[2] It focuses on a plot with Harry Kim (played by Garrett Wang) as USS Voyager encounters a unique civilization on an extremely large starship.

This episode was written by Michael Taylor from a story by Kenneth Biller, and directed by David Livingston.

Guest stars include Charles Rocket, Christopher Liam Moore and Musetta Vander.

[3] The episode features one of the largest spacecraft in the Star Trek franchise up to that time, the Varro Generational Ship.

The majority of the Varro remain together in separate pods but the minority group that wanted to leave is allowed to do so.

[4] At about 9.3 kilometers (5.8 miles) in length the Varro spacecraft is only slightly smaller than the Voth City Ship which was also featured in Star Trek: Voyager.

[4] The visual effect shots of the Varro ship were done computer generated graphics by Foundation Imaging.

They were also happy with guest star Musetta Vander, who they said was "radiant and magnificent and charming and delightful".
