Species 8472 Are One ofStar Trek’sGreatest Loose Ends

WhenVoyagerwas hurled into the Delta Quadrant , fans knew it would not be long before the ship would come across the Borg , who called it home . At the end ofVoyager’sthird time of year , in the sequence “ Scorpion Part One,”they eventually take on the Borg – only to learn their cybernetic opposer were on the run from another , even more frightening exotic race . These aliens , who the Borg designated Species 8472 , live in another dimension , called “ fluidic space . ” What ramify Species 8472 from the rest was their power to resist acculturation . As such , the Borg could not defeat them .

None of the contemporaryStar Trekshows have made use of Species 8472 , and with the Borg now off the table as of the early twenty-fifth century , they may never be image again .

Although Captain Janeway andVoyager’screw were able to attend the Borg in turning back Species 8472 ’s encroachment , the terrify creatures are still out there . Janeway and ship’s company would only meet Species 8472 one more clock time before refund rest home , pass on them one of the franchise ’s openhanded dangling plot lines .
