What Delta Quadrant species would you like to see again?

Voyager introduced many species from the
Delta Quadrant that we have never seen again. Some appeared quite a lot (Ocampa, Talaxians, Vidians to name a few). Others appeared only a few times.

But redagless of how much they appeared, which ones would you like to see again?

I would like to see the Ocampa again, but only if they fix their biology. Other than that, the Voth would be nice to see again.
 
I wouldn't mind the Taresians. They sound like fun to be around.

Just don't let them fool you into marrying (three of) them.
 
The Ocampa, The Kazon, The Talaxians, The Vori, The Voth, Suspiria.....

There are also some species in the Voyager books I would really have liked to see but I don't know if it is appropriate to mention them here since there are many here who haven't read all those books.

Oh, I foprgot the humans on "The 37's planet". It woulld actually be great if there was a series in which we could follow their adventures.

Maybe they could create their own Federation out there?

The Vidiians

The Think Tank cured the Phage, so I would like to see a vibrant culture that Pel described.
 
The Voth and the Vidiians.

The Voth were very interesting, and I liked Gegen.

And I'm not convinced the Think Tank cured the phage. (Considering they already knew a lot about Voyager and its database beforehand, and there is no evidence they had the technology to travel 30,000 light years and back in that area where the Hazari were so quickly, since Kurros said they 'recently' cured them. Could easily be a ruse to make them seem impressive and give them space cred... name dropping a race with a huge problem Janeway knew about.) The Vidiians were the best villains of VOY, and one of the best in the franchise.

Same! I've been curious about that ever since it was mentioned.

Also, I thought the initial concept of the Kazon was really good, and some episodes did great stuff with them. It's a pity they turned into the DQ's dollarshop Klingons so fast.
 
I would have liked to have seen an alliance with Voyager and 8472 post "In The Flesh"....

where 8472 gives Voyager the Borg Buster technology. That would have changed the dynamic between Voyager and the Borg, they might have even formed some sort of formal truce or understanding and would have fulfilled Guinan's comments in 'Q Who?":

'Someday it may be possible to form a relationship with them, but right now, you're just raw material..."
 
The people from the musicless world.
Except now they are being led by a bunch of conservative music hating zealots on a mission to make the universe great (and quieter) again.:guffaw:
 
(I'm new, and I know we're not supposed to necro threads that have been quiet for over a year. This one's not quite at the year mark yet — but please let me know if I should've started a new thread instead!)

Here are the main species/cultures I would've liked to see more of:
  • The Voth. I thought they deserved more than one episode, considering that "dinosaurs in space" is a fascinating, fun concept (albeit one Doctor Who has played with, too), and the dogmatic government seeing Voyager as basically evidence of (pseudo-)scientific heresy I thought had a lot of plot potential.
  • Species 116. Arturis was a great antagonist. Some others of his species survived; I would've liked to see more of them come after Voyager, trying to trap or destroy them in novel ways with their advanced technology and faster-than-warp drives.
  • Species 8472. They were only the focus of like three episodes (with a single 8472 being hunted by the Hirogen in a fourth episode), which I think was a waste of the "Borg-slayers." They don't really hold together conceptually right now, and I'd like to spend more time with them to see what the writers turn them into over time.
  • The Vaadwaur and Turei
  • The Vidiians I thought has untapped potential — but not if the Think Tank magically cured them off-screen. (Though the newly-healthy species having to face the consequences of their actions definitely has potential.)
  • I'd also pair them with the Srivani (the aliens from "Scientific Method," whose name is only in the script), and reveal that the Phage is a centuries-long Srivani "mad doctor" experiment in medicine and sociology.
  • Surprise: The Sikarians! I was fascinated by "Prime Factors" when I was a kid, and I still think there's a lot you could do with them. Make them pleasure-seeking hedonists with an over-the-top a "good vibes only" mentality, who've got an axe to grind against Voyager for taking/buying their spatial trajector, breaking their "prime directive," and harshing their mellow. Combine that with technology that could beam assassins or bombs onto Voyager at a distance of 40,000 light years, and I find them honestly kind of scary!
  • The Swarm are a great concept that was really poorly done, IMO.
  • The Krenim were interesting, especially since we know they end up creating time-weapons used in the Temporal Wars.
 
The Vaadwaur were a pretty interesting villain race and were setup for another appearance but then completely forgotten. It was kind of weird honestly. One of VOY's more glaring ball drops in my mind.
