    I think they will all be dead.

    They also will have had an equivalent of Justin Bieber who came along a year or two after Voyager left. However, unlike our society, theirs did the natural and correct thing and committed mass suicide.

    I lol'd. A lot. :D

    Going by real life science the species probably doesn't resemble humans much anymore aka doesn't exist anymore having speciated possibly many times since then depending on the living conditions on their planet.

    Statistically they are relatively save from cosmic desasters like solar flares and asteroids since everything outside their atmosphere was progressing at "normal" speeds.

    They are also likely to never explore space beyond their orbit because every probe or astronaut will return thousands of years after they were born, unless they invent time travel to the degree that they can pretty much pop back into their own relative time frame at will.
    Space Travel would most likely be a very... problematic thing for them. Maybe they would actually eventually send out colony ships and all that stuff (but testing FTL engines in an atmosphere may be hard), but they will never really see the fruit of their labors. And one has to wonder if there are limits to technological achievement if you're locked to your planet - once they leave it, they'll be as slow or fast as the rest of the galaxy.

    I suppose an intersting use for them could be to leave their planet behind and only use it as a production factory. They would still need to provide a ton of base materials (since the planet's resources will be limited), but they could probably drop base components on the planet and a few hours later a whole fleet of ships could emerge. Of course, it could be that during one of the 30 worker revolutions in that time, 2 world wars and one Skynet machine uprising, this fleet of ships will be coming after you...

    Yeah, I already got that. But maybe they are just too obvious. A distraction from the real deal.

    Of cause they are just distraction, they are just another pawn of the Iconians and what ever they are up to. :P

    By the time Voyager left they were already able to leave there world for a relatively short period of time, it more than possible that they developed the technology to the point where they can maintain this for permanently until they turn it off. That also suggests they obtained the level of technology needed for warp drive.
    Through they also discussed the possibility that now voyager left their species could stagnate.

    They won't be talking to us, because the Prime Directive forbids them from interfering with the natural evolution of less advanced or evolved species such as ourselves. :p
