Good websites gone
When I checked the links recently, I discovered that some really good websites are gone, due to Yahoo's greed and narrow-minded thinking. The decision of closing down Geocities and the free websites there annihilated excellent sites, such as Style Ocampa, the site about Kes's different outfits and The Mikejonas FAQ which had some valuable information about the series.
On the other hand, new , good websites are showing up too, like the Kes Army site which takes off where Style Ocampa ended. And there are still a lot off good websites available for the Kes fans and Star Trek fans in common.
Check out the links here.
New Kes story
As a part of the anniversary, a new story about Kes is presented here. It's called Kes's Vacation and is about Kes joining Janeway and the Voyager crew for a diplomatic mission and ends up on a strange planet with a deadly secret.
The 10 year anniversary
The Kes Website celebrated its 10th anniversary the 9th of June. Yes, this site has been going for 10 years now. More about the anniversary here.
The 10th anniversary of the Kes Website was celebrated by adding a 10th room in the Kes Photo Gallery!
Kes looks at the website
Kes: "Captain, I just realized that it's the TEN YEAR anniversary of the Kes Website! Isn't it wonderful?"
A new start on 110mb
If you're reading this, then you have found the way to the new home for the Kes website, which is located at www.110mb.com.
The reason for the move was that Geocities, where the Kes Website has been located for 10 years are about to close down. Therefore the Kes Website had to be re-located.
After some initial panik over where to move and after some consideration about the choices there were, I decide to move the site to 110mb which has a very good reputation due to the many positive reviews I've read about 110mb, all in order to maintain the high standard of the website.
The Kes Website will celebrate it's 10th anniversary in June, therefore it's a bit remarcable that it will take place at a new location. However, it can be regarded as a new start for the website as well.
As for the site, it's my intention that it will continue to be a great place to visit for fans of the character Kes and for Voyager fas as well, just as the site has been for almost 10 years.
Kes: "Now where is the way to 110mb? Ah, there it is!"
110mb computer Operator: "Welcome to 110MB."
Kes: "Thanks! This will be the perfect place for my website!"
The crew are celebrating the move of the website
"Now Kes is here, where she belong
and the rest of us can't be wrong
Just as long as we're singing this song, we're all smiling in tune!"
Voyager maps
Voyager season 1-3 maps can be found here.

Voyager's end and the future of Kes
The year 2001 was not a good year for us Kes fans. Kes didn't show up in the final episode of Voyager, or any Voyager episode in the seventh season. No letter campaigns or any other attempts to persuade the arrogant and big-headed fools in charge of the Star Trek Empire helped.
Voyager also ended in a total confusion with the horrible episode "Endgame", leaving many fans angry and dissapointed. What a sad end for a series that started so good and could have been the best SF-series ever.
As for the character Kes we can only hope that the damage made to that character in crap episodes like "The Gift" and "Fury" can be corrected in upcoming Voyager books. Kes was too good to be shoved aside like a piece of garbage because of mistakes made by The Idiots In Charge of the Star Trek Empire. We want the real Kes back to Star Trek Voyager, no matter if it is in upcoming books, possible movies or fanfiction. We will not accept the way Kes was treated in crap episodes like "The Gift" and "Fury".
As we see it, this is not the end. This site will remain on the net for all to find the truth about was really happened to Kes and why actress Jennifer Lien was so brutally fired. The truth will be there for coming generations of Voyager fans who search for Kes.
We will continue to make updates to this site when we find some interesting news about Kes and Jennifer Lien (upcoming conventions and other stuff). Now when Voyager has ended it will be some reconstruction on this site. More information about Jennifer Lien and her other projects, maybe some sort of campaign for a return of the character Kes in upcoming Star Trek books and possible movies and so on.
It might seem futile to some of those who visits this site but we will keep the memory of Kes alive for coming generations even when Voyager has ended. This is not the end, only the end of the beginning.
Never surrender! The crusade continues!
The Lynx crew.
Basic information about this site
So why so much fuss about someone who isn’t in Star Trek Voyager anymore and what about this Lynx thing? There hasn’t been anything called Lynx in Star Trek Voyager ever.
Well, to make a short story out of it: It started with one of the persons responsible for this site who once started to write a story about a Maquis ship stranded on a rather undeveloped planet where it was caught in a conflict between two hostile nations. The Maquis ship was called the Lynx and had a crew with some really interesting characters. However, after seeing the first episodes of Voyager, this author became a Voyager "addict" and a Kes fan. When he heard about how Kes had been deleted from Voyager, he decided to write a story about her return to Voyager and, when doing that he put in this Maquis crew and also some rearranged parts of the original story.
In the end of 1998 some of us were really frustrated about the absence of Kes in Star Trek Voyager and the development of the show. So we decided to create a Kes page.
During the spring of 1999 the author of the "Coming Home"-story had got tired of trying to sell his story to Paramount and the company responsible for the Star Trek books (obviously it’s easier to break into Fort Knox than to take some creative ideas into the Star Trek Universe) and therefore decided to put it out on this website instead, maybe to some consolation for other frustrated Kes fans. A later attempt in 2000 to sell the story to Paramount didn't suceed either, nor did any attempts from other writers who tried to send in stories about a Kes come-back. The people in charge of Star Trek Voyager simply didn't want Kes back!
The site was recently re-named The Kes website since the site has become more than just a photo gallery. Therefore the change. The Kes Photo Gallery actually remains as a part of the website. The references to a mysterious Lynx Empire sounds more exciting than any other common name. And to be honest, we have come up with a solution how Kes can come back to Voyager and as long as the so called creative staff at Paramount doesn’t have any better ideas, our solution is the one that counts. After all, our story might be the right story while the "official" Voyager episodes might take place in another universe or........... (time for speculation)
Unfortunately, our efforts to bring back Kes to Voyager has failed. But we will continue to keep the legend of Kes alive.
We will come back with news and information from time to time on this page. Until then, enjoy your stay in the Lynx Empire and visit the Gallery.
