General Valen

General Valen was the commander of an Annari vessel which was lost in the void, an inert layer of subspace that trapped ships for over five years. USS Voyager was also caught in the the Void. At first Valen pretended to be an ally of Kathryn Janeway. Valen told Janeway that the only way to obtain energy and supplies within The Void is to attack new ships and steal their supplies. Janeway refused to do this even though it had lost most of its supplies to another ship that attacked it.

He would later betray Janeway. Valen would steal the supplies from the ship that attacked Voyager and refused to return them. Voyager recovered some of the supplies by knocking out Valen's shields. He would later attack Voyager so he could steal her power sources. After Voyager had formed an alliance with other ships in the Void in an attempt to escape the Void, Valen would attack them. His attack failed when Voyager beamed over Fantome, a native of the Void, who sabotaged Valen's ship. Voyager and the other ships escaped.(VOY: "The Void")

Valen was played by Robin Sachs. Valen was also the name of the messiah-figure of the Minbari on "Babylon 5"; Robin Sachs played a Minbari politician in that series.
