The Vau N'Akat were a humanoid civilization who lived in the galaxy's Delta Quadrant.
History and specifics[]
Their homeworld was the planet Solum. Solum was also the name of the Vau N'Akat language.
The Vau N'Akat possessed neuroflux-based technology, which allowed them to control objects with their minds.
The Vau N'Akat once believed that they were the only intelligent race in the universe, until a Prometheus-class starship made first contact in the mid-2380s. Afterward, a schism developed within Vau N'Akat society between those who were tempted by the promise of other worlds and wished to align with the Federation, and those who sought to preserve their old way of life and disdained joining a "primitive allegiance". Years of infighting eventually erupted into decades of civil war that left Solum irreparably devastated; extinction was thought to be inevitable.
Fifty years after first contact, the USS Protostar was ejected over Solum by an unstable wormhole, having been brought from the 2380s. The surviving Vau N'Akat, bitter at how the Federation had "abandoned" them by remaining neutral during their civil war, saw this as a fateful opportunity for revenge and to save their species. They captured the ship and installed their last surviving living construct aboard, hoping to send it back into the past to destroy the Federation and avert first contact.
However, Captain Chakotay and his crew managed to escape and send the Protostar into the wormhole unmanned, losing it in time and space. With their greatest minds estimating no better than a one percent chance of finding the Protostar again, the Vau N'Akat formed the Order and sent the last of their fleet, one hundred Rev-12-type starships, into the wormhole to complete their mission. Each was crewed by a single soldier who forsook their name and former life in dedication to their cause, and was accompanied by a Drednok. Most of the ships were destroyed as the wormhole collapsed, but the Diviner and the Vindicator survived, emerging in different times and locations.

the Diviner and his daughter Gwyn, who were in charge of the Tars Lamora prison colony. Gwyn used neuroflux to turn her armbands into a sword. (PRD episode: "Lost and Found")
