While searching for a missing Maquis vessel with a Starfleet
operative on board in the Badlands, the USS Voyager becomes
pulled
to the Delta Quadrant by a powerful alien
known as the Caretaker (the Nacene). This Caretaker is looking for
a possible mate, so that his offspring can take his place. When
the Caretaker dies, Captain Janeway must make a difficult decision and
destroy the Array that bough her crew to the Delta Quadrant, so that an
alien species, the Kazon, may not use it to destroy the peaceful

disease caused by exposure to the radiation produced by the Metreon
Cascade, and cure them using the transporters. In the process, it

disaster, but rather he was a coward and ran away. Jetrel's
