Harry Kim Harry S . L . Kim was a Human Starfleet officer who was best known for serving as operations officer aboard the starship during the seven years it was lost in the Delta Quadrant . ( ) Starfleet Academy . Kim attended Starfleet Academy from 2366 to 2370 . ( ) During his last year at the Academy , he had a roommate named James Mooney MacAllister , who studied excessively , even at night . This forced Kim to wear an eye mask to help sleep , reminding him of his mother ' s womb , of which he still retained memories . He retained the practice of wearing the mask at night throughout his " Voyager " assignment . McAllister helped Kim in his fourth year Quantum Chemistry class , although he reportedly " aced " the quantum theory portion of the Starfleet Academy entrance exam . ( ) During his academy years , he became close friends with Lyndsay Ballard , who lived across the hall in the student dorm . He even changed his class schedule so he would be in the same classes as Ballard . She taught him to ice skate , despite his dislike for cold weather . He never mentioned to her that he had a crush on her , not until he met her again in 2376 . ( ) Kim was editor of the school newspaper his senior year . As editor , he monitored subspace transmissions , where he got reports from some of the first activity by the Maquis against the Cardassian s after the signing of the Treaty of 2370 . Without advising his professor , Kim wrote an editorial on the potentially controversial topic and the cadet s became polarized on the issue . They debated the pros and cons of the subject and through his article , gained an insight into the entire history of the Maquis political rebellion . ( ) At the Academy , Harry learned about the self - aware Moriarty hologram and how it took over the . ( ) Harry was also a talented Parrises squares player , and was Academy champion three times . ( ) Harry graduated from the Academy as valedictorian of his class , having earned Interstellar Honors , on stardate 47918 . He requested duty aboard the USS " Voyager " on stardate 47923 and was given his first field assignment as a bridge officer aboard " Voyager " early the following year . ( ) Aboard " Voyager " . 2371 . In 2371 , Kim was assigned as operations officer aboard " Voyager " . He was very nervous about his first assignment , to the extent that he did not know how to address Captain Kathryn Janeway . Tom Paris , who was the polar opposite of Kim , befriended him . During " Voyager " s maiden voyage , the ship was transported to the Delta Quadrant by the Caretaker ' s array , along with a Maquis ship . After both crews were subjected to various medical tests , they were returned to their respective ships . However , Harry Kim and B ' Elanna Torres , a Maquis , were not . They were transferred to an underground Ocampa n medical facility by the Caretaker . It was at this time that Torres would refer to Kim as " Starfleet , " a nickname she would frequently use during their " Voyager " commissions . Kim and Torres persuaded an Ocampan nurse to show them a route that could lead to the surface . They were eventually rescued by " Voyager " . ( ) Kim later discovered a micro - wormhole in the Delta Quadrant that led to the Alpha Quadrant , but twenty years in the past . Tom Paris proposed petitioning the Federation Astronomical Committee to officially designate the wormhole Harry discovered as the " Harry Kim wormhole . " ( ) On an away mission to an asteroid , Kim found an alien burial ground . When the team was beam ed up , Kim was switched with one of the bodies in the burial capsules , and a dead alien was beamed aboard " Voyager " . The real Harry Kim found himself on the Vhnori homeworld . The Vhnori believed he was from the afterlife . When he told them he was from a place where there were just dead bodies , he shook their belief in the afterlife . He persuaded Hatil Garan , a Vhnori , who was going to submit to euthanasia to ease his family ' s burden in caring for him , to change his mind about dying . He took Garan ' s place and was returned to the asteroid , and rescued by " Voyager " . ( ) When " Voyager " visited the Sikarian s , Kim met a woman named Eudana , who was using an instrument which Harry mistook for being musical in nature , but when she said it measured weather patterns , he correctly deduced that nonlinear resonances in the atmosphere allowed the device to function . She then asked if he was a scientist , to which he responded that was sort of right . She wanted to be alone with him and took him to a planet thousands of light year s away . Her people could fold space and travel great distances in a short time . This technology could have reduced the length of " Voyager " s return home . The Sikarians , however , would not give up the technology due to their laws . ( ) During a holoprogram of the epic poem " " , Kim was captured by an energy being who had assumed one of the characters , Grendel , in the program . The Doctor rescued him , along with Chakotay and Tuvok . ( ) 2372 . In the attack by the Botha , who could cause hallucinations , Kim believed he saw his