In the 24th
Century, a renegade band of freedom fighters known as the Maquis
are operating outside Federation law. When one of its ships disappears
in "The Badlands" with undercover Starfleet Security
Officer Tuvok aboard, the Vulcan's new starship, the U.S.S. Voyager
and his Captain, Kathryn Janeway, are dispatched to retrieve him.
Captain Janeway recruits a Starfleet washout and Maquis prisoner,
Tom Paris, to help on the mission.
Before Voyager departs Deep Space 9, Paris
rescues a fresh Academy graduate, the starship's Ops Officer Harry
Kim, from some of Quark's salesmanship. The two of them become
friends, even with warnings to Kim that Paris caused the death
of fellow crewmembers and then lied to cover it up. Shortly after
Janeway leaves last-minute instructions about her pregnant dog
with her fiance Mark, her ship encounters a bizarre phenomenon
in "The Badlands" that sweeps it some 70,000 light years
away to the Delta Quadrant.
The catapult effect is costly: First
Officer Cavit, Conn Officer Stadi and several others are killed,
including the Chief Engineer and Chief Medical Officer. When the
Chief Medical Officer dies an Emergency Medical Hologram Doctor
materializes to care for the wounded. The Voyager's survivors
then realize the Maquis ship is also there. The alien behind their
appearance in the Delta Quadrant was know as "The Caretaker"
