One man's loyalty and desire to please leads the crew of the U.S.S. Voyager into danger in this episode of the sci-fi television series Star Trek: Voyager. Neelix (Ethan Phillips) is having a crisis of confidence; worried that he has outlived his usefulness aboard the Voyager, he's looking for a way to prove to Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) and the crew that he can still pull his weight. While on a supply stop in the Nekrit Expanse, Neelix needs to find a detailed map of the area and a supply of pergium for the engineering department. In Nekrit, Neelix runs into a old friend, Wixiban (James Nardini), who sometimes works outside the boundaries of the law. Wixiban offers to help Neelix make a trade for the items he needs, but it isn't until after he's forced to kill one of the traders that Neelix realizes Wixiban has implicated him in an illegal drug deal. Star Trek: Voyager 56: Fair Trade first aired on January 8, 1997.
