* FantasticRacism: They're not too keen on "mammals". Non-mammals they can accept as ''almost'' equals. They do have exceptions. The Voth [[spoiler: are allied with the Turei, an exothermic race, because they're better at dealing with mammalian politics, which shows some awareness of their stupidity]].
* FreudianExcuse: The reason why they're not helping us? Because we're there. Oh, and they're still sore about their encounter with ''Voyager''.
* HigherTechSpecies: They'e more advanced than the species of the Dyson alliance, but their own arrogance and inability to take the "mammals" seriously undermines their advantage. This really bites them on the ass in Delta Rising, as [[spoiler:the Vaadwaur have picked up some hyper advanced tech that can wipe out their Citadel City Ships in a few seconds]].
* InternalRetcon: By this point, the higher-ups sure as hell know that they're not the first species and they're doing their damnedest to keep their version of the truth as the truth. [[spoiler:One Voth scientist has realized that this is going to destroy everyone because of the Iconians]]. It's so awful that in Delta Rising, on the Turei Homeworld, the Voth commander refuses to accept that the player and their crew just saved the Turei despite the Voth getting asswhipped. The player doesn't take this well, but the Turei just tells both of them to shut up.
* LawfulStupid: Thirty years later, they're still using the Doctrine as an excuse for all of their actions.
* MechaMooks: Oh, plenty of them. They usually attack in packs of three and are armed with plenty of antiproton weaponry.
* MightyGlacier: Voth ships are big and slow by game standards, but are heavily armed and can throw up force fields that render them invulnerable in specific directions for a few seconds (the bigger ones reflect incoming fire back at the attacker). This went a long way to reducing the dominance of escorts in the metagame.
* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: You can obtain Voth [=DOFFs=] for your crew. These are the guys who think the Doctrine is a load of hoopla.

By the midpoint of ''Delta Rising'''s main story arc they're clearly on the back foot and [[spoiler:don't even respond to their Turei allies' SOS when the Vaadwaur launch a second invasion of Turei Prime]].
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler:The Turei pull this on the Voth after you save their world ''again'' from the Vaadwaur and the Voth were nowhere in sight. When the Turei ambassador attempts to keep with the Voth, you can point out that they're still not there. It goes far in realizing that, oh hey, we do need to live on, don't we?]]

->'''Played by:''' Creator/LiamOBrien
The leader of the Vaadwaur.
----
* {{Expy}}: He's a lot like Hakeev in several respects, both of them villains with terrible sentient rights records who [[spoiler:willingly sold out their own people to the Iconians for personal power]]. Gaul lacks Hakeev's hamminess, however, being more of a SoftSpokenSadist.
* EvilVirtues[=/=]AFatherToHisMen: He's fiercely loyal to the troops being held in stasis by the Kobali, to the point where he's fully prepared to wipe the Kobali out to a man in order to retrieve them. [[spoiler:Except he had his generals infested with bluegills, which casts some doubt on how much is devotion to his people and how much is his own prejudice and delusions of grandeur.]]
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: Until "All that Glitters" the worst thing the Vaadwaur have been shown to have done[[note]]Some texts to be found in "Know Your Enemies" indicate the Vaadwaur are quicker to resort to orbital bombardment and mass exterminations than the Klingons, but while the described events happened earlier "Know Your Enemies" itself happens after "All that Glitters"[[/note]] is be imperialist conquerors (they're really objectively no more evil than the Klingons). In the aforementioned mission Gaul lures you to a face-to-face meeting with what sounds like an offer of a peace settlement, with the stipulation that the Kobali release to him the cache of stasis chambers containing Vaadwaur soldiers from the 15th century whom they've been using as reproductive stock. (See also the DesignatedHero entry on the YMMV tab.) Sounds perfectly reasonable at first, but [[spoiler:then he says he wants the Alliance to pull a FaceHeelTurn. Upon being informed that the Alliance wants ''actual'' peace, as in an end to the Supremacy's war of conquest, he loses his shit, starts gunning down Talaxians, and blames you for it.]]
* NeverMyFault: When you attempt to broker peace with the Vaadwaur, he promptly throws a fit when you refuse to join him in conquering the quadrant, [[spoiler:''kills the Talaxians at the asteroid base they were at'']], then accuses you of laying a trap.
* NotBrainwashed: [[spoiler: Was never infected with the Bluegill. He willingly allied with them and the Iconians.]]
* SoftSpokenSadist: He's reasonably polite and tends to speak quietly.

