In 2374, a visionary Alpha decided that the USS Voyager's holodecks would allow his people to continue the hunt tradition safely while regrouping to preserve their homeless, ever-dispersed culture. Despite his assassination, a younger successor agreed to follow through with the plan and use Kathryn Janeway's gift of a holo-program's optronic datacore. Unfortunately, the Hirogen misused that technology and programmed their prey to be overly cunning and adaptive — in order to make their hunts more "challenging" — and essentially gave those holograms self-awareness and a desire for liberation. Three years after receiving the holographic technology, disaster ensued at several Hirogen training facilities where the prey killed their hunters and escaped to free others of their kind and find a home to call their own. | |||
While the Hirogen are initially a major threat to Voyager, the Starfleet crew eventually help the Hirogen to solve problems arising from their way of life, leading to a de facto truce. | While the Hirogen are initially a major threat to Voyager, the Starfleet crew eventually help the Hirogen to solve problems arising from their way of life, leading to a de facto truce. | ||
