A sharp-eyed boy on a doomed Delta Quadrant planet who suspects that Janeway and Paris are not who they claim to be and is caught up in their capture.
Latika is a young boy living on a pre-warp world powered by polaric ion energy. He appears in the first-season Voyager episode Time and Again.
After Kathryn Janeway and Tom Paris slip a day into the planet's past, they try to pass as locals. Latika notices that their story and their clothes do not add up and begins to follow them about, hoping for something exciting to tell. His persistence gets him seized along with the two officers by Pe'Nar Makull's protest group.
Paris, who is impatient with the boy at first, ends up protecting him and is shot while doing so. When Janeway closes the subspace fracture the day is undone, and Latika is last seen alive and well in a restored timeline.
