SPECIES: n/a
Arturis's people were assimilated by the Borg
after centuries of successful resistance. Arturis was one of
only 20,000 people who escaped the Borg and was lucky to have
his own ship. He blamed the crew of the starship USS Voyager, in
particular Captain Kathryn Janeway, for his species' defeat at
the hand of the Borg after the Voyager crew had aided the Borg
in their fight against Species 8472. As such, he decided to
exact revenge on them, believing that his species could have
been saved if Species 8472 had been allowed to destroy the
Collective, regarding the Borg as simply a "force of nature"
that could only be avoided rather than fought or destroyed. |

A forged version of the message
was created by Arturis when he "decoded" the message, which led
the Voyager crew to the fake Starfleet vessel USS Dauntless.
Captain Kathryn Janeway was subsequently able to retrieve part
of the real message from Hayes expressing his condolences over
their situation, and thus exposed Arturis' ruse. Janeway
described Hayes as a "good man, fine officer, a bit of a
windbag." |
