Night Alien
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.
The Night Aliens were a species who lived in a region called The Void in the Delta Quadrant.
Because there were no stars or other systems in the area that produced light, this race was fully adapted to living in total darkness. Technologically, they were relatively advanced and used a dampening field to drain energy from encroaching ships.
The Night Aliens had been infected by toxic chemicals that were being dumped into their region of space by the Malon. They were later encountered by the crew of the USS Voyager in 2375, who assisted the Night Aliens in stopping the Malon from any further pollution. (VOY: "Night")
- The presence of a humanoid species implies the presence of planets without a sun.
[edit] Background Information
- The Night Alien was played by Steve Dennis, in his first of a number of roles in the Star Trek universe.
- In Trekkies 2, Ethan Phillips remarked that they would call this guy "captain's log" because he resembled a "big turd."
