AT: "at" The Nihydron were a spacefaring species in the Delta Quadrant native to a region of space near the Krenim Imperium.
In one possible timeline in 2374, three Nihydron warships joined the USS Voyager in its attack on the Krenim weapon ship. B'Elanna Torres and Harry Kim were assigned to work with the Nihydron to implement temporal shielding aboard their ships. (VOY: "Year of Hell, Part II")
The current state of the Nihydron Empire is unknown, after the temporal weapon ship was erased from time, undoing all the damage it had done.
Species 10026 ships shown in "Dark Frontier" are identical to the Nihydron ships shown in "Year of Hell".
Apocrypha
- Star Trek Online's Delta Rising expansion reveals that in the restored timeline, the Nihydron were allied with the Krenim Imperium until the Krenim were defeated by the resurgent Vaadwaur.
- The Nihydron will reappear in the 2016 novel A Pocket Full of Lies. The novel will depict a second iteration of the Federation's first contact with the species, since the events of the Year of Hell - where the USS Voyager made first contact with them in 2374 - were erased from history.
