Star Trek: Voyager is an American science fiction television series created by Rick Berman, Michael Piller, and Jeri Taylor. It originally aired between January 16, 1995 and May 23, 2001 on UPN, lasting for 172 episodes over seven seasons. The fifth series in the Star Trek franchise, it served as the fourth sequel to Star Trek: The Original Series. Set in the 24th century, when Earth is part of a United Federation of Planets, it follows the adventures of the Starfleet vessel USS Voyager, as it attempts to return home after being stranded in the Delta Quadrant on the far side of the Milky Way galaxy.

Paramount Pictures commissioned the series following the termination of Star Trek: The Next Generation to accompany their ongoing Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. They wanted it to help launch their new network, UPN. Berman, Piller, and Taylor devised the series to chronologically overlap with Deep Space Nine and to continue themes—namely the complex relationship between Starfleet and ex-Federation colonists known as the Maquis—which had been introduced in The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine. Voyager was the first Star Trek series to include CGI technology for space scenes and the first to feature a female captain, Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew), as the lead character. Berman served as head executive producer in charge of the overall production, assisted by a series of executive producers: Piller, Taylor, Brannon Braga, and Kenneth Biller.

Being set in a different part of the galaxy to preceding Star Trek shows, Voyager gave the series' writers space to introduce new alien species as recurring characters, namely the Kazon, Vidiians, Hirogen, and Species 8472. During the later seasons, the Borg—a species created for The Next Generation—were introduced as the main antagonists. During Voyager's run, various episode novelisations and tie-in video games were produced; after the show ended, various novels continued the crew's adventures.

Production[edit]

Episodes Star Trek: Voyager. Stardate: 50312.5 While trying to rescue Paris and Tuvok, Torres and Chakotay are captured by a gang of weapons smugglers who believe that they are from the government. This American science fiction TV series is the 4th sequel of Star Trek: The Original Series and the 5th series in the Star Trek Franchise. Star Trek Voyager is set in a futuristic universe that sees Earth as a member of a confederate network called the United Federation of Planets.

As Star Trek: The Next Generation ended, Paramount Pictures wanted to continue to have a second Star Trek TV series to accompany Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. The studio also planned to start a new television network, and wanted the new series to help it succeed.[3] This was reminiscent of Paramount's earlier plans to launch its own network by showcasing Star Trek: Phase II in 1977.

Initial work on Star Trek: Voyager began in 1993, when the seventh and final season of Star Trek: The Next Generation and the second season of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine were in production. Seeds for Voyager's backstory, including the development of the Maquis, were placed in several The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine episodes. Voyager was shot on the stages The Next Generation had used, and where the Voyager pilot 'Caretaker' was shot in September 1994. Costume designer Robert Blackman decided that the uniforms of Voyager's crew would be the same as those on Deep Space Nine.

Star Trek: Voyager was the first Star Trek series to use computer-generated imagery (CGI), rather than models, for exterior space shots.[4]Babylon 5 and seaQuest DSV had previously used CGI to avoid the expense of models, but the Star Trek television department continued using models because they felt they were more realistic. Amblin Imaging won an Emmy for Voyager's opening CGI title visuals, but the weekly episode exteriors were captured with hand-built miniatures of Voyager, its shuttlecraft, and other ships. This changed when Voyager went fully CGI for certain types of shots midway through season three (late 1996).[5]Foundation Imaging was the studio responsible for special effects during Babylon 5's first three seasons. Season three's 'The Swarm' was the first episode to use Foundation's effects exclusively. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine began using Foundation Imaging in conjunction with Digital Muse in season six. In its later seasons, Voyager featured visual effects from Foundation Imaging and Digital Muse. The digital effects were produced at standard television resolution and some have speculated that it cannot be re-released in HD format without re-creating the special effects.[6] However, Enterprise has been released in HD, but the special effects were rendered in 480p and upscaled.[7]

Plot overview[edit]

An artistic rendition of the actual Milky Way galaxy, overlaid with the fictional quadrant system of the Star Trek universe and the location of certain species. Voyager had to make its way from above where the Kazon species is located back to Earth; this journey is a major plot element in the series

Summary[edit]

In the pilot episode, 'Caretaker', USS Voyager departs the Deep Space Nine space station on a mission into the treacherous Badlands. They are searching for a missing ship piloted by a team of Maquis rebels, which Voyager's security officer, the Vulcan Lieutenant Tuvok, has secretly infiltrated. While in the Badlands, Voyager is enveloped by a powerful energy wave that kills several of its crew, damages the ship, and strands it in the galaxy's Delta Quadrant, more than 70,000 light-years from Earth. The wave was not a natural phenomenon. In fact, it was used by an alien entity known as the Caretaker to pull Voyager into the Delta Quadrant. The Caretaker is responsible for the continued care of the Ocampa, a race of aliens native to the Delta Quadrant, and has been abducting other species from around the galaxy in an effort to find a successor.

