was ambushed by the group and destroyed by Laurel Lance. His mask was taken by the Canaries.[2]
Sometime later, Dale promoted the creation of ZETA soldiers from Galaxy One to hunt vigilantes.[3]
Zeta Soldiers were tasked to arrest the Canaries at their lair, but an undercover agent helped the group escape. Later as the Canaries tried to destroy The Glades' wall, the ZETA soldiers were unable to arrest them since the Archer program was hacked. Some soldiers on top of Wall were killed by Mia Smoak, who detonated explosives.
Afterwards, the ZETA operation was presumably shut down due to the downfall of Galaxy One and The Glades on its way to unification.[4]
