A male Vhnori
Vhnori script
The Vhnori are a class 5 humanoid, native to the Vhnori homeworld.
The Vhnori world is the site of many naturally-occurring subspace vacuoles, and these form the core of the Vhnori death tradition. They originally placed the bodies of the dead into these vacuoles believing that this would transport them to the Vhnori afterlife, called the Next Emanation.
Over time, this practice became combined with euthanasia. Vhnori citizens entered a device known as a cenotaph that killed them just before a vacuole opened.
Unknown to the Vhnori, the vacuoles actually led to a planet in the Delta Quadrant. On this planet, the bodies of their dead had been piling up for thousands of years, resulting in the only known concentration of element 247.
All this was accidentally discovered by Harry Kim of the USS Voyager when he was accidentally drawn through one of the vacuoles to the Vhnori homeworld in 2371. He returned using one of the cenotaphs, having seriously disturbed the Vhnori's faith. However, it was discovered that an unusual amount of neural energy existed in the planet's rings, perhaps implying that the Vhnori afterlife may not be completely without foundation. (VOY: "Emanations")
- Lieutenant Fuchida's make up in DS9: "Prodigal Daughter" was a re-use of the Vhnori make up, implying that his species is either very similar to them, or that the Vhnori homeworld (whose location wasn't mentioned) was in fact near Federation space.
