Benthan

High Justicar Mathan, a male Benthan

The Benthans are a humanoid species native to the Delta Quadrant and members of the Delta Alliance.

Benthans possess advanced starships and the Benthan Guard is dedicated, sometimes fanatically, to the rule of law (to the point of legalism), and its members see themselves as a force for order in the Delta Quadrant.

Delta Rising

• “Friends in Unlikely Places”: Player is dispatched on a patrol throughout the systems of the Delta Quadrant.
  • “Argala System Patrol”: The Benthan Guard deputizes the player without further ado in order to jointly combat a group of Kazon in the Argala System.

  • “Nanipia System Patrol”: The player has to choose whether to help the Benthans in detaining a Malon ship in the Nanipia System. In case the player assists them, hired Hazari vessels will try to free the Malon. Siding with the Malon will instead force the player to fight the Benthan Guard.
  • “Orendal System Patrol”: The Hierarchy uses a captured Benthan Guard Cruiser to lure the player into trap.

  • “Ram Izad System Patrol”: The player is deputized by Benthan Guard requesting assistance in luring in and destroying several Vaadwaur vessels.

  • “Zahl System Patrol”: Player helps evacuate survivors from the Benthan colony in the Zahl System.

• “Revolution”: A Benthan cruiser intercepts the player (commanding a Vaadwaur ship at the time) in the Molinya System, threatening to compromise the mission. The player is forced to engage the Benthan ship and disable her. If the player chooses to spare the Benthans, they are then destroyed by Commander Eldex.
• “The Battle of Korfez”: Benthan vessels are a part of a Benthan Guard squadron sent to assist Harry Kim's small taskforce tasked with liberating Korfez IV. They are tasked with beaming out local colonists. Players must protect them from Vaadwaur attack.
• “Takedown”: The Benthan Guard participates in the Delta Alliance's attack on Vaadwaur Prime.
• “What's Left Behind”: A Benthan is among several races imprisoned on an Elachi subspace outpost.
• “Dust to Dust”: If the player accepts Hanchon Jetanian's assistance, Thelik of the Benthan Guard helps the Delta Alliance in repelling a Vaadwaur invasion of Kobali Prime.

Iconian War

• “Butterfly”: In a holodeck simulation showing what would happen if Voyager had not woke the Vaadwaur from stasis, the player speaks to a member of the Benthan Guard at an ill-fated attempt to form the Delta Alliance, the Benthan explaining that the Hierarchy has stepped up their aggression and escalated tensions among the other races of the Delta Quadrant.
• “Midnight”: The B.G.S. Ngaio, a Benthan Guard Cruiser, aids in the Iconian Resistance's last stand in the Sol System.

Military

According to the information discovered by the Alliance Intelligence Network, Benthan Guard ships can be a match for Alpha Quadrant technology, and cooperating with them when possible may be a far safer course of action than opposing them.