girlfriend Libby . ( ) " Voyager " was accidentally duplicated by a spatial scission phenomenon . Each ship was unaware of the others ' existence , and both tried to stabilize their rapidly - draining antimatter supply with a series of proton bursts . One of the two ships , slightly phase d apart from the other , fired the proton s first , heavily damaging the other in the process ; the damage also caused the infant Naomi Wildman to die in her failed delivery operation . The Harry Kim from the damaged " Voyager " was killed after being blown through a hull breach . When the undamaged ship was forced to self - destruct after being overrun by Vidiian forces , that ship ' s Harry Kim took the infant Naomi Wildman and transferred to the other ship . ( ) At one point , Kim entered an artificial reality stasis created by Viorsa ' s species . They had created it to survive a natural disaster . When he entered , in his subconscious state he was confronted by The Clown . The Clown was fear personified , and survived by being linked to humanoid sensory functions . He had already killed some members of Viorsa ' s species in stasis by literally frightening them to death . Kim could not wake up and became a prisoner of the entity . He was rescued by Janeway when she tricked The Clown into releasing the prisoners in exchange for her . She substituted her hologram for herself . ( ) 2373 . In 2373 , Kim and Paris were falsely arrested and were incarcerated in an Akritirian prison ship , where they suffered great physical and mental abuse . Even though Janeway found the real terrorist who had actually committed the crime , the Akritirians refused to release them . Kim attended to Paris ' s wounds when he was stabbed by an inmate . With no medical assistance available , Kim made a deal with another inmate for some supplies to clean up his crewmate and friend . Later , Kim almost killed Paris when he found a delirious Paris taking apart the tool that Kim had used to neutralize the force field surrounding the prison . He regained his composure and fought furiously to defend Tom against the other inmates when " Voyager " attacked the prison and freed them both . ( ) In 1996 , when " Voyager " was in orbit of Earth after entering a temporal distortion from 2373 , Captain Janeway left Kim in command of the ship while she , Chakotay , Paris and Tuvok went to Los Angeles to locate Braxton . Kim later took " Voyager " down into Earth ' s atmosphere to beam Janeway and Chakotay from Chronowerx Industries and from Henry Starling and Dunbar , as the long range transporters were offline . Janeway later told Kim that he didn ' t do too badly for his first time in the command chair . ( ) In early 2373 , he fell in love with a holodeck character , who was actually an alien remotely manipulating the character . He became very jealous of Tuvok when the holodeck character became infatuated with Tuvok . The alien was a lonely operator assigned to a deep space array near a nebula . ( ) Later that year , Kim began to exhibit the appearance of alien markings on his face . When " Voyager " visited a planet inhabited by the Taresian s , they explained that Kim was conceived on their world , but his embryo was implanted in an Earth woman , to bring an infusion of new genetic material back to their race . At first Kim decided to stay on his " true homeworld " , but later Kim realized that Taresian men are killed on their wedding night after the women extract enough genetic material to conceive children . In fact he was not Taresian but infected with a retro virus to produce the Taresian DNA . The crew was able to disrupt a force field around the planet and beam up Kim and leave the area . ( ) At the end of the year , " Voyager " arrived in Borg space . They found a passage that seemed devoid of any Borg . After a fleet of cubes had passed " Voyager " , ignoring it , Kim determined that the fleet had been destroyed . Upon investigating the debris , he was attacked by Species 8472 and wounded . His body was invaded by alien cells that were destroying his own cells . He was cured when The Doctor used Borg nanoprobe s to cure him . ( ) 2374 . Kim and The Doctor were two of the members of the crew not put into the Hirogen holoprogram hunts after the Hirogen captured " Voyager " . Kim was forced to continue to expand and upgrade the hunting holoprograms . He worked on a way to disable the neural blockers used by the Hirogens , so the crew could remember who they were . He was successful and helped rescue the crew by disabling the holoprograms . ( ) On exploring a demon planet , his DNA was used by Silver Blood aliens to duplicate him , so they could experience consciousness . ( ) 2375 . In 2375 , Kim helped build a technologically - advanced shuttle called the " Delta Flyer " . That same year , Kim encountered the Malon . They attempted to steal an advanced probe belonging to " Voyager " . Kim , along with Paris , Seven of Nine and Torres , used the shuttle to retrieve the probe and fight off the Malon . ( ) He became involved with a Varro female named Derran Tal who was a rebel planning on separating the Varro