[[quoteright:274:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/d988a2a687b50bd7f32258f040f7e272.png]]
A subordinate of Gaul's who incites a civil war among the Vaadwaur [[spoiler: when he learns about the Bluegill.]]
----
* GoodIsNotNice[=/=]IDidWhatIHadToDo: In "Revolution" he, Seven of Nine, and the PlayerCharacter go on a covert operation to [[spoiler:unmask Gaul and the bluegills]]. When a Benthan ship, members of the Delta Alliance, blunders into this op, Eldex tells you to kill them. It's not out of active malice, but because they're a security risk: they could blow the op if they report in. Seven is understandably against and gives both of you a WhatTheHellHero speech if you kill the Benthans.
* PistolWhip: Smacks Gaul in the face with a rifle, knocking him into the pit where the player's away team is and giving them the opportunity to take him out.
* PutOnABus: He hasn't been seen since ''Delta Rising''. Interestingly, it appears that [[spoiler:at least some Vaadwaur are still supporting the Iconians despite Eldex's forces supposedly winning the civil war. So it's possibly he was either deposed or infested by a Bluegill.]]
* TokenHeroicOrc: [[spoiler: After he finds out about the Bluegills, he leads a portion of the Vaadwaur in rebellion against Gaul.]] Though heroic may be an exaggeration -- [[spoiler: he was on-board with Gaul's plans up until finding out about the Bluegill, and later in "Dust to Dust" he sends troops back to Kobali Prime when they think the Vaadwaur in the stasis chambers are waking up, with dialogue explaining he turned uncooperative with the Alliance once he was in control of Vaadwaur forces]].
* TheUnfettered: [[spoiler: All he cares about is freeing his people from the Bluegill and Gaul, nothing else.]]

! The Kobali
[[folder: General]]
A race of humanoids who specialize in reviving the dead to repopulate their numbers.
----
* CultureJustifiesEverything: The Kobali's big problem (in- and out-of-universe) is their manner of population, by reviving the dead. Many people don't like that and those who are revived try to return to their old lives and tend to get shunted back into the Kobali's lifestyle.
* DarkSecret: [[spoiler:Their homeworld of Kobali Prime is also a former Vaadwaur colony and they've been reviving Vaadwaur as their own. Even more, they have the body of the real Harry Kim and they want to bring him into their ranks.]]

Formerly USS ''Voyager'' engineering officer Lyndsay Ballard, she was revived and turned into a Kobali decades ago. Oddly, she seemed not to keep in contact with Harry Kim...
* BelligerentSexualTension: With Harry, by the truckload. She and Harry met at the Academy and he had a major crush on her until her death (although she apparently had him friend-zoned in her own mind). They spend almost the entirety of "Dust to Dust" arguing in the background. [[spoiler:Makes her treatment of Keten more than a little creepy.]]
* DarkSecret: [[spoiler:She knew the Kobali had the body of the original Harry Kim and what they were going to do with it.]]
* HumansAreSpecial: {{Discussed}} briefly. She suspects that some human physiological quirk may be responsible for how vividly a Kobali-revived human seems to recall their past life.
* InkSuitActor: Her model is a reproduction of Kim Rhodes-as-Jhet'leya in the Kobalis' debut episode [[Series/StarTrekVoyager VOY]]: "[[Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS6E18AshesToAshes Ashes to Ashes]]".

[[folder: Keten]]
[[spoiler:The revived original Harry Kim, transforming into a Kobali]]
* FishOutOfTemporalWater: [[spoiler:He still thinks it's the 2370s, ''Voyager'' is still out there trying to get home and he's doing everything he can to get home. Unfortunately, it's 2410 and ''Voyager'' is doing something classified up in Krenim space. Harry's attempts to get in touch would blow the mission and get Tuvok and Co. killed so there's some urgency in stopping him.]]
* SlowTransformation: [[spoiler:Throughout "Dust to Dust", you see Harry Kim's transformation into a Kobali. It's really unnerving.]]
[[/folder]]
----
[[folder: General]]
A race of lizard-like humanoid creatures said to have evolved from dinosaurs that live in the Delta Quadrant. They seek to control the Solanae Dyson Sphere and the Omega Particles within because of the Doctrine.
----
* FantasticRacism: They're not too keen on "mammals". Non-mammals they can accept as ''almost'' equals. They do have exceptions. The Voth [[spoiler: are allied with the Turei, an exothermic race, because they're better at dealing with mammalian politics, which shows some awareness of their stupidity]].
* FreudianExcuse: The reason why they're not helping us? Because we're there. Oh, and they're still sore about their encounter with ''Voyager''.
* HigherTechSpecies: They'e more advanced than the species of the Dyson alliance, but their own arrogance and inability to take the "mammals" seriously undermines their advantage. This really bites them on the ass in Delta Rising, as [[spoiler:the Vaadwaur have picked up some hyper advanced tech that can wipe out their Citadel City Ships in a few seconds]].
* InternalRetcon: By this point, the higher-ups sure as hell know that they're not the first species and they're doing their damnedest to keep their version of the truth as the truth. [[spoiler:One Voth scientist has realized that this is going to destroy everyone because of the Iconians]]. It's so awful that in Delta Rising, on the Turei Homeworld, the Voth commander refuses to accept that the player and their crew just saved the Turei despite the Voth getting asswhipped. The player doesn't take this well, but the Turei just tells both of them to shut up.
* LawfulStupid: Thirty years later, they're still using the Doctrine as an excuse for all of their actions.
* MechaMooks: Oh, plenty of them. They usually attack in packs of three and are armed with plenty of antiproton weaponry.
* MightyGlacier: Voth ships are big and slow by game standards, but are heavily armed and can throw up force fields that render them invulnerable in specific directions for a few seconds (the bigger ones reflect incoming fire back at the attacker). This went a long way to reducing the dominance of escorts in the metagame.
* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: You can obtain Voth [=DOFFs=] for your crew. These are the guys who think the Doctrine is a load of hoopla.
* NoSell: Their ships have a special barrier that protects them from all weaponry. Even worse, they can reflect it right back at you.
* PaperTiger: Despite their millions of years of existence and enormous technologically advanced ships, the Alpha Quadrant nations, [[spoiler:Undine]], and Vaadwaur rip them up in space and they're barely holding off the Borg. By the midpoint of ''Delta Rising'''s main story arc they're clearly on the back foot and [[spoiler:don't even respond to their Turei allies' SOS when the Vaadwaur launch a second invasion of Turei Prime]].
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler:The Turei pull this on the Voth after you save their world ''again'' from the Vaadwaur and the Voth were nowhere in sight. When the Turei ambassador attempts to keep with the Voth, you can point out that they're still not there. It goes far in realizing that, oh hey, we do need to live on, don't we?]]
* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler:The Tier 4 Dyson cutscene is proving more and more that they have absolutely no idea what they're doing with the Omega particles and those like Nelan below realize that they're heading towards something dangerous. They want to use Omega Particles to obliterate subspace around their territory for the express purpose of walling out the Borg. They don't care if they're forever isolated or worse, isolating other races - they've entered a SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum and they're [[TakingYouWithMe taking everyone with them]] just to have their victory]].
* TheWorfEffect:
** To show that [[spoiler:the Undine]] are back in full force, a Voth Dreadnought, which usually takes an entire team of players to shoot down, is shot out of the sky unceremoniously in one shot. [[note]]Then again, the beam in question that destroyed them has been seen to destroy planets...[[/note]]
** And again in Season 9, as the Voth fleet that was unaccessable in the Voth Zone of the Dyson's Sphere [[spoiler: is destroyed by the Undine and three Planet Killers that they had on hand]].
** And once MORE in Delta Rising, [[spoiler: to show how utterly badass the Vaadwaur are]].

