physiology had evolved to survive in complete

darkness, developing extreme photosensitivity
to any light source. Their skin was dark brown
and leathery in appearance, covered in black
nodules, giving them an appearance not
unlike seaweed.
The alien that remained aboard Voyager
was exremely sick, the Doctor confirming
that it was in the final stages of extreme theta
radiaton poisoning, contracted over a long
period of time. The Malon knew their dumping
of toxic waste was killing the aliens, but they
did not listen. Recognising that Janeway’s
crew was resourceful and her ship powerful,
the alien begged the captain for help…

 An injured alien remained aboard Voyager, allowing Janeway to

learn the truth. The aliens were dying of Theta radiation poisoning,
dumped in the Void by the Malon.

This was the Voyager crew’s only encounter with
the aliens indigenous to the Void. Emck claimed
that there were thousands of the Void ships
standing between Voyager and the other side of
the lightless expanse, but this may have been an
exaggeration to encourage Janeway to accept
his help. At least 20 Void ships were present near
Voyager’s location following first engagement.

that was more vertically oriented from
an alien race who would perhaps
have a different sense of aesthetics
and a different sense of ergonomics.
“Then I left the Lebbeus Woods idea
behind, but I liked the general shape,
so I decided, let’s make it organic.
The creators of this ship had the ability
to organically grow their ships. So it
looks almost like a sea creature, or
something that’s partially coral,
especially being in a lightless
environment, that it would generate
its own light, like a deep-sea creature
in terrestrial oceans.”
As an artist, Curry’s design process
for any new STAR TREK ship started
with pencil and paper. “It’s a
stream-of-consciousness process,” he
outlines. “I start making a stroke and
once I have a stroke down, then I build
the ship in my imagination as I go
along. And that’s my design process.”