The Maquis ship was also pulled into the Delta Quadrant, and eventually the two crews reluctantly agree to join forces after the Caretaker space station is destroyed in a pitched space battle with another local alien species, the Kazon. Chakotay, leader of the Maquis group, becomes Voyager's first officer. B'Elanna Torres, a half-human/half-Klingon Maquis, becomes chief engineer. Tom Paris, whom Janeway released from a Federation prison to help find the Maquis ship, is made Voyager's helm officer. Due to the deaths of the ship's entire medical staff, the Doctor, an emergency medical hologram designed only for short-term use, is employed as the ship's full-time chief medical officer. Delta Quadrant natives Neelix, a Talaxian scavenger, and Kes, a young Ocampa, are welcomed aboard as the ship's chef/morale officer and the doctor's medical assistant, respectively.

Due to its great distance from Federation space, the Delta Quadrant is unexplored by Starfleet, and Voyager is truly going where no human has gone before. As they set out on their projected 75-year journey home, the crew passes through regions belonging to various species: the barbaric and belligerent Kazon; the organ-harvesting, disease-ravaged Vidiians; the nomadic hunter race the Hirogen; the fearsome Species 8472 from fluidic space; and most notably the Borg, whose home is the Delta Quadrant, so that Voyager has to move through large areas of Borg-controlled space in later seasons. They also encounter perilous natural phenomena, a nebulous area called the Nekrit Expanse ('Fair Trade', third season), a large area of empty space called the Void ('Night', fifth season), wormholes, dangerous nebulae and other anomalies.

However, Voyager does not always deal with the unknown. It is the third Star Trek series to feature Q, an omnipotent alien—and the second on a recurring basis, as Q made only one appearance on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Starfleet Command learns of Voyager's survival when the crew discovers an ancient interstellar communications network, claimed by the Hirogen, into which they can tap. This relay network is later disabled, but due to the efforts of Earth-based Lieutenant Reginald Barclay, Starfleet eventually establishes regular contact in the season-six episode 'Pathfinder', using a communications array and micro-wormhole technology.

In the first two episodes of the show's fourth season, Kes leaves the ship in the wake of an extreme transformation of her mental abilities, while Seven of Nine (known colloquially as Seven), a Borg drone who was assimilated as a six-year-old human girl, is liberated from the collective and joins the Voyager crew. As the series progresses, Seven begins to regain her humanity with the ongoing help of Captain Janeway, who shows her that emotions, friendship, love, and caring are more important than the sterile 'perfection' the Borg espouse. The Doctor also becomes more human-like, due in part to a mobile holo-emitter the crew obtains in the third season which allows the Doctor to leave the confines of sickbay. He discovers his love of music and art, which he demonstrates in the episode 'Virtuoso'. In the sixth season, the crew discovers a group of adolescent aliens assimilated by the Borg, but prematurely released from their maturation chambers due to a malfunction on their Borg cube. As he did with Seven of Nine, the Doctor rehumanizes the children; Azan, Rebi and Mezoti, three of them eventually find a new adoptive home while the fourth, Icheb, chooses to stay aboard Voyager.

Life for the Voyager crew evolves during their long journey. Traitors Seska and Michael Jonas are uncovered in the early months ('State of Flux', 'Investigations'); loyal crew members are lost late in the journey; and other wayward Starfleet officers are integrated into the crew. In the second season, the first child is born aboard the ship to Ensign Samantha Wildman; as she grows up, Naomi Wildman becomes great friends with her godfather, Neelix, and develops an unexpected and close relationship with Seven of Nine. Early in the seventh season, Tom Paris and B'Elanna Torres marry after a long courtship, and Torres gives birth to their child, Miral Paris, in the series finale. Late in the seventh season, the crew finds a colony of Talaxians on a makeshift settlement in an asteroid field, and Neelix chooses to bid Voyager farewell and live once again among his people.

