Fantome's species is a humanoid specie believed to be native to The Void anomaly.
Physiology
Fantome’s species possesses a unique and extremely complex physiology. They have a very large lung capacity, which allows them to survive in a low oxygen atmosphere for a certain period of time. They also have a voracious appetite; this is probably so they can eat as much as possible to build up reserves whenever they find food.
History
They were first encountered by the crew of the USS Voyager in 2377, living covertly on the ships that were trapped inside of the spatial anomaly called The Void. They were extremely shy of the Voyager crew but with a little coaxing seemed to do fine in interacting with others as soon as they were sure they wouldn't be harmed.
They didn't posses any verbal skills, but seemed to have a non-verbal language of their own. When The Doctor taught a member of the species, Fantome, to communicate using a system of musical notes, it was in turn capable of teaching this language to other members of its species in a fraction of the time it took to learn. Seven of Nine, who had first conceived of the idea to communicate with them in this fashion, noted that the language seemed to be developing its own grammar and syntax. This indicated that they did have their own language, and The Doctor theorized it might be telepathic. They seemed just as comfortable communicating with music after learning how.
They refused an offer by Voyager to be taken out of the Void, even though this would have given them a far easier life. They considered the anomaly their home and simply requested to be beamed to a random ship in the Void. They did however show the crew of Voyager their gratitude for being welcomed on board and being treated with kindness by aiding the ship and its small group of allied ships to escape the Void by sabotaging the engines of their opponents.
It is unknown what has become of them after Voyager left the Void.
