Pházors

Pházors are a fictional species featured in the science fiction television series Star Trek: Voyager. They are a non-corporeal, energy-based life form originating from the Delta Quadrant. Pházors exist as pure energy and have the ability to manipulate electromagnetic fields. Their natural state is a gaseous form, but they can also coalesce into more defined shapes.

The Pházors are known for their advanced understanding of energy manipulation and their ability to travel through subspace. They are not inherently hostile, but their interactions with the crew of Voyager were often driven by misunderstanding and their unique biological needs. Their communication is typically telepathic, though they can also generate vocalizations by manipulating energy. Their lifecycle and reproductive methods are not fully understood by the Voyager crew.

In their encounters, the Pházors displayed a capacity for both curiosity and a certain level of possessiveness over resources they deemed essential for their survival. Their energy-based nature made them difficult to contain or harm using conventional Starfleet technology. While not a recurring species, their appearances in Star Trek: Voyager provided an opportunity to explore different forms of life and the challenges of interspecies communication.
