The array constructed by the Caretaker and its mate Suspiria stood as an intricate feat of engineering. The array was vast, its diameter and height stretching for kilometers. Ranged around a tall, cylindrical central hub, the array's structure comprised a network of angled sprues radiating out above and below the central hub.

Powered by tetryonic reactors, the lower tip of the central cylinder formed an emitter to transmit radiant energy bursts - these were directed at the Ocampan homeworld. Within was a battery of advanced technology, from sophisticated holographic projectors to full-spectrum medical and research facilities.

The Caretaker was dying. Without a mate, its death would leave the Ocampa alone. Desperate, the Caretaker pulled ships lightyears across the galaxy in the hope of finding a compatible lifeform. One such ship was the U.S.S. Voyager.
