The next episode of the Fluid Dynamics podcast will explore the evolution of a species native to a void. Specifically, the aliens depicted in Star Trek Voyager’s episode “Night” (season 5: episode 1) that live in the Delta Quadrant void which we will refer to as the Ka'Thara. Voids are vast, nearly empty regions of space.
Blending canon, extrapolated science, and theoretical physics, this thought experiment presents a comprehensive analysis of this species planetary system, biology and evolutionary path to space travel.
Upon filling the holes left from canon, several scenarios of how Voyager really would have fared against this species without the convenient plot armor of the series will be explored.

Through The Black Curtain by Euftis Emery | #scifi #audiobook #sciencefiction
Click here to watch the video :
eBook : https://amzn.to/3KcV8HA
Paperback : https://amzn.to/4ng7Dkm
Hardcover : https://amzn.to/46cifdY

STAR TREK © and its trademarks (including Picard, Strange New Worlds, Lower Decks, Enterprise, Voyager, Deep Space Nine, Discovery and The Next Generation) are all owned by © Paramount Global Pictures/CBS Studios Inc. and distributed by CBS and Paramount Plus. This book is for technical extrapolation with commentary.
If you enjoy this work, please rate and comment as it helps me with the algorithm to reach new readers.
Through the Black Curtain reimagines one of Star Trek: Voyager’s most enigmatic encounters—the alien species glimpsed within the Delta Quadrant Void. In this speculative extrapolation, author Euftis Emery reconstructs these “Void dwellers” as the Ka’thara: a civilization forged in silence, scarcity, and extremes.
Blending canon with astrophysics, evolutionary biology, and cultural theory, the book traces the Ka’thara from their tidally locked homeworld to their emergence as a distributed Type II civilization. Distinct day-side, twilight, and night-side strains evolve into a unified people whose technology and philosophy reflect the primacy of survival through concealment. Their awareness of the Borg—interpreted as an existential mirror—catalyzes new doctrines, dual-fleet structures, and resonance-based weaponry designed not for conquest, but for avoidance and redirection.
Interwoven with technical analysis are narrative case studies: Voyager’s perilous crossing of the Void, the Malon’s reckless incursions, and Ka’tharan responses ranging from observation to repurposing of intruders.
Rich in speculation yet grounded in science, Through the Black Curtain offers Star Trek fans a fresh lens on survival, philosophy, and what it means to endure in a universe defined by both abundance and silence.

Following is Section 31’s internal assessment of Captain Sisko’s involvement in the death of Romulan Senator Vreenak, as dramatized, "In the Pale Moonlight" (DS9, S6E19). The report is structured as though it were a confidential review of an unauthorized—but strategically successful—operation carried out without S31’s direct involvement, yet fully in alignment with their doctrine.

Voyager is about to cross 7,200 light-years of… nothing.
But something in the Void is watching.
Captain Janeway gathers her senior staff to decide: go around the Delta Quadrant Void—or straight through it?
Seven of Nine calls it Borg Spatial Anomaly Four. Two years at maximum warp. No stars. No matter. No life.
The Borg avoided it for a reason…
As Malon probes spill toxic waste into the black, an ancient race—the Ka’thara—awakens to defend their sacred space.
Voyager presses onward through total darkness, unaware that their technology and crew are being analyzed… and chosen for harvest.
This cinematic short re-imagines Star Trek: Voyager’s “The Void” from Season 5, Episode 1 – “Night”, exploring what might truly live inside the emptiness between galaxies.
A speculative reconstruction of the Ka’thara, Voyager, and the Borg — where silence hides intelligence, and the Void watches back.

