New arrival

A new arrival was a spindly humanoid Devidian, found at the lowest ranks of the Devidians. The visitor levitated above the ground, only touching down occasionally, and was the less experienced counterpart of the visitor. 

Appearance and specifications
The new arrival was visually identical to the visitors, who shared the majority of their bony appearance with other Devidian ranks but reduced to the basic frame, and leaner. The face was dominated by a maw-like orifice on the forehead. New arrivals did not speak during encounters in their natural form. 

The new arrival and visitor varieties were both weaker than umbrals. Their strength was equivalent to the ensign-/neophyte-level compared to officers in the Alpha Quadrant Alliance. 

The new arrival did not bear visible arms, but could fire a spectral blast, which sent bolts of psionic energy at a target, ignoring the target's personal shields. After taking damage, visitors would phase-shift, which increased the strength of their abilities but lowered their resistance to proton-based damage. Another ability was exhibited in the draining of neural energy, by holding a victim and absorbing their neural energy. The ability to propel themselves towards an opponent and deal physical damage on impact was called wrathful surge. 

History
In 2409, the crew of the Starfleet ship USS Warwick fell victim to Devidians in the Great Bloom, and was later boarded by Hirogen. Another Starfleet ship arrived, cleared out the Hirogen and defeated the Devidian killers. 

In the same year, an Allied boarding party encountered Devidians aboard the True Way starship CDS in the Donatu system. On the bridge, the team found the Cardassian crew dead, with several Devidians feasting on them. The boarding party killed the Devidians and began an investigation into their activities in the sector. 

Travelling back in time to 2265 by slingshotting around Bepi 113 with their starship, an Allied team defended the residents and guests of Drozana Station's bar against attacking Devidians and defeated their leader, the Shrouded Phantasm. New arrivals emerged from Devidian portals in a room adjacent to a corridor leading to the bar. To put an end to the Devidian incursions to this point in time, the Allied starship destroyed the nearby source of triolic energy, Driffen's Comet, and returned to their present. 

From 2410 onwards, AQA officers practised ground combat against Alliance and non-Alliance forces in the holographic arena event on Qo'noS, the qaD HoS, or Arena of Sompek.