generation ship . This affair brought him in conflict with Captain Janeway who disapproved of the relationship . He defied Janeway and continued to see Derran . Kim developed a biological bond that the Varro called the shared heart . The Doctor developed an antidote for the condition . After the Varro ship left and he and Darren parted , Kim refused to take medicine for his lovesick condition , because the pain would remind him of the happiness he felt . ( ) About nine months after the events on the demon planet , Kim ' s silver blood duplicate and the rest of " Voyager " s duplicate crew , experienced severe cellular degradation , initially believing they were the real crew and operating the real starship . Kim spearheaded the drive to return to the demon planet when Chakotay became too sick to function , ultimately convincing the dying duplicate Janeway . As acting captain after Janeway died , Kim tried to hold together a quickly - disintegrating ship , until it could return to the Demon Planet and safety . In the duplicate " Voyager " s last minutes , the desperate crew detected glimpses of the real " Voyager " through degraded sensors , and Kim sent a final plea for help – tragically warranting only a vague distress call entry in Janeway ' s captain ' s log . ( ) He and Paris discovered that their favorite holoprogram , " The Adventures of Captain Proton " , had mistakenly been taken seriously by an alien race . They believed that they were about to be attacked . They had to defeat the program ' s villain , Doctor Chaotica , to stop the alien attack on " Voyager " . ( ) 2376 . After receiving a distress call on the night shift , Ensign Kim diverted " Voyager " to the site . After confidence - boosting approval from Chakotay on " doing the right thing " , senior command crew granted Kim the opportunity to expand his leadership skills , by leading an away mission for assistance . They found an artificially - intelligent probe - like machine , which crashed on the planet . At The Doctor ' s insistence that they beam the device aboard for repairs – after some debate , Kim prudently added security measures to the investigation , and transferred it to sickbay due to the probe ' s bio - neural components . Torres discovered the device was actually a weapon of mass destruction , and the warhead then hijacked The Doctor ' s program , trapping Torres and Kim in sickbay with The Doctor ' s control abilities . Using persistent diplomacy , technical analysis and citing The Doctor ' s growth as an AI , Kim was instrumental in showing and reasoning with the warhead that its launch was a mistake , and that the weapon ' s intentions and stubborn denial of rescinded orders could cause it to fail its mission to protect its originating people , by inciting an accidental second war . The weapon failed to convince its newly arrived identical warp - capable warheads about the rescinded orders – these new weapons then threatened " Voyager " s destruction if the damaged warhead was not re - integrated into their fleet for final blind destruction of their enemies . Kim ' s sadness was soothed , when despite the potential loss of its new - found enlightenment , the weapon found a new way to protect its people : destroying its brethren while traveling in subspace . ( ) Kim often found time to relax on the holodeck . He and Paris created a new holoprogram called " Fair Haven " . He dated one of the characters , Maggie O ' Halloran , who Paris turned into a cow as a prank . When the other characters in the program saw it they believed that Kim and Paris were evil spirits and attempted to send them back to the otherworld . The characters had become self - aware due to a hologram failure . ( ) Later , he became reunited with a crewmate for whom he had romantic feelings . Ensign Lyndsay Ballard had been killed in an away mission , only to be discovered by the Kobali who resurrected her . They reanimated her by altering her DNA and transformed her into a Kobali . The Doctor used medical techniques to begin the transformation of her back to Human form , but too little of her Human DNA remained for him to complete the procedure . He was , however , able to use cosmetic techniques to make her appear Human . Her Kobali father boarded " Voyager " and asked her to come back ; when she refused , his ships opened fire on " Voyager " . Kim tried to persuade her to stay , but she had been transformed into a Kobali and wished to save " Voyager " from future attacks so she left . ( ) As a member of an away team Kim retained memories of a massacre which took place many years ago . The memorial was put in his neural pathways by a synaptic generator left as a monument on the planet he visited . Kim suffered terrible guilt because the memories of the soldier , who had killed two civilians , was transposed on him . ( ) Kim , along with Paris , Chakotay , and Neelix , were on the " Delta Flyer " , when a Borg cube tractored the shuttle inside the cube . The cube was piloted by Borg children who were left alone after a virus had killed the adults . Kim was injured , but recovered and attempted to destroy the cube ' s generator . He and the others were rescued by Seven of Nine who persuaded the children to let them go . ( ) He was stranded on a pre - industrial planet with Torres . He was able to restore the shuttle , when Torres was able to secure minerals and metals for stories she gave to the local playwright . He and Torres returned to " Voyager " . ( ) 2377 . In the last year of " Voyager " s journey home , Kim helped defeat the Borg and destroy Unimatrix Zero . He entered a galactic space race , only to find out that the woman he had feelings for , Irina , was a terrorist trying to sabotage the race . ( ) Kim assumed his first command when he took over a Kraylor ship that was in conflict with another alien race . He believed that the ship was carrying medicine , but was really a ship carrying cloaking technology . ( ) Kim congratulated his friend Tom Paris on his impending fatherhood and joked with him that his life would soon start spinning out of control . After Paris and his wife B ' Elanna Torres started having problems , Kim accepted Paris ' request to sleep in his quarters . ( ) Kim took command of " Voyager " when nearly the entire crew was kidnapped and brainwashed by the and put into their workforce . Taking command also put Kim into conflict with The Doctor , who had been in command after Janeway re - activated him as an ECH . Kim and The Doctor put their differences aside after the crew was successfully recovered . ( ) 2378 . In 2378 , Kim was part of an away team sent to an unidentified planet to retrieve an early Earth probe called " Friendship 1 " . It was " Voyager " s first official mission from Starfleet in seven years . However , Neelix , Tom Paris , and Joseph Carey were captured by the natives , whose atmosphere on the planet had been poisoned by radiation from the probe . However , Kim and Chakotay were able to escape back to " Voyager " aboard the " Delta Flyer II " . Kim later assisted " Voyager " s crew in removing the harmful contaminants in the atmosphere using modified photon torpedo es . ( ) Later , Kim was in command of " Voyager " when the " Delta Flyer II " sent an emergency message to the bridge from Captain Janeway . Janeway told Kim that she wanted to see Commander Chakotay in her ready room as soon as possible . Janeway told Chakotay and the rest of the senior staff that a species called the R ' Kaal demanded that " Voyager " be disassembled , as warp travel through their region of space was forbidden . Janeway claimed that she barely made it back to " Voyager " in one piece from them . She also claimed that she had made a compromise with them ; that they would surrender their warp core and settle on the nearest M - class planet . However , Chakotay had become concerned about Janeway ' s behavior and asked Kim to decode a transmission from the R ' Kaal ' s Supreme Archon , Loth . Kim discovered on the holodeck with Chakotay that Loth was merely a holodeck character created by The Doctor . Suddenly , The Doctor , disguised as Chakotay , subdued Kim with a hypospray . The Doctor , who had also disguised himself as Janeway , hid Kim in " Voyager " s morgue , where he also hid Chakotay ' s body . Kim and Chakotay were later found by Tom Paris , after The Doctor escaped with " Voyager " s warp core to deliver to Nar and Zet , who were holding Captain Janeway hostage . After the hostage crisis was over and the warp core was recovered , The Doctor ' s program began to malfunction after he had taken on many holographic templates of the crew . The Doctor , believing he was about to be lost forever , recounted to Kim when he told B ' Elanna Torres that his saxophone playing during his recital the previous month reminded him of a wounded targ . Fortunately , The Doctor was saved after Torres deleted all the extraneous data from his program . ( ) Later in 2378 , Kim began to get excited about returning home again , when Seven of Nine discovered numerous neutrino emissions inside a nebula , which translated into a number of wormholes . Paris jokingly told Kim that one of them could lead into his parents ' living room . " Voyager " entered the nebula , but found it to be infested with Borg . Janeway ordered " Voyager " be taken out of the nebula at once . Kim , not wanting to give up on the possibility of returning home , tried asking Paris to help him take the " Delta Flyer " inside the nebula . Paris , about to become a father , refused . However , a short time later , Admiral Kathryn Janeway time traveled from the year 2404 to try and get " Voyager " home sooner . With the advanced technology she brought from the future , " Voyager " dealt a crippling blow to the Borg by infecting them with a neurolytic pathogen and destroying one of their transwarp hub s . " Voyager " emerged from a transwarp hub in sector 001 after destroying a Borg sphere and Kim returned to Earth after seven years lost in the Delta Quadrant . ( ) Personal life . Harry Kim was born in South Carolina in 2349 . ( ) His personal interests included sport s , art , and music . Kim participated in various sports such as tennis and Parrises squares . ( ) His favorite sports were