Section 31 Influence on Deep Space Nine - The Adversary #startrekdeepspacenine #startrek #audiobook

eBook : https://amzn.to/3KwgD6H

STAR TREK © and its trademarks (including Picard, Strange New Worlds, Lower Decks, Enterprise, Voyager, Deep Space Nine, Discovery and The Next Generation) are all owned by © Paramount Global Pictures/CBS Studios Inc. and distributed by CBS and Paramount Plus. This book is for technical extrapolation with commentary.
Speculating that Commander Michael Eddington was a Section 31 operative radically recontextualizes his entire character arc—from loyal Starfleet security officer, to traitorous Maquis leader, to tragic martyr. While canon paints him as a disillusioned idealist who turned against Starfleet for moral reasons, a Section 31 framing suggests something darker, deeper, and far more orchestrated.
THEORY: MICHAEL EDDINGTON – DEEP COVER SECTION 31 AGENT
Codename (Speculative): "Mercury Halo"
Insertion Vector: Assigned to DS9 Security to monitor Cardassian-Dominion convergence, monitor Odo’s infection with the morphogenic virus and infiltrate and guide the Maquis resistance movement toward strategic collapse.
STRATEGIC MOTIVE FOR MAQUIS INFILTRATION
Containment of Federation Radicalism
The Maquis posed a serious threat to:
• Federation–Cardassian diplomatic stability.
• Federation moral high ground.
• Starfleet chain of command integrity.
Section 31 may have viewed the Maquis as a cancerous idealism—a fringe splinter of Federation ethics becoming militarized.
Solution: insert an agent who could gain their trust, shape their actions, and ultimately engineer their destruction when their usefulness ends.
Intelligence Feed on Cardassian Obsidian Order
As the Maquis operated near the Demilitarized Zone, they were perfectly positioned to:
• Intercept covert Cardassian communications.
• Monitor Central Command troop movements.
• Feed disinformation about Starfleet’s intentions.
Eddington may have acted as Section 31’s eyes and ears on both sides of the DMZ.
Odo Surveillance and Evaluation
• Eddington was tasked to watch, monitor, and evaluate Odo, gauging the shapeshifter’s loyalty to the Federation.
• By recording and reporting subtle shifts in Odo’s behavior, Eddington supplied data for Control’s predictive modeling of Founder psychology and collective behavioral patterns.
• His assignment also included covert health assessments to ensure the morphogenic virus seeded within Odo by Section 31 remained dormant and did not manifest prematurely, which could jeopardize both the operation and Odo’s continued use as a transmission vector to the Great Link.
Controlled Burn Doctrine
Section 31 believes in eliminating threats not when they appear, but when they grow too visible. By embedding Eddington in the Maquis:
• They let the Maquis expand, drawing out idealists, ex-starfleet officers, and fringe radicals.
• Once the Maquis reached critical exposure, Eddington triggered provocations (e.g., attacks that invited retaliation by the Federation and Dominion).
• Starfleet—especially Sisko—was goaded into destroying the Maquis with Cardassian cooperation.
A “controlled burn”: let it grow, then wipe it out all at once.
REFRAMING HIS “BETRAYAL”
In “For the Cause”, Eddington defects. But:
• He makes no attempt to disappear.
• He leaves behind a clean narrative of ideological awakening.
• He repeatedly taunts Sisko, drawing attention to his own actions.
This mirrors Section 31 defection protocols, where agents burn their Starfleet cover to:
• Maintain deniability.
• Sell the fiction.
• Make the martyrdom useful.
His Les Misérables references?
A mask to give his actions moral camouflage.
DEATH AS MISSION COMPLETION
In “Blaze of Glory”, Eddington sacrifices himself to stop a retaliatory strike that would destabilize the region—and damage Federation political standing.
Section 31 analysis would read:
• Final objective achieved: prevent mass escalation.
• Public narrative preserved: Eddington dies a traitor-hero hybrid.
• Section 31 exposure avoided: no intel ever traced back.
"The most useful agent is the one no one suspects—especially in death."
SECTION 31 CONCLUSION (Speculative)
Profile: Michael Eddington
• Operational Role: Disruption Agent, Maquis Infiltration
• Behavioral Protocol: Ideological deep cover, self-radicalizing profile
• Mission End Marker: Targeted martyrdom
“He betrayed Starfleet to save it. He betrayed the Maquis to silence them. And he betrayed himself because that was the story, we needed him to sell.”
