 Voyager is pulled into a sub-space corridor, traveling 200 light-years until pushed out by the Turei who claim ownership of the labyrinth. After refusing to let the Turei wipe Voyager s computer of data regarding the corridors, the ship lands on a nearby planet. 900 years ago the population sought shelter from nuclear winter in stasis pods, intent on waking 5 years later. As Voyager helps the Vaadwaur rebuild, Neelix and Seven of Nine uncover historical data that the Vaadwaur were once ruthless conquerers in the Delta Quadrant. Uncovering the Vaadwaur plot to steal Voyager and her technology, Janeway must try to wiggle free from the Turei above and the Vaadwaur below.
