Despite having pretty bad biology and only appearing in a little over 3 seasons of Voyager, I find one thing about the Ocampa that I find especially interesting. I especially noticed it when I researched the subject at large. They actually have two distinct groups. Well, three, actually. And especially since their population is not that big.
And yes, the groups were isolated from each other. One is the homeworld group, second is Suspiria’s group… and third is just Kes (and any possible offsprings she might have aboard Voyager, in other timelines). And so it makes sense they are different. Still, in a setting where most species are so similar, this is an unusual thing. And, unlike Romulans, they still call themselves Ocampa and have similar biology. They extended their lifetime, but it is clearly a result of technology and not evolution.
What do you think about this? Did you think about this before?
