The Killing Game (Star Trek: Voyager)
18th and 19th episodes of the fourth season of Star Trek: Voyager
"The Killing Game" is a two-part episode of the science fiction television series Star Trek: Voyager, the 18th and 19th episodes of the fourth season. It is set in the 24th century aboard a starship returning to Earth after having been stranded on the other side of the Galaxy. The episode aired on UPN on March 4, 1998.
This is the third and fourth episodes that continues the Hirogen story arc after the events in "Hunters" and "Prey". The Hirogen have taken over Voyager and conscripted its crew to serve as holodeck prey by controlling their minds using neural interfaces which make them believe they really are their fictional characters. The Hirogen hunt them in holodecks 1 and 2 (as well as adjacent decks the Hirogen have enabled with additional holo-emitters) using different programs.
Plot
Part I
Voyager has been taken captive by the Hirogen, who repeatedly erase the crew's memories and place them in holodeck programs as prey. Captain Kathryn Janeway, having just been "killed" as a female Klingon warrior, is put into a simulation of Nazi-occupied France in September 1944. The Hirogen take on the roles of Nazi officers patrolling the town of St. Clare, with Voyager's crew as members of the French Resistance.

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 15, 2026.
