| Sheryl's Star Trek Site: Star Trek Women: Voyager: Kes (1026 words) |
 | Kes is a female Ocampa, the species with a life span of only nine years whose home system Voyager was pulled to by the "Caretaker" entity of the Nacene race; although she appears as a twenty-year-old in human years, Kes is actually just two. |
 | Kes faces the greatest crisis of her young life when she became prematurely pregnant with the elogium due to the electrophoretic activity of nearby space-dwelling creatures and confronted with Neelix the emotional roller-coaster of whether or not to conceive a child at her young age. |
 | Kes knows she's ready for a change, but no one predicts that a chance connection with Species 8472 will initiate a chain reaction that, by the beginning of 2374, sees Kes experiencing uncontrolled cellular flux and powerful psychokinetic outbursts that imperil the ship. |
