The Vaskans are a warp-capable species from the Delta Quadrant. Physically, they are humanoids with straight hair and golden skin.
Known History
In 2374, they negotiated a trading agreement with the USS Voyager, for medical supplies in exchange for dilithium.
However, before the agreement could be executed, Voyager was boarded by a group of Kyrians.
The Kyrian leader was killed by the Vaskan ambassador. Following more Kyrian attacks, the USS Voyager quickly left the system.
The Vaskan/Kyrian war that erupted over the incident was devastating to the Kyrian people, and resulted in an almost total victory for
the Vaskan people.
The Future
By the 31st century, the two races will live side-by-side, but the Kyrians will be regarded as second-class citizens. Kyrian history will include references to what was known as "The Voyager Encounter." After seven centuries, the Kyrian view of the event will be hugely distorted. They will believe that Voyager was a warship that had been hired by the Vaskans to attack Kyrian space and that the Vaskans gave them the location of a wormhole in exchange. In their version of events, Voyager used biogenic weapons to cause mass deaths on the Kyrian homeworld and killed Tedran, who was by then regarded as Kyrian martyr.
This version of events will be put forward by Quarren in his Kyrian Museum of Heritage. He will discover a back-up copy of The Doctor in a module found beneath a Kyrian city.
(This device had originally been stolen by the Kyrians in their attack, and The Doctor had lain dormant in it ever since.)
After he is reactivated, The Doctor will be considered a war criminal. However, he will explain the real history of the Kyrian/Vaskan conflict. Although this will cause the old tensions between the two races to once again boil over, it will lead to a new understanding between them and eventually create a harmonious society.
