The Akritirian ambassador who blames Voyager for a terrorist bombing and refuses to release Harry Kim and Tom Paris from an orbiting prison.
Ambassador Liria represents the government of Akritiri. He appears in the third-season Voyager episode The Chute.
After an explosion kills dozens of people on his world, the authorities arrest Kim and Paris and send them without a real trial to a brutal prison. Liria tells Captain Janeway that the bomb used trilithium, which he says could only have come from her ship, and tries to have Voyager impounded.
Janeway tracks down the real bombers, members of the Open Sky movement, and offers them to Liria in exchange for her officers. He replies that Akritirian law does not allow a sentence to be reviewed. Janeway then mounts a rescue using Neelix's ship.