volleyball and Velocity . As a cadet at Starfleet Academy , Kim was involved in numerous athletic events as both the captain of the Velocity team and a three - time Academy champion of Parrises squares . ( ) Aboard " Voyager " , Kim was often seen enjoying a game of " kal - toh " with Tuvok , although he was unable to defeat the Vulcan officer during the seven years of " Voyager " s return trip to the Alpha Quadrant . ( ) Kim also played clarinet in the Juilliard Youth Symphony . When he served on the USS " Voyager " , he forgot his clarinet . He later replicated one with his replicator ration s and went on to perform with a jazz combo of officers , " Harry Kim and the Kimtones " . ( ) Harry Kim switched to the saxophone . ( ) Kim had a girlfriend named Libby , whom he met , by accident , at a Ktarian music festival , where he was sitting in her seat . After the incident , it took Kim three weeks to work up the courage to ask her on a date . After " Voyager " became stranded in the Delta Quadrant , in 2371 , Kim held on to his love for Libby and often woke up in the middle of the night calling her name , hoping for a response . ( ) Despite his continued affection for Libby , Kim had many failed relationship attempts while aboard " Voyager " . He confessed to a long - held infatuation with Academy classmate Lyndsay Ballard , who died during an away mission and was then revived by an alien race known as the Kobali . ( ) Kim ' s other failed infatuations include crewmate Megan Delaney , ( ) a holographic character named Marayna , ( ) and an alien terrorist named Irina . ( ) In 2374 , Kim became infatuated with Seven of Nine shortly after she was released from the Borg Collective . Seven , however , did not return the affection due to her incomplete understanding of Human culture . When she confronted Kim regarding his feelings for her , she attempted to initiate an intimate encounter with him , forcing an awkward Kim to defuse the situation . The result of their encounter , however , did set the foundation for developing a friendship . ( ) In 2375 , Kim became involved in a forbidden affair with a Varro engineer named Derran Tal . Harry fell deeply in love with Derran , in part because of a special bond created between the two called " olan ' vora " , which he contracted following intimate relations with the Varro . ( ) Tom Paris . After " Voyager " became stranded in the Delta Quadrant , Kim became good friends with Tom Paris . They often spent much time together in the holodeck . During their time on " Voyager " , Kim became Paris ' best friend . Paris first met Harry Kim on board Deep Space 9 , where a Ferengi bartender named Quark wanted to sell Kim some crystals . Quark was about to scam Kim , when Paris sunk the deal the Ferengi wanted to make and prevented Kim from paying too much for the crystals . When Paris reported on board " Voyager " , Kim noticed the cold behavior between some of the crew and Paris . Kim found out that there was an accident as a result of a pilot error which Tom tried to hide by falsifying reports but which he finally admitted was his fault . After Paris told him to stay away from him , Kim told him he could choose his own friends and their friendship started . ( ) They had double dates with the Delaney sisters and spent a lot of time in the holodeck . Kim was shy and unsure around the opposite sex , and went to Paris for relationship advice . In Paris ' opinion , Kim always fell in love with the wrong women . ( , " Ashes to Ashes " ) " " You wanna know what I remember ? Someone saying , ' this man is my friend , nobody touches him , ' I ' ll remember that for a long time . . . " " Parents . Kim was very close to his parents , Mary and John Kim . He was in contact with them every week , even during his training missions . They lived in South Carolina . His mother was a school teacher . She became upset because Harry had left his clarinet behind when he was assigned to " Voyager " and she did not have enough time to send it to him . ( ) On his mother ' s birthday in 2377 , he got to speak to his parents face - to - face for the first time in seven years . During the conversation his mother stated that Harry was very popular with her 8th graders . Harry Kim ' s parents were bothered that he hadn ' t been promoted . ( ) Ancestors . In " about " 2210 , Harry ' s " uncle " Jack piloted a sleeper ship on a deep - space exploration trip to Beta Capricus . The rest of the crew went into stasis while Jack spent the six months piloting the ship himself alone . Upon arrival , the " star " was found not to exist and to be only an electromagnetic echo of a distant galaxy . Jack chose not to wake the rest of the crew before returning , after a further six - month journey back to Earth . When they awoke in Earth orbit they initially questioned why they had never left . ( ) Holograms . Harry Kim has been holographically duplicated on a number of occasions . Alternate realities and timelines . In one alternate timeline created in 2371 , Kim found himself back in San Francisco , assigned to the Starfleet Engineer Corps , living with Libby , who was at