Shortly after becoming chief engineer, Torres disobeys the captain's orders when Voyager encounters a race known as the Sikarians. The Sikarians have advanced transporter technology that could drastically shorten their 70-year journey, but Sikarian law prohibits the Voyager crew from obtaining it legitimately. <br><br> | Shortly after becoming chief engineer, Torres disobeys the captain's orders when Voyager encounters a race known as the Sikarians.

Torres becomes involved with a small group of officers who obtain the technology on the Sikarian black trade market, and perpetrate a failed attempt to integrate it into Voyager's systems. Torres, along with Tom Paris, was later kidnapped by the Vidiians. A Vidiian scientist extracts the Klingon from Torres, splicing her into two separate people: one human, one Klingon. He believed the Klingon DNA had a specific biochemical property which could lead to a cure for the Phage, a disease affecting his people. The human Torres is portrayed fraught with fear and timidity, while the Klingon Torres is shown as overly aggressive. After her escape from the Vidiians the Klingon Torres suffered a fatal wound from the Vidiian energy weapon and died, but the doctor used her DNA to restore the human Torres to her original half-human half-Klingon state. <br><br> | Torres becomes involved with a small group of officers who obtain the technology on the Sikarian black trade market, and perpetrate a failed attempt to integrate it into Voyager's systems.

HEROES OF THE EMPIRE
B'Elanna Torresby Leslie A. Lechner
Lt. Torres was born in 2349 on the Federation Colony, Kessik IV.
Kessik IV was a planet in the Kessik system, in the Taurus Reach region, a world with rich dilithium crystal resources. A Federation colony was established on Kessik IV in 2264, by the crew of the mining vessel, SS Epimetheus, originally as an independent settlement. An attempt by Commodore Reyes and Ambassador Jetanien at Vanguard was overruled by the STARFLEET JAG Office in 2265.

In 2373, Torres was the target of telepathically-inspired dreams from a member of a race called the Enarans. The dreams were actually memories of a great massacre that took place on the Enaran home world, and were the elder Enaran's method of making sure that the memory of this massacre lives on, even if in the mind of an alien. Later that year, Vulcan engineer, Vorik accidentally triggered Torres' mating instincts when he initiated a telepathic bond with her while he is experiencing the pon farr. Torres and Tom Paris later become trapped on a planet together during an away mission, and Torres attempted to get Paris to mate with her, but he resisted. Eventually, Vorik and Torres engaged in ritual battle to purge the blood fever. Sources
