Changes: Vidiian ship (2371-2372)

Revision as of 16:47, 20 February 2013

AT: "xx"

You may also be looking for Vidiian starship (2371).

The Vidiian starship was a massive starship utilized by the Vidiians in 2371 and 2372. This class of vessel operated with a crew of well over three hundred, and was armed with hypothermic charges and grapplers, which was used to access captured ships.

In an alternate timeline, Kes contacted one of these vessels which was used to herd USS Voyager towards a subspace vacuole where it ambushed the ship. In this 2371 timeline, Kes betrayed Voyager in exchange for transport back to her homeworld. (VOY: "Fury")

In 2372, the USS Voyager was attacked by such a ship when it was trapped in a plasma drift. At the time, Voyager was experiencing the effects of a subspace divergence field, which effectively created two ships, one of which was unseen to the Vidiians.

The Vidiians attacked one of the Voyagers and destroyed its weapons array, before maneuvering the ship into grappling range and boring an access route through Voyager's hull on deck five, before Voyager was boarded by over 347 Vidiians.

Knowing that her ship was doomed, Captain Kathryn Janeway rigged Voyager's auto-destruct, which destroyed the Vidiian ship and allowed the other Voyager to escape unharmed. (VOY: "Deadlock")

Later that year, when Harry Kim suggested to Tuvok that they should contact the Vidiians in order to help find a cure for a virus contracted by Janeway and Chakotay, Tuvok reminded Kim that Voyager was recently responsible "for the destruction of a Vidiian ship, an act which killed over three hundred of their people. That alone makes it unwise for us to contact them." (VOY: "Resolutions")

-The Vidian Starship was a massive crusier of open modular design. Size was emphazied because of the need for spacious crew quarters in order to isolate the crew from each other because of the phage. Also it's size was used to overwhlem other species ships so they could be boarded to harvest its crew's organs.
