The Rukani were a people included in the holographic program Insurrection Alpha. In the scenario, upon entering the Rukani sector, Captain Janeway and Lieutenant Paris were taking a shuttle for a 24-hour visit with the Rukani. Although a seemingly friendly species, Chakotay suggested that perhaps she should take Tuvok along in case they turn out to not be as friendly as they appeared. This was, however, Chakotay's attempt to get Tuvok off the USS Voyager.