the time his fiancée . Kim was a starship design specialist who received the Cochrane Medal of Excellence for Outstanding Advances in Warp Theory , who received a certificate of completion for completing Academy Extension Course # 4077 , who received a Flight Proficiency Award from Starfleet Academy , and was responsible for designing the new tetryon plasma warp engine s for the . His shuttle entered an alien time stream that changed his timeline . He was helped by Cosimo , one of the aliens , and the Tom Paris of that timeline ( without Kim , it was Paris who Quark tried to rip off - he attacked the Ferengi , was arrested by Odo , and was still in the brig when " Voyager " left DS9 ) , to return to " Voyager " . ( ) In another timeline , Kim married Linnis Paris , the daughter of Tom Paris and Kes . The couple had a son named Andrew . He had previously served as the best man at Paris and Kes ' wedding . ( ) In yet another timeline , Kim and Chakotay flew the " Delta Flyer " to Earth after " Voyager " was destroyed due to a mistake of Kim ' s , an erroneous phase correction to the slipstream threshold of the quantum slipstream drive he chiefly designed . Fifteen years later , as fugitives , they found " Voyager " and " fixed " history . With a Borg temporal transmitter that they stole from Starfleet they sent a message back in time to prevent the crash . Kim had blamed himself for what happened to " Voyager " , and as such was more aggressive to The Doctor ( the only survivor of the crash because he was a computer program ) . For example , he threatened to shut him down for good if he didn ' t help save " Voyager " , something The Doctor was reluctant to do since it meant altering the timeline . After Kim failed yet again to save " Voyager " , and with the " Flyer " , damaged by the , three minutes from a warp core breach , he completely fell apart , bursting into tears and bitterly accepting his final failure . The Doctor , however , would have none of it , and gave Kim the idea ( which , due to his obsession with trying to get " Voyager " home , had not even crossed his mind ) that , rather than preserving the slipstream , he should try avoid the disaster by ending the flight before it was too late , a suggestion Kim excitedly realized was in fact possible . His broken spirit rejuvenated by the knowledge that , while a return to the Alpha Quadrant was out of the question , the ship and crew could still be saved , Kim succeeded at the last possible second by using The Doctor ' s mobile emitter to power the transmitter and send a message to " Voyager " , dying with his arms raised in triumph . ( ) In yet another timeline , Kim commanded the starship in the early 25th century . He was on a four - year mission , missing a number of events , including Chakotay ' s funeral . He was sent by The Doctor ( he contacted Kim directly to keep the matter " in the family " ) to stop Vice Admiral Janeway from interfering with 33 years of history . However , she convinced him to assist her by holding off two Klingon ships . ( ) Appendices . Background information . Harry Kim was played by actor Garrett Wang throughout the run of . Taylor Chong portrayed the infant Harry Kim in the second season episode and actor Kenny Yee portrayed Harry Kim as a child in the flashback scene in the third season episode . According to the VOY Season 2 DVD trivia text version of , an early production name for Harry Kim was Jay Osaka . In the original , 1994 Writer ' s Bible for " Star Trek : Voyager " , the following biography was given for the character : In the first draft script for , Harry Kim was described as " " a young Starfleet Ensign in his early twenties . Looks fresh scrubbed and right out of the Academy . " " Apocrypha . According to the video game " " , Harry ' s father is named Han Myong Kim and his mother is named Shin Ok Kim . In the " Voyager " relaunch book series , Kim gets back together with Libby and is promoted to full lieutenant ( like many of his crewmates , Kim is promoted two steps in rank , to make up for the time spent in the Delta Quadrant where he could not normally receive promotions ) . Kim then serves under Captain Chakotay aboard " Voyager " as chief of security . In the novel " Pathways " , it is stated that a George Mathers was Kim ' s roommate at the Academy , not James MacAllister . Mathers developed a serious crush on Kim , only to be severely disappointed to the point of moving out when he found out that Kim was heterosexual . " However , it is possible that MacAllister simply became Kim ' s roommate after Mathers moved out . " According to the " Star Trek Online " tie - in novel " The Needs of the Many " , Harry Kim became the chief of security of Starbase 11 in 2400 . Kim appears in the second expansion , " Delta Rising " ( voiced once more by Garrett Wang ) as captain of the USS " Rhode Island " and Starfleet envoy to the Kobali , a race under siege by the Vaadwaur . In the mission " Dust to Dust " , it is revealed that the Kobali had found the body of the original Harry Kim from the episode " Deadlock " and had reanimated him as a Kobali named Keten .
