The U.S.S. Voyager
..................

An Intrepid-class vessel capable of holding 200 crew members, the U.S.S.
Voyager is one of the fastest and most powerful starships in Starfleet.
Although it is smaller in size than the U.S.S. Enterprise, the starship
Voyager is more technologically advanced than previous Star Trek vessels,
with its improved design warp drive which allows it to exceed the warp speed
limit without polluting the space continum, can operate independently for
approximately three years without refueling. Superbly equipped for
exploration and research, the starship Voyager has an impressive array of
defensive and offensive weapons, making it ready for action.

JENNIFER LIEN PLAYS KES
.......................

Jennifer Lien stars as Kes, the inquisitive young revolutionary Ocampa who
helps her lover, Neelix, run the officer's mess abord the Starship Voyager in
Star Trek:Voyager, the newest installment of the highly successful Star Trek
franchise. When a strange occurrence takes the Starship Voyager to the far
reaches of the galaxy and the search for kidnapped crewmen take the away team
to their home planet, Kes helps the Voyagers recapture their missing
colleagues -- and hitches a ride through the universe. Commenting on why she
was attracted to her roll, Jennifer said: "Kes is wise and courageous while
possesing an innocence. Being aboard the starship is a great adventure, the
opportunity for development is enormous."

Born and raised in Illinois, Jennifer knew early on that she wanted to act.
Encouraged by an English teacher along with a drama teacher, she began
performing in summer theatre and festivals at 13. She cut her teeth on roles
in Shakespeare's "The Tempest" and "Othello" before moving onto more
contemporary dramatic and musical theatre, and guest-starring on a episode of
the Oprah Winfrey series Brewsters Place.

At 16, Jennifer was hired by another world and moved to New York to portray
the newley created character of Hannah, a misfit orphan, on the NBC daytime
drama. She remained with the show for a year-and-a-half, then gave her face a
rest and put her voice to work. She can be heard on Saturday Night Live
regular Adam Sandler's comedy album, and has guest-voiced on The Critic and
dubbed lines in the English version of the French Miramax film "Baby Blood."

Back before the camera, she landed the role of Roanne in the ABC series
Phenom, and appeared in the short independent film trailer "The Hairy Bird."

She has studied acting and voice, and she enjoys playing the trombone.
