Chell

Species:	Bolian
Affiliation:	Maquis Federation Starfleet
Rank:	Crewman (provisional)
Status:	Active (2378)
Played by:	Derek McGrath

Chell was a Bolian formerly affiliated with the Maquis, until he was trapped in the Delta Quadrant and forced to serve on the USS Voyager.

In 2371, Chell was a crewmember aboard Chakotay's Maquis raider, the Val Jean. He and the rest of the crew were transported to the Delta Quadrant by the Caretaker.

Following the destruction of the Val Jean, Chell joined the crew of the USS Voyager, and was given the provisional rank of crewman in the engineering division. Chell found it difficult to adapt to the rigid structure aboard Voyager, developing a reputation for being both unreliable and overly talkative, to the point of disruptiveness. As a result, he was one of several Maquis members who were trained by Lieutenant Tuvok in late 2371. (VOY: "Learning Curve")

Chell never became comfortable with the Starfleet members on Voyager and this mistrust became evident when members of the Maquis were attacked by a mysterious assailant in early 2377. (VOY: "Repression")

When B'Elanna Torres was pregnant with Miral in 2377, Chell gave the father, Tom Paris, the advice that, according to Bolian beliefs it would improve the baby's disposition if it was born near a warp core. (VOY: "Lineage")

One of the duties of Q Junior when he was doing service aboard Voyager was to help Chell scrub the plasma conduits. (VOY: "Q2")

Chell recommended to Harry Kim to visit the Flame Gardens on Ledos when going on shore leave there. (VOY: "Natural Law")

After Neelix left the ship later that year, Chell petitioned Captain Janeway to be made the new chef, and proposed some interesting additions to the menu, including Plasma Leak Soup, Chicken Warp Core-don Bleu, and Red Alert Chili. Tom Paris later suggested he should add nebula soup to the menu after piloting Voyager through a Borg-infested nebula. (VOY: "Endgame")

Chell was played by Derek McGrath, who also provided the voice for Chell in Star Trek: Voyager - Elite Force. In Star Trek: Elite Force II, Chell was voiced by Andy Milder.
