Rebellion Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Arr so im like curious as to what happened to the ocampa, seeing as the caretaker dropped dead and all. Any facts about what happened or does anyone have some theory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenofNine Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Interesting question. There are several possibilities: They died out. The destruction caused by the Kazon may have damaged their city enough that they were forced to emigrate to the surface, where they couldn't survive. They managed. The damage may not have been so bad, and they may have been able to go on for some time. Remember that the Caretaker was supplying them with as much energy as he could. What do I imagine... that the other group of Ocampa, from "Cold Fire," seek them out and they join in a larger community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 The Ocampa in Caretaker were a pretty pathetic bunch, probably died out. They're a bit of a loser race really, they live like a whole 5 years! Ah well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest c4evap Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Remember that the Caretaker was supplying them with as much energy as he could. If I remember correctly...he supplied them with enough power to last five years. BTW Rebellion...the spelling of Ocampa is correct (according to http://www.startrek.com ) c4 B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they live that short and they have the ability to learn very quickly, that means they have the possibility to evolve very rapidly. Live fast, die young, in a different meaning here... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFMF Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 We have already seen Ocampa living on places other than their homeworld so they can probably escape from their world and find somewhere else to live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenofNine Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 They're a bit of a loser race really, they live like a whole 5 years! Ah well. Expected lifespan for an Ocampa on their planet was 9 years. In "Cold Fire" Tanis states that he's already 14 and expects to live some time longer.

Tenebrae Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 The ones in Cold Fire also had their awesome mind powers. That Kes had for like... one episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest c4evap Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I'll have to check but I think she had them for more than just one EP. c4 B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I was exaggerating... She doesn't REALLY show them more than maybe 3 times (including her return in Rage was it? Or Fury... yeah, whatever). And she also does a few things where she shows ESP... if she'd got as much screen time as 7, she'd probably have got to develop them a bit more. Ah well, she was another casualty of a lack of continuity. Which is a shame. Ah yes, the three episode, Cold Fire, The Gift and Fury (or whatever) are the ones that come to mind. Fury was pretty awesome, she went MENTAL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest c4evap Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 You're right. They didn't use her enough...which is strange considering the way her character was introduced (along with Neelix and the Kazon). I had figured she'd be an integral member of the crew. Maybe it was because she wasn't considered "sexy" enough??? c4 :thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenebrae Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I always thought she was pretty hot... but I was thinking on it and really, she wasn't so much part of the regular cast as a recurring character. It's no wonder she doesn't have the same recognition that 7 has. I mean, how many "Kes episodes" were there? Not many... I struggle to think of more than a couple. They really ought to have given her some awesome mind powers... it might have been nice if instead of Janeway telling Harry to push the thingybob warp plasma shoebox button, Kes just went "I'll use my oft forgotten mind powers."

TFMF Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I would have thought the fact that Kes's species only lived 9 years would have been another factor - i think she could have had some great episodes - but by season 6 we already saw she looked really old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
