the Federation enemy.
Projections (VGR)

a massive Kazon attack and that most of the crew has abandoned ship, so he
ventures from Sickbay, via remote holo-projection system, to aid those still
on board.
Elogium (VGR)
Aggressive space-dwelling lifeforms attach themselves to
the Starship, creating an electrophoretic field. The occurence increases Kes'
metabolic activity and accelerates her reproductive process, causing her to

have a child, it must be immediately.

himself on Earth--in 24th century San Francisco--working as a design
specialist at Starfleet Engineering and engaged to be married to Libby. When

never a crew member aboard USS Voyager.
Way of the Warrior, The (Parts 1 & 2) (DS9)
Sisko is rather shocked when a major Klingon fleet appear
at the station and ask for shore leave. The combination of their unusually
quiet state and their harassment of ships in the area leads Sisko to seek
help in the form of Lt Worf, formerly of the Enterprise. Arriving on the
station, Worf discovers the purpose of the Klingon mission and agonises over
whether to tell Starfleet or not.
With their plan discovered the Klingons leave and begin an invasion of
Cardassia in an attempt to secure a foothold near the Wormhole and a forward
base against a possible invasion by The Dominion. After a conversation with

the invading Klingon forces. The Klingons retaliate and attack Deep Space
Nine in force.

Visitor (DS9)
Jake Sisko as an old man receives a visit from a young

plasma leak from the warp core of the defiant in front of his son's eyes.
Jake takes it very badly and hangs around on the station. One night his
father appears in his room and stays for only a moment or two. No one can
find a trace of his visit and no further progress can be made; a year or so
later he reappears and stays for longer during which time he is examined by
Dax, Bashir and Worf. When he disappears again, Jake finally gets on with
his own life back on Earth. When his father reappears yet again he starts on

reveals that his is dying but that he has finally found a way to bring his
father back, but at a terrible price.

an interference pattern, they crash on the planet. Seeking cover from
trigemic vapors, Paris and Neelix seal themselves inside a cave and then

and her beloved Mark appears; Paris faces off with his disparaging father,
the Admiral; Kim is finally reunited with his girlfriend, Libby; Tuvok talks

unfamiliar power source floating in space, Chief Engineer B'Elanna Torres is

sentient artificial lifeform, Automated Unit 3947, explains that its kind is
near extinction and asks Torres to build a prototype for construction of
more units. In accordance with the Prime Directive, Torres must decline the
request, but when 3947's Pralor homeship is located, the robot abducts her
and threatens to destroy Voyager unless she constructs the prototype.
Alliances (VGR)
After Voyager is severely attacked by Kazon and one of its