[[folder: Nelen Exil]]
A Voth scientist who contacts the player to send intel while trying to get his people to accept the truth.
----
* OnlySaneMan: The only Voth who seems to understand they're getting their ass kicked.
* WhatTheHellHero: Gives this to the Ministry of Elders on a regular basis. They don't believe him and are trying to suppress his research. Though the early-tier videos give the impression that he doesn't do it, but would ''like'' to do it if it wasn't for the fact that he's seen what happens to people who veer too close to arguing against the Elders' interpretation of Doctrine.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: In the Tier V cutscene, he has had enough: the Voth have absolutely lost it and he refuses to do anything else with it. [[spoiler:He joins your team as a Science Bridge Officer after blowing up all his research.]]
* YouDontLookLikeYou: The Nelen Exil you trade messages with in the Dyson reputation cutscenes only vaguely resembles the Nelen Exil [[spoiler:you get as a bridge officer]].

! The Vaadwaur
[[folder: General]]
A race of conquerors who were released by Seven of Nine when ''Voyager'' dropped in. The crew and later Starfleet felt they were not a threat, but something has happened in 32 years...
----
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Something has happened to make them so technologically advanced that the ''Voth'' are having trouble with them. [[spoiler: That something being Gaul secretly allying with the Iconians ''a la'' Hakeev and had his lieutenants implanted with Bluegill parasites to have them more controlled. ''Only Gaul and his most trusted lieutenants even knew about the Bluegill'' (by namely all but Gaul being one), and ONLY Gaul knew about the Iconians.]]
* EnemyCivilWar: [[spoiler:Eldex starts one in "Takedown" by revealing that Gaul's lieutenants have been infested by Bluegill, fracturing the Vaadwaur military and starting a massive war between the loyalists and those who support the Iconians.]]
* GasMaskMooks[=/=]PuttingOnTheReich: It's probably not coincidental that their soldiers' uniforms, which use a greatcoats-and-gas masks motif, bear a strong resemblance to certain Wehrmacht uniforms. They've also been compared to the [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer40000}} Death Korps of Krieg]] on the forums.
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Take a bit of the Klingons' "honor" babble, mate it to Starfleet's AFatherToHisMen tendencies, and add in some good old 20th century Earth militarism. They come off rather like popular imagery of UsefulNotes/NaziGermany and have also drawn comparisons to the Imperial Guard in ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}''.
* TheReptilians: The Vaadwaur have features reminiscent of anole lizards or cobras, namely the bell-like throat flaps.
* SkewedPriorities: According to files hidden within one of their stasis centers, they had a very skewed idea as to who to give priority to, giving teachers and the like low priority while soldiers and children (to replenish lost soldiers) were given higher priority. This meant that, even if they ''did'' get back into the swing of things, all the Vaadwaur would know to do is fight and not much else.
