	PLAYED BY: Eric Steinberg SPECIES: Ankari Male This Ankari captain was contacted by Kathryn Janeway in the hope that they could call off the attacks by the nucleogenic lifeforms. The Ankari captain was afraid of USS Voyager and refused to respond until Voyager trapped them in a tractor beam. The captain told Janeway that the lifeforms were attacking because the crew of the USS Equinox was killing them. He then told Janeway that he would contact the lifeforms but Janeway had to talk to them not him. He served as a translator between her and the lifeforms.
	PLAYED BY: John Savage SPECIES: Human Male With the help of Ensign Marla Gilmore, Ransom subsequently accessed the ship's transporter control, and beamed the majority of the surviving Equinox crewmembers to Voyager. Eventually left as the only surviving crewmember on board, Ransom accessed helm control in order to put a safe distance between Voyager and the Equinox, whose warp core was about to breach due to attacks by the aliens. As the core overloaded, Ransom utilized a synaptic stimulator to experience his last moments on the peaceful Tenkaran coast.
	PLAYED BY: Olivia Birkelund SPECIES: Human Female Pretending to join Burke's mutiny, Gilmore took Ransom into custody, but instead of escorting him to the brig, they went to engineering and accessed transporter control, beaming the majority of the crew, Gilmore included, to Voyager. After the deaths of Ransom and Burke, and the destruction of the Equinox, Gilmore was integrated into the Voyager crew along with four others. As a consequence for their actions against the alien lifeforms, they were stripped of rank, and their privileges were severely limited.
	PLAYED BY: Titus Welliver SPECIES: Human Male Captain Ransom decided to halt the experiments and surrender to Captain Janeway, leading Burke and a small group of Equinox crewmembers to mutiny and take control of the ship. Ordering Ransom confined, Burke took command and attempted to destroy Voyager, but was thwarted when Ransom and Ensign Marla Gilmore managed to beam the rest of the crew off of the ship. As the Equinox faced destruction by the aliens, Burke and the remaining crewmembers attempted to reach the ship's only remaining shuttlecraft, but was ultimately killed on the way to the shuttlebay.
	PLAYED BY: Rick Worthy SPECIES: Human Male Lessing had a sister with whom he would visit McKinley Park when they were children. When he was ten years old, he stumbled into a patch of poison ivy, causing him to swell up "like a Regellian blood worm."
	PLAYED BY: Steven Dennis SPECIES: Human Male When the Equinox crew stole Voyager's field generator, and Lieutenant Burke mutinied, he took the tactical controls at the conn. When it was clear the ship was going to be destroyed, he suggested surrendering to Voyager, but Burke told him to follow him to the shuttlebay on Deck 3. All of the crew that remained aboard Equinox, including him, were killed by the nucleogenic lifeforms.
