Voloczin was a member of the Voloczin species, resembling a cross between an arachnid and a crab, with many tentacles.
In 2377, Voloczin served as the engineer aboard Gaila's ship, the Golden Handshake. Late that year, the ship came under attack from the Urwyzden and Voloczin crushed two of them with his tentacles before they killed him with their phasers. (ST novella: Reservoir Ferengi)
As of 2382, Voloczin - who was known as Vol to his friends - had joined Starfleet and was serving as a member of the Starfleet Corps of Engineers with the rank of Lieutenant commander. He was posted to the USS Challenger as Chief engineer, a position he held until the destruction of the vessel in 2383. (TNG novel: Indistinguishable From Magic)
