Star Trek: Voyager
IDWs forthcoming revival ofStar Trek: Voyagerneeds to fix the shows failed villains.
Janeway notices that Kazon Raider is using different tactics than the others they have encountered.
Later,Voyageranswers a distress call from the planet Praja.
Between the two shows, the galaxy was getting a lot bigger.
InVoyagerspilot episode, titled The Caretaker, Starfleet had its first encounter with the Kazon.
Intended to beVoyagersmain antagonist, they unfortunately fell flat in the long run.
The Kazon situation closely mirrored that of the Ferengi.
Originally intended to be the primary villains forThe Next Generation,the goofy-looking Ferengi failedto land as adversaries.
They were big, imposing and savage.
Accoring toStar Treklore, the Borg deemed the Kazon “unworthy” of assimilation.
In time, the Borg, and to a lesser extent the Viidians, became the ships primary nemesis.
Outside a few cameos on otherStar Trekshows, such asProdigy, the Kazon have been few and far between.
Yet, they never reached the heights of the Kazon inStar Trek: Voyager#4.
Praja went from a beautiful world to a hellscape.
For fans who were used to the less-than-stellar ways of the Kazon-Nistrom, this sect is downright jarring.
Whether the Kazon created this virus is never revealed, but they used it nonetheless.
