Neelix is a Talaxian male, leader of the New Talax community, and Federation ambassador to the Delta Quadrant. He is best known for his tenure as the U.S.S. Voyager's Chef and guide while the ship was lost in the Delta Quadrant from 2371 to 2378.
History
In 2371 Neelix encountered the Federation starship U.S.S. Voyager when the ship was lost in the Delta Quadrant. After proving his knowledge of the region and his skill as a chef to Captain Kathryn Janeway, Neelix was allowed to join the crew as chef and guide to the Quadrant. Neelix would remain on Voyager during the next seven years, until meeting Dexa and joining her on an asteroid colony inhabited by a group of ca. 500 Talaxians located tens of thousands of lightyears away from their homeworld.
By 2410, the Talaxian community has grown to ca. 3,000 members and moved to a different asteroid colony in the Entaba System. Neelix has become the de-facto leader of the colony and is helping his fellow Talaxians find a new planet to call home. Upon the arrival of the Delta Alliance, Neelix was also made Federation Ambassador to the Delta Quadrant.
Missions involved
“Reunion”: Players meet Neelix on the asteroid colony in the Entaba System and help him prepare the colony to travel to their new homeworld.- “All That Glitters”: The player calls on Neelix for assistance in finding a neutral location for a diplomatic meeting with Gaul. He offers the use of the asteroid colony which is only sparsely populated after the migration to New Talax.
- “Alliances”: Neelix is tasked with persuading the Hazari to join the coalition of Delta Quadrant species in countering the threat of the Vaadwaur.
- “Takedown”: Neelix accompanies the Hazari as they and the other Delta Quadrant species launch a joint assault on Vaadwaur Prime to defeat Gaul and the Vaadwaur loyal to him once and for all. After the battle, the player speaks with Neelix about the events that led to the Vaadwaur's resurgence and defeat.
Events

- Q's Winter Wonderland (December & January each year): As Q has tasked him to "bake what no one had baked before", Neelix asks players to bring him recipes found in the “Winter Invasion” and ingredients scattered all over the area to create winter-themed foods. The food created with these recipes can be fed to any type of tribble to create a winter tribble. These tasks take the form of missions.
Outline
Recipes can be found in Winter Wonderland's “Winter Invasion” mission. Bring these to Neelix who will guide you collect, buy and or replicate certain ingredients to make these winter foods. The food created with these recipes can be fed to any type of tribble to create a Winter Tribble. These tasks take the form of missions.
Recipes
Recipes are required to make any of the winter event consumable foods. The recipes are found during the “Winter Invasion” Task Force Operation. It's location is highlighted by a green circle on your minimap and must be collected before the TFO is completed. When someone on your team obtains it you will receive a popup saying that you have found it, but you will not have collected it until you interact with the package yourself.
You can obtain one recipe during Winter Invasion, which will be one of the following;
- Trixian Bubble Candy recipe
- Snaildoodles recipe
- Rum. Buttered. Hot. recipe
- Candied Tube Grubs recipe
- Deka Tea Loaf recipe
- Glazed Ham recipe
- Jellied Gree-Worm recipe
Once collected the recipes will appear in your inventory. When you've obtained a recipe, speak with Neelix to begin the mission and start collecting ingredients.
Ingredients
After obtaining a recipe you need the ingredients to make/bake the food. There are two categories of ingredient: those found scattered around the Winter Wonderland, and those that cannot, which you can obtain from your replicator, some of which require specific duty officers, from specific NPCs outside the Wonderland, or both. All the items not scattered around the Wonderland can also be found on the exchange.
- Baking Ingredients: These ten items are located throughout Q's Winter Wonderland: Sugar, Butter, Gelatin, Ginger, Cinnamon, Flour, Eggs, Mint, Milk and Chocolate. To find these locations bring up your map and look for the dotted circle areas.
- Eggs, Gelatin and Mint can be found on the path leading out from the gingerbread village.
- Chocolate and Milk can be found at the start of the Fast and Flurrious race track.
- Butter and Ginger can be found at the igloo along the Fastest Game on Ice race track.
- Flour and Sugar can be found near the small army of snowmen outside the path to the Tide of Ice area.
- Cinnamon can be found out in the woods near the Panicked Gingerbread NPC.
- Basic Replicatable ingredients: These items anyone can obtain from the replicator in your inventory menu: [Synthale], [Bajoran Deka Tea], [Bajoran Kava Juice], [Bajoran Mapa Bread], [Klingon Targ Milk], [Klingon Raktajino], [Root Beer], and [Ferengi Snail Juice]. KDF captains cannot replicate Root Beer, so Neelix will cover that ingredient for them. Neelix also mentions having Ham and [Heart of Targ] on hand for the Glazed Ham and Glazed Targ recipes, respectively.
- Special Replicatable ingredients: Two items require having specific duty officers on your roster: For [Ferengi Jellied Gree-worm], you must have a Ferengi chef of Uncommon or higher quality, and for [Trixian Bubble Juice], you must have a bartender of Uncommon or higher quality, though any species will do.
- Purchase/Special Replicate ingredients: These are items you can purchase from specific NPCs or replicate if you have a specific chef on your staff: [Bajoran Jumja Stick], which can be purchased on Bajor or DS9, or replicated with a Bajoran chef; [Betazoid Uttaberry], which can be purchased from many places such as Drozana station or DS9, or replicated with a Betazoid chef; [Ferengi Tube Grubs], which can be purchased on DS9's promenade, or replicated with the aforementioned Ferengi chef; and [Tranya], which can be purchased from the bartender in Paradise City on Nimbus III, or replicated with a Very Rare bartender duty officer.
Once you have all necessary ingredients you can talk to Neelix and complete the mission and be rewarded with several of the food you have created (between 5 and 10) and several holiday commodities such as Bolian Candles, Terran Holiday Ornaments and Targ Fur Earmuffs (between 2 and 5). The exact quantities are random every time.