Over the course of the series, the Voyager crew finds various ways to reduce their 75-year journey by five decades: shortcuts, in the episodes 'Night' and 'Q2'; technology boosts, in episodes 'The Voyager Conspiracy', 'Dark Frontier', 'Timeless' and 'Hope and Fear'; subspace corridors in 'Dragon's Teeth'; and a mind-powered push from a powerful former shipmate in 'The Gift'. Also, the crew is not able to use other trip-shortening opportunities, as seen in the episodes 'Prime Factors', 'Future's End', 'Eye of the Needle' and 'Inside Man'. A technical enhancement that will reduce their return to a two-year journey is found, but only by a duplicate crew in the episode 'Course: Oblivion', with this crew dying shortly before finding a way to communicate what they have learned to the “real” Voyager. After traveling for seven years, the remainder of the journey is shortened to a few minutes, when Voyager is able to access a Borg transwarp conduit in the series finale, 'Endgame'.

Historical stories[edit]

In the episode '11:59', first aired on May 5, 1999, the Millennium tower is built in Indiana starting in the year 2000. Captain Janeway enlists Seven of Nine to research her family history from the 21st Century to learn more about Shannon O'Donnel, Janeway's hero and inspiration to explore space. The story that the Captain has been told was that one of her ancestors had built the Millennium Tower, and that she was also one of the original female astronauts to visit Mars. Seven and Neelix discovers that the Captain's aunt had the details of O'Donnel's life wrong.

Altered timelines[edit]

The original “future” is changed when Admiral Janeway alters her original timeline and reduces the journey to seven years in the season finale, and one depicted in 'Relativity'.

Return voyage[edit]

Voyager's journey home was essentially a trek across a large fraction of the Milky Way. The estimated ~75-year-long duration of the voyage was reduced by several large jumps in distance that occurred in several episodes. A number of alternative timelines were explored due to the introduction of races possessing the ability to time travel such as in “Timeless”. One such timeline involves the death of the entire crew with only Chakotay, Harry and The Doctor surviving (One flaw in the timeline to be noted might also be Season 3 Episode 21, Before and After, when Kes informs Cpt. Janeway to avoid the Krenim and of the phase variance of their torpedo's but Cpt. Janeway fails to acknowledge this important tidbit of future events in Season 4 Episodes 8 and 9 Year of Hell.) . Only by altering the past does Voyager continue. Its tele-theater and the flexibility of the science fiction universe created by generations of Star Trek writers and production staff accommodate this and more, with the theatrical devices forming a palette of plot tools. The use of Borg technology in the final episode allowed Voyager to return home after a journey of only seven years.

Events that shortened Voyager's travel time home:

  • 10 years closer – 'The Gift'
  • about 2 years closer – 'Night'[8]
  • 10 years closer – 'Timeless'
  • 15 years closer – 'Dark Frontier'
  • 3 years closer – 'The Voyager Conspiracy'
  • 19 years closer - 'Q2' [9]

These jumps decreased the time needed to return by ~59 years. Counting elapsed time, by the end of the seventh and final season, assuming one year elapsed per season, Voyager was 35 years' travel from Federation space.

  • Remaining distance after seven years of travel – 'Endgame'

Body count[edit]

Although meant as a way of saving the Ocampa, the Caretaker's abduction caused the death of many of the Voyager Starfleet crew including some very critical roles including first officer, chief engineer, and medical staff.[10] This creates a labor shortage that has to be filled in various ways, in particular the Maquis crew, who lost their ship, are able to fill some of the highest-ranking positions including first officer and chief engineer. Voyager successfully recovers Tuvok, who was working as a spy, and he is also able to join the crew. However, over the course of the next seven years according to the theatrically exposed timeline over 40 crew are killed.[10] Sources of new crew-members included taking on the Maquis crew, aliens, and other sources.[10] The number of on-screen actors does not exceed the amount of possible crew over the course of the seven seasons.[10]

Relationships[edit]

The series depicts a crew stuck together for a long time and far from home, so personal attraction transcends Starfleet ranks between some officers. Over the series, characters were depicted having romantic encounters ranging from encounters with aliens, other crew members, and holograms. An example of this is when Tuvok has a sexual encounter with a hologram of his wife when hit with the Vulcan species' Pon farr experience. Voyager had a distinct narrative of relationships, with episodes touching marriage proposals, pregnancies, and the struggle of children dealing with various parental issues including failed marriages.[11]

Another example from the series is when Seven of Nine sexually propositions Harry Kim, instructing him to strip naked.[12] The series explores relationships and friendships between the characters in general, especially resolving tension over events and the interplay between events in a person's life and how those events impact a friendship in a crew setting.[13][14]Examples of episodes that explore two characters; friendship or romance, or interactions:[13]

Captain Janeway took command of the Intrepid-class USS Voyager in 2371.

