Hirogen

Although the Hirogen most probably have a homeworld where they evolved, they seem to have left it centuries ago as they are a nomadic race.

The Hirogen occupy a large region in space, as they are nomads. Additionally they possess a communication network that reaches up to the border of the Alpha-Quadrant.

The Hirogen are hunters and as a consequence are good warriors. But they do not use only force but also value cunning to overwhelm their prey. They are good tacticians and are quite innovative in creating new challenges.

Additionally they are good engineers, as they have to create advanced technology to secure their superiority.

Hirogen are very tall and muscular. They are around 2.2 meters tall, although smaller ones were seen. It is possible that only their armor makes them that large.

Although Hirogen are humanoids they have a reptile-like skin and eyes. They are very strong and massive making them powerful foes in combat. Additionally the Hirogen hunters wear massive protective armor, which protect them and make them even more intimidating.

The Hirogen are a nomadic race traveling through space in search for a challenging prey. The prey that proves to be a daring task is hunted and eventually killed to create or attain trophies of it. Most Hirogen ships operate independently from others and are lead by an "Alpha" and a "Beta". But in case of very powerful prey it is no shame to call for the help of another nearby Hirogen ship.

When the U.S.S. Voyager destroyed the communication network the Hirogen used they made the Hirogen their enemy. However later they got Voyager's holographic technology and were now able to create prey they wanted to hunt without actually killing innocent people.

But still those Hirogen who are not hunters are discriminated and regarded as weak even if they are those technicians who keep their weapons and ship operational to make hunting possible.
