Summary [ ].

With Brannon Braga taking up the showrunner's role after Jeri Taylor 's retirement, season five saw the franchise settle into what was to become a familiar pattern of story-telling following the changes made during the latter half of season three , and the tumultuous events of season four . A desire to return to Earth remained the Voyager crew's singular mission, but the themes of "family" and of Voyager as "home" introduced in seasons three and four meant that the series paradigm gently shifted in season five, evidenced best by Janeway 's remark at the end of Voyager 's 100th episode, " Timeless ";

" It no longer seems a case of if we get home, but when! "

Nevertheless, season five could also be characterized as having a darker, more brooding atmosphere than had gone before, with several of the principal characters facing extremely dark moments in their development. None more so than in the season premiere " Night " which sees Voyager attempting to traverse a dark region of space, devoid of all matter and energy. It is during this episode that Janeway is forced to confront her unceasing guilt over the initial decision she made to destroy the Caretaker 's array at the beginning of the series, and strand Voyager in the Delta Quadrant .

" I made an error in judgment, Chakotay. It was short-sighted and it was selfish, and now all of us are paying for my mistake! "

Other similar crises of confidence are played out throughout the season. B'Elanna Torres , racked with grief over the death of her friends in the Maquis , begins to self-harm in " Extreme Risk ", Seven of Nine becomes overwhelmed by the voices of the Collective in " Infinite Regress ", Tom Paris faces demotion and incarceration in " Thirty Days ", The Doctor 's decision-making skills are tested as he revisits the greatest threat to his program in " Latent Image ", and Harry Kim 's spotless record receives a dent for the first time when he continues a sexual relationship against orders in " The Disease " (according to Garrett Wang in an interview for the Season 5 DVD set, the episode was titled "Alien Love Story"). Arguably Captain Janeway experiences the most of the dark traits in Season 5, most notably in her getting angry with Tom Paris, Harry Kim and The Doctor in the episodes "Thirty Days," "The Disease," and "Latent Image," respectively.

This sombre bleakness arguably reaches a crescendo with two episodes midway through the season. In " Bliss ", a bio-plasmic lifeform uses neurogenic fields to induce illusions amongs the crew, convincing them to enter what they believe is a wormhole leading directly to the Alpha Quadrant . Once inside the creature, the audience is treated to shots (for the first time since the series began) showing Voyager 's return to Earth . The fact that the images are merely telepathic delusions makes "Bliss" one of the darkest episodes of the season. And in " Course: Oblivion ", in a throw-back to season four's " Demon ", the crew realize they are nothing but bio-mimetic copies of the original crew and slowly, one by one, succumb to radiation poisoning from Voyager 's enhanced warp drive. The episode closes with the entire ship and crew reduced to a cloud of dichromate particulates, with no record of their existence surviving. "Course: Oblivion" marks a departure from the usual style of Star Trek (and American) story-telling in general with no "happy ending", no moral at the end, and nothing to redeem the crew's struggle as being ultimately "worth it".

Other developments of note in season five include the use of a new multi-spatial probe, which makes its first appearance in " Extreme Risk ", and the construction of a new and improved shuttle. Christened the Delta Flyer , the new ship would take center stage during away missions for the remainder of the series. A tentative resolution to the conflict with Species 8472 is negotiated during " In the Flesh ", and Kate Mulgrew 's favorite episode " Counterpoint " makes an appearance towards the middle of the season. Leading antagonists include the Borg who appear in multiple episodes throughout the season, most notably in Voyager 's first movie length episode " Dark Frontier ". Marketing at the time trumpeted this episode as featuring the return of the Borg Queen , first introduced in the Star Trek movie, Star Trek: First Contact .

The Malon are introduced as polluting industrialists and another species for Voyager to contend with, during the season premiere, " Night ". Although the Malon make only two more appearances in season five, namely " Extreme Risk " and " Juggernaut ", and a passing reference in " Think Tank " and season seven 's " The Void ", they could perhaps be considered alongside the Kazon , the Borg, the Hirogen , the Vidiians and the Hierarchy as being stalwart species of the series as a whole, and contributing greatly to Voyager 's overall journey.