Her first mission is to locate and capture a Maquis vessel last seen in the area of space known as the Badlands. While there, the Maquis ship and Voyager are transported against their will into the Delta Quadrant, 70,000 light-years away, by a massive displacement wave.The Maquis ship is destroyed while fighting the Kazon-Ogla, and although Voyager survives, numerous casualties are suffered. To protect an intelligent species (the Ocampa), Janeway destroys a device, the Caretaker Array, which had the potential to return her crew to Federation space, stranding her ship and crew 75 years' travel from home. The reason is to stop the array from falling into the wrong hands and to protect the people the Caretaker was caring for.

Characters and races[edit]

As with other Star Trek series, the original Star Trek's Vulcans, Klingons, and Romulans appear in Star Trek: Voyager.[19]Voyager had appearances by several other races who initially appear in The Next Generation: the Q, the Borg, Cardassians, Bajorans, Betazoids, and Ferengi, along with Deep Space Nine's Jem'Hadar (via hologram), as well as the Maquis resistance movement, previously established in episodes of The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine.[19]

One notable connection between Voyager and The Next Generation appears regarding a wormhole and the Ferengi. In The Next Generation season-three episode 'The Price', bidding takes place for rights to a wormhole. The Ferengi send a delegation to the bidding. When the Enterprise and Ferengi vessel each send shuttles into the wormhole, they appear in the Delta Quadrant, where the Ferengi shuttle becomes trapped. In the Voyager season-three episode 'False Profits', the Ferengi who were trapped have since landed on a nearby planet, and begun exploiting the inhabitants for profit.

Actors from other Star Trek incarnations appearing on Voyager[edit]

In some cases, the actors play the same character as elsewhere, such as Dwight Schultz who plays Reginald Barclay. In other cases, the same actors play different characters.

  • Michael Ansara is one of seven actors to play the same character (in his case the Klingon commander Kang) on three different Star Trek TV series—the original series ('Day of the Dove'), Deep Space Nine ('Blood Oath'), and Voyager ('Flashback').
  • Vaughn Armstrong, who portrayed a wide variety of guest characters throughout the show's run, later went on to portray Admiral Forrest in Star Trek: Enterprise.

Behind-the-scenes[edit]

In August 2015, the main cast members (except Jennifer Lien, who retired from acting in 2002) appeared together onstage in Las Vegas for the 20th anniversary of Star Trek: Voyager at the 2015 Las Vegas Star Trek convention.[23]

Robert Duncan McNeill (Paris) and Roxann Dawson (Torres) have also directed episodes of Star Trek: Enterprise, while Jonathan Frakes, LeVar Burton, and Andrew Robinson (Garak of Deep Space Nine) all directed episodes of Star Trek: Voyager.

The sets used for USS Voyager were reused for the Deep Space Nine episode 'Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges' for her sister ship USS Bellerophon (NCC-74705), both of which are Intrepid-class starships. The sickbay set of USS Voyager was also used as the Enterprise-E sickbay in the films Star Trek: First Contact and Star Trek: Insurrection. Additionally, the Voyager ready room and the engineering set were also used as rooms aboard the Enterprise-E in Insurrection.

The series is also available for streaming in the United States on CBS All Access, Hulu, Prime Video, and Netflix.

Distributions[edit]

The series was released on DVD in 2004 and again in 2017.[24] In addition to the episodes, the DVDs also include some extra videos related to the show.[24] There was an extra bonus video with the DVD set from the store Best Buy in 2004.[24]Voyager had releases of episodes on VHS format, such as a collectors set with a special display box for the tapes.[26]

By the 2010s, the episodes were made available on various streaming services including the owners CBS All Access[27][28] In 2016 Netflix made an agreement with CBS for worldwide distribution of all then existing 727 Star Trek episodes (including Voyager).[28]Voyager has 172 episodes and has been reviewed as a binge watch, with the whole series taking about three months, as rate of two episodes per day on weekdays and three episodes per day on weekends.[29] As of 2015 services known to carry the series include Netflix, Amazon Prime, Google Play, iTunes, and CBS.com.[29]

Star Trek: Voyager has not been remastered in high definition and there are no plans to do so, due to the costs of reassembling each episode from the film negatives and recreating visual effects.[30]

Music[edit]

Of Star Trek: Voyager composed by Jerry Goldsmith.
Problems playing this file? See media help.

