| Background | In 2374 Voyager met a being called "Arturis". He proved adept at languages including encryptions, and apparently helped the crew decode a badly degraded message from Star Fleet which led to an empty "Star Fleet" prototype vessel called "USS Dauntless" in which they could travel home to the Alpha Quadrant. His original culture is presumed to be destroyed after being assimilated by the Borg. |
| Editors Notes | The "USS Dauntless" was revealed to be Arturis' own ship disguised to look like a Star Fleet vessel. Arturis hoped to punish Janeway and her crew by taking them with him to Borg space where he would all be assimilated as Borg drones. Arturis was seeking revenge for his people's assimilation by the Borg, which he blamed on Janeway's alliance with the Borg to defeat Species 8472. Arturis believed that if Janeway had not interefered, Species 8472 would have destroyed the Borg, saving his people from assimilation. The deception was unmasked in time to save Voyager's crew but Arturis ended up entering Borg space where he was assimilated. However, Voyager was for a while able to adapt his quantum slipstream drive for use with Voyager's engines to shorten their journey. |
