PERFORMER | Angie Milliken |
DEBUT | 1999 |
Volmae appears in the Farscape episode "Thank God It's Friday. Again."
She presents herself to John Crichton and the Moya crew as being the leader of the planet Sykar. However, she is only a puppet for the Peacekeepers, who are using the planet to harvest tannot root, with no regard for the effects it has on the planet or its population.
She is immune to the effects of the tannot root because she has a worm inside of her that filters the effects of the root. She knows that the plant has some kind of value to the Peacekeepers but is unsure of its actual purpose. Her plan is to steal the last batch of tannot root and escape with it on Moya, so she attempts to get everyone from the crew down on the planet so she can control them.
However, Crichton has also recieved the worm that makes him immune to the tannont root's effects. He discovers her plans and the true purpose of what the Peacekeepers use the tannot root for. He manages to convince Volmae that the Peacekeepers use the root to fuel their weapons, and that the Sykarans can fight against the Peacekeepers and reverse the effects the tannot root has had on their planet.
