Character Star Trek: Voyager

Jal Sankur

Kazon leader who overthrew the Trabe

The Kazon leader who, a generation before Voyager's arrival, united the quarrelling sects long enough to rise against their Trabe oppressors, and whose feat Culluh dreams of repeating.

Jal Sankur was a Kazon first maje of the mid 24th century. At that time the Kazon were a subject people, kept divided and penned in by the technologically advanced Trabe. Sankur persuaded the sects to act together, and the united Kazon overthrew the Trabe and seized their ships and weapons. Once the common enemy was gone the alliance fell apart into the feuding sects Voyager meets.
He is invoked in the Voyager second-season episode Maneuvers. Having stolen a transporter module with Seska's help, Maje Culluh of the Nistrim summons other sect leaders and offers to share the technology, presenting himself as the first since Sankur capable of uniting the Kazon. The history of the revolt is filled in from the Trabe side in Alliances.
Sankur is never seen.
