The Fen Domar are an alien race residing somewhere near the border between the Delta and Beta Quadrants.

In an alternate timeline in which the USS Voyager did not return to Earth until 2394, Voyager was engaged in a battle with the Fen Domar a few years after 2378. During this battle, Captain Janeway's favorite coffee cup was permanently damaged.

Voyager's battle with the Fen Domar was erased from history when now-Admiral Janeway travelled back in time from 2404 to 2378 in order to bring Voyager back to the Alpha Quadrant sixteen years earlier. (VOY: "Endgame")

According to Admiral Janeway, Voyager would have "run into" the Fen Domar within "a few years" of 2378 if she had continued travelling on the course she was headed at the time. According to the non-canonical (but Paramount-endorsed) book Star Trek: Star Charts by Geoffrey Mandel, by 2378 Voyager had traversed almost the entire Delta Quadrant and was only a few light years away from crossing into the Beta Quadrant. This suggests that the Fen Domar could very likely be a Beta Quadrant civilization, though their territory would still remain quite distant from Federation space.
The vagueness of the date Admiral Janeway gives for the battle with the Fen Domar raises the possibility that it is somehow connected to the death of Seven of Nine in the alternate timeline, which was said to have occurred on an away mission in 2381 (quite reasonably "a few years" after 2378).
