Although Lieutenant Tuvok believed he could activate the system that could send Voyager back, that would have meant potentially leaving the technology in the hands of a hostile native species, the Kazon-Ogla, whose malevolent use of the system would have threatened the existence of the Ocampa. The Caretaker's condition continued to deteriorate, however, rendering him unable to send the two ships back to the Alpha Quadrant. Both were eventually rescued and treated by Voyager's EMH. Realizing the perilous state of their situation, Janeway and Chakotay decided to put aside their differences in order to locate their missing crew and then find a way to return home.Įn route to Ocampa, the two ships encountered a Talaxian freighter manned by Neelix who, in exchange for water, agreed to help retrieve the missing crew. Two of the crew members – B'Elanna Torres and Harry Kim – became ill after the experiments, and were sent by the Caretaker to the Ocampa homeworld for care and medical treatment. Unable to find a compatible mate in any of Voyager or the Val Jean's crew, however, he returned them to their respective ships.
The Caretaker created underground hospitable areas for the Ocampa and completely provided for them. He felt an obligation to the Ocampa as many years ago his race of explorers from a distant galaxy was responsible for the destruction of their planet's atmosphere, which in turn forced the Ocampa to move below ground. The Caretaker, a sporocystian lifeform who belonged to a race called the Nacene, was dying and in search of a suitable mate so his offspring could continue to provide for a species called the Ocampa after his death. Furthermore, crewmembers of both vessels were abducted upon their arrival and subjected to painful three-day medical examinations conducted by an entity known as the " Caretaker". Several crew members were killed during Voyager's violent hurtle into the Delta Quadrant, including the first officer, Lieutenant Commander Cavit the helmsman, Lieutenant Stadi the chief engineer the transporter chief and the entire medical staff, including the chief medical officer. Reluctantly, Paris agreed to be brought on board as an "observer." After leaving space station Deep Space 9 and entering the Badlands, Voyager was swept seventy thousand light years into the Delta Quadrant where it also discovered Chakotay's missing Maquis vessel – the Val Jean – which had experienced a similar fate. ( VOY: " Caretaker", " Elogium")Īt the Federation Penal Colony in New Zealand, Janeway recruited Tom Paris – former Starfleet officer, short-term member of the Maquis, and son of Admiral Owen Paris – whose knowledge of the Badlands and the Maquis were considered essential for the mission. The Maquis ship, including Tuvok, went missing in the Badlands and Voyager was ordered on a three week mission to locate and capture the missing vessel. Shortly before Voyager's launch, Captain Janeway's chief of security and second officer, Lieutenant Tuvok, had successfully infiltrated the Maquis ship Val Jean, commanded by the disgruntled former Starfleet officer Chakotay.
Voyager leaves space station Deep Space 9 In the first draft script of "Death Wish", Q mentioned that he had suspected command of Voyager might have even been granted to Worf, before realizing that he was instead serving aboard Deep Space 9. Vice Admiral Patterson greeted her on board with a tour of the ship. ( VOY: " Death Wish") Captain Kathryn Janeway assumed command of Voyager, however, doing so almost immediately before it disembarked from drydock. Riker might be assigned to command Voyager. The vessel was also the first to test the class 9 warp drive in deep space.Īccording to himself, Q suspected William T. ( VOY: " Relativity") Voyager was one of the earliest Intrepid-class starships constructed and it featured a number of technological innovations that had become available in the 2370s: bio-neural circuitry, variable geometry warp nacelles, and an Emergency Medical Holographic program were only a few of Voyager's notable technical advancements. The USS Voyager was constructed at the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards orbiting Mars and was launched from Earth Station McKinley on stardate 48038.5 in 2371.
