The Forge was a large space station that was constructed by the Vohrsoth race.
This facility resided in an unknown region of space and generated a powerful dampening field that left starships around it devoid of energy leaving them trapped. The Vohrsoth leader used this as a means of stranding vessels from other species where they were raided and plundered of both genetic material as well as technology.
History[]
By the year 2376, the Forge had numerous ships trapped around it which included an Etherian sleeper ship, an Imperial Starfleet Constitution class starship from the mirror universe, a Malon waste barge, a Klingon Bird-of-prey, a Dreadnaught gunship and the USS Voyager. The Forge was ultimately destroyed by the actions of Alexander Munro and the Hazard team. (VOY comic: "Elite Force", VOY video game: Elite Force)
