Ensign Harry Kim



It was nearly seven years ago when Star Trek: Voyager’s Ensign Harry Kim reported for duty aboard the U.S.S. Voyager. The recent Starfleet Academy graduate was full of anticipation as he prepared to embark on his very first deep space mission to find a Maquis ship in the Badlands. However, what began as a routine assignment for the men and women of Voyager turned into a fight for survival when their ship became stranded in the Delta Quadrant.

Not surprisingly, the young ensign’s Starfleet training had not prepared him for the dangers he and his fellow crewmates would encounter in this unexplored region of space. Harry soon realized that in the Delta Quadrant, instinct and experience were of more use when it came to doing his job. As time passed, this new kid on the block grew into the seasoned bridge officer that he is today. Although Harry has not lost his sense of adventure, it is now tempered with maturity and wisdom.
