Changes: Benthan

Revision as of 15:31, 14 December 2014

The Benthans were a warp-capable species from Benthos in the Delta Quadrant.

They were encountered in 2374 by the USS Voyager when Lt. Tom Paris was attacked by the Benthan Guard in the Kotaba Expanse. (VOY: "Vis à Vis")

It was never made clear whether it was Steth or Daelen who was a Benthan, or if neither or even both of them were.

-:''It is possible that the Coaxial warp drive belonged to the alien and not to the Benthans. However this is unlikely as the alien abandons the ship when he takes over Tom's body.''
