NAME: Kes
RANK: N/A
ROLE: Ex Medical assistant, USS Voyager NCC 74656[no longer a member of the crew]
RACE: Ocampa
Ocampa usually only live for nine years. Kes lived as part of an underground society on
the Ocampa Homeworld. By the time she was one year old, she was an adult in Ocampa terms.
She chose to try to get to the surface, but she was captured by the Kazon Ogla and rescued
by Voyager. The Doctor, without any qualified medical staff, recruits Kes to be a first
aider, and then a full time medical assistant. It is during this time that she discovers
that she has a photographic memory and has telepathic abilities. Tuvok, another telepath
teaches Kes to use and increase her powers. Her training is interrupted when a space
station is found with Ocampa on board(Cold Fire). Here Tanis teaches her
telekinesis and how to destroy using just a thought. Her mental powers were only temporary
increased, and when Voyager leaves she returns to normal.
Throughout most of her time on voyager, Kes is in love with her Talaxian boyfriend,
Neelix. He is deeply jealous with any man that goes near her, especially Tom Paris. After
Kes and Neelix break up, she falls in love with another man, Zahir. She decides that she
wants to leave Voyager and travel the galaxy with him, but after he suffers an accident
she decides that she wants to stay with her friends.
For a time, Kes is taken over by an evil warlord, Tieran. He is obsessed with immortality
and uses Kes's body as another host. He is thwarted by the crew of Voyager, but the
experience leaves Kes deeply affected. In an alternate timeline, Kes lives her life in
reverse. She marries Tom Paris, and has a daughter and grand daughter. The goes back to
live through part of Voyager's "Year of Hell" , coming under constant attack
from the Krenom. Radiation leaking from temporal torpedoes causes Kes's time travelling.
She has now influenced the timeline to such an extent that they cannot possibly go through
that timeline.
Kes causes a new timeline to unfold, where Voyager meets the Borg and Species 8472(Scorpion,
parts I+II). 8472's telepathic messages to Kes tell her of their plans, and also
heighten her own mental abilities. After the Borg defeat 8472 with Voyager's help, Kes
finds herself out of control (The Gift). She becomes a threat to the ship and
decides to leave, exiting out of our space-time continuum. As a final girt, Kes propels
them 10,000 light years closer to home, and out of Borg space. Kes is no longer a member
of the crew.
