Metics were the resident aliens of Athens. They were traders, students, craftsmen etc. They did not have citizenship rights, but had a degree of protection as residents. They were required to help defend the city if it was was threatened (but not required for expeditionary forces), having their own regiment and expected to fight as well or better than the citizens.
