The Vaskans were a warp-capable species from the Delta Quadrant. Physically, they were humanoids with straight hair and golden skin. In 2374 they negotiated a trading agreement with the USS Voyager for medical supplies in exchange for dilithium. However before the agreement could come into force, Voyager was boarded by a group of Kyrians. Their leader, Tedran, was killed by the Vaskan ambassador and, after further Kyrian attacks, Voyager swiftly departed.
