In this episode, the Federation starship Voyager, alone in the Delta Quadrant, is lured into a trap which leads to the ship being commandeered by the hostile Kazon, who forcibly remove the ship's crew to an inhospitable planet.
This was a two-part episode, but in two different seasons; Part I aired on May 20, 1996 as the finale of Season 2 and Part II aired on September 4, 1996 as the opener of Season 3.[1][2] The show was originally broadcast on the UPN network.[3]
Parts I & II were written by Michael Piller and directed by Winrich Kolbe.[1][2]
These are the last two episodes of Star Trek written by Piller, who left the series after the second season as the day-to-day executive producer of the series. He would be credited as a Creative Consultant for the remainder of the series' run, though his last contribution to the franchise would be Star Trek: Insurrection two years later.
The episodes were also later released on VHS, LaserDisc, and DVD.
