Alternate Voyager: The Kazon

“Alternate Voyager” is an ongoing series where we spin some of the great premises of Voyager into our own alternate fan fiction. This week, we tackle our version of the Kazon.
The best recurring aliens in Star Trek have a strong core concept that presents a philosophy or disposition that is both clear and different from human values but has room for nuance. This goes for allies and adversaries. They have to be a species viewers want to learn more about, not simply weird looking people that fly around in cool ships acting as plot obstructions.
Though a mildly interesting tribal system developed as the Kazon were explored in Voyager, they were never defined very well, so in Alternate Voyager we’re going to drastically change them. A lot of their new characteristics will echo original premises, and they’ll also play an important role in our alternate first season of Voyager.

For example some people reserve the top score for only the best episodes ever made, while others give the top rating for episodes that are merely the best of the season.
