HIROGEN : Page 3 : USS Voyager gives the Hirogen holotechnology
Shortly after [Hunters], as depicted in [Prey], a member of Species 8472, prey of two Hirogen hunters, wounded and in flight comes aboard USS Voyager. Seven sees Species 8472 as a threat, while Janeway sees it as an opportunity to show compassion. The Doctor tries to sedate the wounded Hirogen whom USS Voyager has rescued after the member of Species 8472 attacked him and killed his colleague, but the Hirogen immune system neutralises everything. The wounded Hirogen sends a distress call and six more Hirogen ships approach. Diplomacy is not part of the Hirogen lifestyle. The Hirogen does not see the Voyager crew as equals, but just considers them as game. The Hirogen body armour can defeat most hostile environments. The Hirogen severely wounds Species 8472 when he, Chakotay and Paris corner it near deflector control. The Doctor tries to treat the injured creature. Disobeying captain's orders, Seven interferes and beams both the creature and the Hirogen as they fight each other onto one of the Hirogen ships where it will no doubtedly be killed. [Season 4: Prey].

In 2374, as depicted in [The Killing Game], eighty-five Hirogen capture Voyager and use Voyager's holodecks to set up simulations to "hunt" the Voyager crew.

Alpha Hirogen says that the Hirogen way of life has not changed for 1000 years. They have dispersed themselves throughout the quadrant and have become a solitary and isolated race. He believes that in another 1000 years, no one will remember the name Hirogen. Alpha Hirogen tells Janeway the Hirogen are hunting themselves into extinction and that Voyager's holodeck technology could give them a chance to rebuild their civilisation. The Hirogen and Janeway agree to a truce. Although the original Alpha Hirogen is killed, Janeway keeps her promise to him and gives the surviving Hirogen an optronic data core so that they can create holodeck technology on their own ships, and thereby hunt holographic prey instead, and with that the Hirogen leave USS Voyager.
