Kipp was a humanoid individual of an unspecified species who lived in the 24th century in the Delta Quadrant. He was a merchant who took up residence on the planetoid Velos. In the year 2377, the con artist Gar stole 3,000 induction units from Kipp, who believed he was going to get payed. When the USS Voyager crew tracked Gar's activities to Kipp two days later, Kipp claimed that he trusted Gar due to a recommendation from a buyer. He then directed them to the buyer, who gave the recommendation because Gar and his wife were "friends". (VOY episode: "Critical Care")
