Other Ocampa who escaped to the surface

Which Ocampan story would you most like to hear about?

We know that Kes is not the first Ocampa to find her way to the surface, and get captured by the Kazon. So what might some other escaped Ocampas' stories be?

Are there a few Ocampa/Kazon marriages, and thus hybrids?

Might there be some small communities of Ocampa living on the desert surface, using their telepathy to keep one step ahead of the Kazon?

Escaped Ocampa would almost certainly become allies to the Trabe (enemies of the Kazon).

Some Kazon has surely sold an Ocampa slave to another species, leading to Ocampa presence elsewhere in the galaxy.

Have some unfortunate Ocampa become guinea pigs for Vidiian scientists? What mental powers might a Vidiian scientist accidentally unlock in an Ocampa?

With the Caretaker snagging ships from all over the galaxy, an Oacampa slave might also end up with Hirogen, Romulans, or on a Dominion ship. An Ocampa in a Hirogen crew might use their telepathy to aid in the Hunt. An Ocampa amongst Romulans might foresee the destruction of Romulus as their ship tries to get home.

Speaking of the Dominion, the Founders sent baby Changelings all across the galaxy. It's a major missed opportunity that Voyager never encountered one. But if one landed on Ocampa, you might have two individuals both with questions about their species' pasts, who end up teaming up to escape the Kazon. Or an Ocampa and Changeling might meet in a Vidiian lab.

The Caretaker's death might force the Ocampa back to the surface, leading to a war with the Kazon. And said war would undoubtedly force the Ocampa to develop their mental powers further.

Might some Ocampa end up stealing a ship from the Kazon and set out to find that female Caretaker?

Discuss.
 
If I was doing a rogue Ocampa story their arc would be a superhero arc. I would do one episode in Season 1 where they'd been captured by the Kazon and Kes finds out about them and Voyager does a rescue and goes on it's merry way, leaving the Ocampa in some safe refuge. Then in Season 3 they stumble upon some planet and there is a a guardian of the world and it's the Ocampa, whose powers have had an increase like what happened to Kes in "The Gift." This story would be like the opposite of those "absolute power corrupts" stories, in that the Ocampa is doing the same ascension thing that happened to Kes and has to make peace with it.
 
Maybe we should mention those Ocampa who left with Suspiria to live on her array.
They did after all leave the planet.
But why didn't Suspiria find a planet for them to live on?
 
I would like to see the Ocampa experimneting with their powers. Maybe use some Star Wars inspirations there. If you want, maybe they could meet alien species I made, known as the Bohandi. Or maybe Barash's people.

Maybe a station makes Suspiria control these Ocampa easier, and Suspiria thought it's easier to defend from outsiders.
