Vaadwaur sentry satellite
A Vaadwaur sentry satellite was a type of surveillance satellite used by the Vaadwaur. One such satellite was placed above the main city on the Vaadwaur homeworld, and survived in orbit of the planet for nearly nine centuries.

In 2376, the satellite was still operational and was accessed by Gedrin to provide targeting data to the  on the surface, allowing them to launch a photon torpedo strike on a Turei vessel in orbit. After the remaining Vaadwaur attacked Voyager, Gedrin sent data from the satellite to the Turei, so that they could target the Vaadwaur assault fighters in the radioactive atmosphere and the underground chambers where the Vaadwaur had survived in stasis.
