A Nyrian woman who appears aboard Voyager claiming to be an innocent victim of a transport accident, and who later oversees the crew's captivity.
Taleen is one of the Nyrians, a species that captures ships by swapping its own people with the crew one at a time. She appears in the third-season Voyager episode Displaced.
Like Dammar before her, Taleen materialises on Voyager seemingly confused and frightened, just as a crew member vanishes. She plays the harmless visitor while the exchanges continue every few minutes until the Nyrians outnumber the Starfleet crew and seize the ship.
Taleen is then seen in a position of authority at the habitat where the crew is confined. She insists that the prisoners are treated well. When Janeway's people escape and begin transporting Nyrians into a freezing environment, she is forced to give Voyager back.
