The '''Akritirians''' are a warp-capable civilization native to the planet [[Akritiri]], in the [[Delta Quadrant]]. They are [[humanoid]], with a slight ridging on their forehead.
They have an oppressive government and a system of justice that, by the standards of the [[Federation]], is cruel, draconian and inhumane. In this system, once a person is convicted of a crime, the conviction can not be overturned, even if conclusive evidence that proves his innocence iss is uncovered. He would be sentenced to life in a brutal prison: the Akritirian maximum security detention facility. There, the prisoners are induced to kill each other through [[synaptic]] manipulation.
A violent group called Open Sky acts against the government. Although considered terrorists by the government, they regard themselves as patriots.
The '''Botha''' are a reclusive, apparently [[humanoid]] species who inhabit a region of space in the [[Delta Quadrant]]. Hostile to outsiders, most vessels which enter their space are never seen again.
In 2372, the USS Voyager entered their space and attempted to negotiate passage. Almost the entire crew was neutralized in an elaborate series of [[hallucination]]shallucinations, apparently caused by a powerful [[psionic]] field generated by three Bothan ships. The [[hallucination]]s hallucinations began with various elements from the target's memory, and gradually became more inclusive until the person entered a comatose state, trapped in a fantasy reality.
The Bothan [[telepathy]] was defeated by Kes, who was able to "mirror" their attacks back onto the perpetrator. This allowed her to trigger a resonance burst from the warp core, which blocked the Bothan's [[psionic]] field. However, both the Bothan on ''Voyager'' and his ships were illusions, disappearing after informing Captain Kathryn Janeway that he had no reason for attacking them other than that he could. The Botha's true nature was never discovered.