Unlike The Next Generation, where composer Jerry Goldsmith's theme from Star Trek: The Motion Picture was reused, Goldsmith composed and conducted an entirely new main theme for Voyager. As done with The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine, a soundtrack album of the series' pilot episode 'Caretaker' and a CD single containing three variations of the main theme were released by Crescendo Records in 1995 between seasons one and two.[31][32]

In 2017, La-La Land Records issued Star Trek: Voyager Collection, Volume 1, a four-disc limited-edition release containing Goldsmith's theme music and tracks from Jay Chattaway's 'Rise', 'Night', the two-parter 'Equinox', 'Pathfinder', 'Spirit Folk', 'The Haunting of Deck Twelve', 'Shattered', 'The Void', and the two-parter 'Scorpion'; Dennis McCarthy's 'The 37's', the two-parter 'Basics', 'The Q and the Gray', 'Concerning Flight', 'Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy', and the two-parters 'Workforce' and 'Year of Hell', David Bell's 'Dark Frontier', and Paul Baillargeon's 'Lifesigns'.[33]

Awards and nominations[edit]

Voyager won 20 different awards and was nominated for 70.

Novels and revival attempts[edit]

A total of 26 numbered books were released during the series' original run from 1995 to 2001.[34] They include novelizations of the first episode, 'Caretaker', 'The Escape', 'Violations', 'Ragnarok', and novelizations of the episodes 'Flashback', 'Day of Honor', 'Equinox' and 'Endgame'. Also, 'unnumbered books', which are still part of the series, were released, though not part of the official release. These novels consist of episode novelizations except for Caretaker, Mosaic (a biography of Kathryn Janeway), Pathways (a novel in which the biography of various crew members, including all of the senior staff, is given); and The Nanotech War, a novel released in 2002, one year after the series' finale.

Book relaunch[edit]

A series of novels focusing on the continuing adventures of Voyager following the television series finale was implemented in 2003, much as Pocket Books did with the Deep Space Nine relaunch novel series, which features stories placed after the finale of that show. In the relaunch, several characters are reassigned while others are promoted but stay aboard Voyager. These changes include Janeway's promotion to admiral, Chakotay becoming captain of Voyager and breaking up with Seven of Nine, Tuvok leaving the ship to serve as tactical officer under William Riker, and Tom Paris's promotion to first officer on the Voyager. The series also introduces several new characters.

The series began with Homecoming and The Farther Shore in 2003, a direct sequel to the series' finale, 'Endgame'. These were followed in 2004 by Spirit Walk: Old Wounds and Spirit Walk: Enemy of My Enemy. Under the direction of a new author, 2009 brought forth two more additions to the series: Full Circle and Unworthy. In 2011, another book by the same author called Children of the Storm was released. Other novels—some set during the relaunch period, others during the show's broadcast run—have been published.

Video games[edit]

Two video games based on the Voyager were released: Star Trek: Voyager – Elite Force for PC (2000) and PS2 (2001) and the arcade game Star Trek: Voyager – The Arcade Game (2002). The PS2 game Star Trek: Encounters (2006) also features the ship and characters from the show. Voyager was a graphic adventure video game developed by Looking Glass Technologies but it was cancelled in 1997.

Cultural influence[edit]

Roxann Dawson, Kate Mulgrew and Jennifer Lien (1995).

Voyager is notable for being the most gender-balanced Star Trek series with the first female lead character and strong female supporting characters,[35] with a review of the different series giving Voyager the highest Bechdel test rating.[35]

In an article about Voyager, Ian Grey wrote: 'It was a rare heavy-hardware science fiction fantasy not built around a strong man, and more audaciously, it didn't seem to trouble itself over how fans would receive this. On Voyager, female authority was assumed and unquestioned; women conveyed sexual power without shame and anger without guilt. Even more so than Buffy, which debuted two years later, it was the most feminist show in American TV history.'[36]

About her years on Voyager, Kate Mulgrew said: 'The best thing was simply the privilege and the challenge of being able to take a shot at the first female captain, transcending stereotypes that I was very familiar with. I was able to do that in front of millions of viewers. That was a remarkable experience—and it continues to resonate.'[37]

Reception[edit]

In 2016, in a listing that included each Star Trek film and TV series separately, Voyager was ranked 6th by the L.A. Times.[38]

In 2017, Vulture ranked Star Trek:Voyager the 4th best live-action Star Trek television show, prior to Star Trek: Discovery.[39]

In 2019, Nerdist ranked this show the 5th best Star Trek series, in between Enterprise and Star Trek: Discovery.[40] Also in 2019, MovieFone ranked it the fifth best live-action Star Trek series.[41]

In 2019, CBR ranked Season 5 the 4th best season of a Star Trek show, and Season 4, the 8th best.[42]

In 2019, Popular Mechanics ranked Star Trek:Voyager the 36th best science fiction television show ever.[43]
