Encounter

Advanced humanoid race in which a dictatorship controls the planet, now dealing with an Open Sky group fighting to overthrow it. Pardons or rehearings in convictions and sentencing are never heard; felons are kept in an isolated spacegoing station - as the USS Voyager's Paris and Kim discovers when wrongly sent there. Prisoners are fitted with neurotransmitter clamps that stimulate an adrenaline based reaction, enhancing their aggressive tendencies. Because of this, the prison facilities are without guards or doctors, leaving the inmates to roam freely in the the hopes that they will kill one another.

Physical Appearance

The Akritirian race have a distinguishable ridge in the centre of the forehead with several horizontal smaller ridges branching off.
