Brax

Brax was a Talaxian and only son of Dexa. His father was killed by a Phanos security patrol.

Brax was a curious boy, just like his father was. In 2378 he met Neelix, a Talaxian who lived on board USS Voyager, whose vessel crashedlanded on the asteroid Brax lived on. Although he was forbidden by his mother to visit Neelix, he did. When Neelix mentioned to Brax that he should not be visiting him, he told him he lived here and could not be told to go away. Brax learned that Neelix came from the starship USS Voyager and asked him if he could visit the ship sometime. Later on Brax visited Neelix in the Delta Flyer, which was the crashed vessel. When Tuvok asked Neelix who he was, Neelix told him Brax was an old friend.

When Neelix suggested to his mother to visit Captain Kathryn Janeway to talk about the Talaxians dispute with Commander Nocona over the mining rights about the asteroid field they lived in, Brax got his opportunity to visit Voyager.

Brax, together with his mother got the grand-tour about Voyager. They visted the bridge were he was introduced to Ensign Harry Kim and the rest of the bridge crew. Here Brax learned that Neelix did not have his own workstation because of the many duties he performed. When they arrived at Astrometrics, Neelix showed them an image of Talax.

When they were onroute to Main Engineering, they were interrupted by Naomi Wildman. She asked if Brax could go with her to the holodeck now Neelix had no time to play Kadis-kot with her. Brax never heard of a holodeck and was anxious to try it out. Together with Naomi they ran Tom Paris his holoprogram "Invaders from the Ninth Dimension"

Afterwards in the Mess hall, Brax was told by Naomi about the transporter accident where Neelix and Tuvok were combined into a whole different person, Tuvix. When Neelix entered he asked if he would play a game of Kadis-kot with him and Naomi, but Neelix told him "Maybe later". When Neelix finished talking to his mother, Brax had to go with her to return to their asteroid.

Brax was surprised when Neelix decided to leave Voyager and embraced him, together with his mother, when he entered their quarters. Neelix would become his stepfather somewhere in 2378. (VOY: "Homestead")

Brax was played by Ian Meltzer.
