(Finally looked this up.)
"Voyager encountered the Malon in 2375 in Void space where they were
dumping large amounts of waste into the region, thus killing the void
nocturnal aliens. The Malon have a beautiful and prestine planet, and in
order to maintain it they must export their industrial waste to
non-habited sectors. Malon dump vessels can travel thousands of years in
order to find a suitable dumping location. Voyager has encountered the
species on numerous occasions, and in one instance, the Malon were trying
to recover a lost Voyager probe against Voyager's will. This lead to the
construction of the Delta Flyer."

Man, am I glad I stopped watching Star Trek. Well, it seemed pretty damn
cool when I was 10 years old. Six years, sixty books, and innumerable
cheezy TV episodes later.... well, look at the results. Save the children!
On a completely unrelated note, I saw a TV show (OK, you Brits, program is
a much nicer way to say it, but I will not stoop to "programme") featuring
Alan Keyes and Alan Dershowitz debating religion (how's that for a novel
topic). "Live" debates are remarkably similar to their Internet
counterparts, and I mean that in the worst possible sense.
Keyes couldn't tell an argument from his asshole, and the products were
indistinguishable. There's something about those Republicans that's
synonymous with stupid. It's their politicians.
