Eaglemoss EMST0076 Star Trek Talaxian Freighter - Baxial [With Collector Magazine]
"The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few."
- Science Officer Spock
The Baxial was a Talaxian freighter that was in service in the late 24th century. In the 2370s, the Baxial was owned by Neelix. During his stay aboard the USS Voyager, the Baxial was stored in the starship's shuttlebay.
When he first saw it, Neelix thought the Baxial was the ugliest thing he'd ever seen. But eventually, he couldn't imagine being without it. A preserved Talaxian fur fly hung in the engine room of the ship for six years. Neelix later gave the fly to B'Elanna Torres as a good luck charm, after the construction of the quantum slipstream drive on the USS Voyager.
In 2371, the Baxial was sorting through wreckage in a debris field near Ocampa when Voyager approached it, asking for information on the Caretaker's array. After successfully rescuing their crew members, Captain Janeway had Neelix's shuttle refueled, and prepared to depart, but Neelix and newly freed Kes requested to remain aboard, which lead to the the Baxial being stored in Voyager's shuttlebay.
Shortly after Neelix decided to stay aboard Voyager, the ship encountered a nucleogenic cloud being, which the crew decided to explore. Voyager accidentally damaged the cloud after it left and Janeway decided to return and help it heal. Neelix demanded that the captain not return to it, as he believed it was too dangerous, or to drop him and Kes off and pick them up later. Janeway bluntly stated that there wasn't time to prep Baxial for launch, and he'd have to sit tight.
