Vorans

Spindly barely humanoid aliens. Identified by the Borg as Species 8472, Vorans are a faction that left fluidic space to explore the galaxy. They settled on the planet Voran in the Beta Quadrant. Years of mocking and torment led made them bitter and caused them to create a powerful, ruthless Imperium that spread terror throughout the galaxy. ("The Dark Fleet, The Lesser of Two Evils" [BAN]). Vorans are nonetheless capable of considerable affection towards outsiders. One example is Warlord Sorinak, who fell in love with Starship Banshee head scientist Dr. Elizabeth Lang over a subspace chat service. ("Cupid's Arrow" [BAN]). Other Vorans believe that they should not continue to torment others and that they should no longer seek the conquest of the galaxy. One such person is Captain Jevon of the warship Sivax, who destroyed his ship and himself with it to stop the Vorans from taking over the Federation. ("Dark Horizon" [BAN]). Vorans are carnivorous and feast mainly of insects. A delicacy of theirs is Flarn, cooked a number of different ways. Flarn are a ruthless Delta Quadrant species who ironically eat Humans. ("The Dark Fleet Part II" [BAN], "[[The Road To Nowhere - Pt. 2]" [VEX]).
