Ocampa

The Ocampa are a humanoid species native to the planet Ocampa, located in the Delta Quadrant. The Ocampa have a capacity for great mental skills and telepathy, but their lives on the planet means that these mental powers go unusued. Strangely for a humanoid species, their life-spans only last around 9 years.

In the 14th century, the Ocampa were first to move to a subterranean city created by the Nacene after they accidentally removed or nucleogenic particles from the planets atmosphere. For the next 1,500 years the Ocampa were provided for by the Caretaker, who provided power to the city from his array. However, this support ended in 2371 when the Caretaker died, however he had provided enough energy to support them until 2376. (VOY episode: "Caretaker").
