A Delta Quadrant species known as educators, explorers, and above all artists - until the phage hit them two millennia ago. Thousands of Vidiians die each day, and organ harvesting is the only way to survive; corpses are preferred, but in an emergency they may be taken from a living body. A honatta helps a patron find the appropriate organs. Despite the disease and lack of conscience in this area, the culture somehow goes on: Motura, one of the only living Vidiians known to Voyager, is a sculptor. The disease leaves them weakened, requiring slave labour to do such tasks as mining.
Space-faring, their medical technology is much higher advanced than the United Federation of Planets norm, including immunogenicity. They are not familiar with holographic imaging, and their power systems may use a dilithium matrix.
