First contact with this species occurred following the discovery of
an alien sensor network that allowed the USS Voyager to contact the USS
Prometheus in the Alpha Quadrant. Subsequent use of the sensor network
led to a message to Voyager from the Hirogen stating that the sensor network
belonged to them and telling Voyager to terminate their transmissions.
This message was answered by Lieutenant Torres, who attempted to explain
Voyagers use of the network. Voyagers link to the network was subsequently
severed presumably by the Hirogen.
During a second attempt by Voyager to use the sensor network, the Hirogen
again contacted the ship. Captain Janeway attempted to negotiate with the
Hirogen for access to the network, but the Hirogen again attempted to sever
Voyagers link to the network. Before the Hirogen could sever the link,
however, Seven of Nine was able to send a feedback signal through the sensor
network to the Hirogens location causing an electrical shock which disabled
the Hirogen. No further contact with the Hirogen was made.
