Arturis, a member of species 116
Arturis was a male member of a species known only by its Borg designation, Species 116. Arturis was a highly skilled linguist and cryptologist, having learned over 4000 languages, he was also able to decipher any spoken or written language almost instantly, like a living universal translator, an ability posessed by his species.
In early 2374 Arturis' people were assimilated by the Borg after centuries of successful resistance. Arturis was one of only 20,000 people who escaped the Borg and was lucky to have his own ship. He blamed the crew of the starship USS Voyager, in particular Captain Kathryn Janeway, for his species defeat at the hand of the Borg after the Voyager crew had aided the Borg in their fight against Species 8472 and as such, decided to exact revenge on them.
After months of searching, he found and tracked Voyager. He traveled for several months, learning all he could about the ship and crew, and was even able to learn about the Starfleet message that had been sent to Voyager. Using the Starfleet message, he devised a trap where by he used particle synthesis technology to recreate the appearance of a Starfleet vessel on his own ship. Then, after making contact with Voyager, he planted evidence in the Starfleet message he claimed to have decrypted which lured to the crew to his ship, making them think that it was the USS Dauntless, a ship sent by Starfleet to the Delta Quadrant that would bring them home using quantum slipstream drive.
Initially, he was successful. However his plans began to unravel when the crew decrypted the actual Starfleet message and attempted to apprehend Arturis. He escaped however, capturing Janeway and Seven of Nine. He set his ship to return to his homeworld, now in Borg space, so that they would be assimilated as punishment. He was unsuccessful in this as well, as they managed to escape. Arturis' ship continued on towards Borg space, where it was captured and Arturis was assimilated.(VOY: "Hope and Fear")
- Arturis was played by Ray Wise.