The season finale (the first cliffhanger season finale since season three's "Scorpion," in 1997) sees Voyager make contact with their first Federation starship, the USS Equinox , under the command of Captain Ransom (John Savage). Initial celebrations at finding kindred spirits quickly turn sour however when it is revealed that Ransom and his crew have all but abandoned the Prime Directive by killing innocent lifeforms in an attempt to get home faster. The tension between Janeway and Chakotay (begun as far back as the season three finale, " Scorpion "), is heightened to a mutinous fever-pitch, as Janeway's vendetta against Ransom drives a wedge between her and her crew as the sixth season begins.

Aside from the action, it should perhaps be noted that it is within season five that the first hints of dissension in the ranks of the principal actors begins to make itself known. A closer look at the episodes reveals that season five remained top-heavy with stories centering on Seven of Nine and her relationship with Janeway, and if anything, encounters with the Borg increased as a result. The one other principal actor whose story-lines and character development appears to have suffered as a result is clearly Robert Beltran as Chakotay. ( citation needed • edit ) With this in mind, it is perhaps not surprising that during and after season five, Beltran began to become more vocal and illustrative of his dissatisfaction with the direction the series appeared to be taking. Beltran was however not alone, as some critics of the show had begun to liken Voyager to the "Janeway and Seven of Nine show." ( citation needed • edit ) It may be fair to say that Voyager 's high-water mark had been reached with the advent of " Scorpion " and the rapturous applause for the series during season four had perhaps begun to wear off.

Background information [ ]

The cast of Season 5

• The writing staff of Star Trek: Voyager began their work on this season by 20 May 1998 . ( Star Trek: Action! , p. 93)
• This season was broadcast concurrent with Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Season 7 , and Star Trek: Insurrection was released during its run.
• Characters which, during this season, ' crossover ' from other incarnations of Star Trek : Geordi La Forge (" Timeless "), two different versions of Boothby (" In the Flesh " & " The Fight "), and the Borg Queen (" Dark Frontier ").

The Deck 1 sets, such as the bridge, suffered smoke and sprinkler damage as a result of a fire during this season on 2 October 1998 . Robert Picardo once jokingly claimed he had started the fire with a lit cigar. [1] (X) The blaze was actually started by one of the studio arc lamps' bulbs exploding. ( Delta Quadrant , p. 281) " One of the light bulbs popped, " offered Tom Paris and Captain Proton actor Robert Duncan McNeill . " I guess the spark smoldered down in the dust, and caught fire on the ceiling of the bridge. " ( Cinefantastique , Vol. 31, No. 11, p. 52) The sparks also set fire to the starfield backdrop curtain. ( Delta Quadrant , p. 281; Beyond the Final Frontier , p. 326) The fire was only a minimal one, however, and the main damage was caused by the sprinklers that doused the flames. ( Delta Quadrant , p. 281; Beyond the Final Frontier , p. 326)

Robert Duncan McNeill remarked, " No one was hurt, but we had a hungry crew and our lunch was on that stage. " ( Cinefantastique , Vol. 31, No. 11, p. 52) The small blaze occurred during a publicity photo shoot with executive producer Rick Berman . ( Cinefantastique , Vol. 31, No. 11, p. 52; Delta Quadrant , p. 281) According to the unofficial reference book Delta Quadrant (p. 281), Berman's presence on the bridge at the time prompted some deprecating humorists to claim that "the lightning missed." Robert Duncan McNeill also commented on the link between Berman being on the bridge and parts of the same set meanwhile igniting; " I don't know what the connection is but I am sure there is some meaning. " ( Cinefantastique , Vol. 31, No. 11, p. 52)

Minor repairs were required, largely owing to the water damage that the small fire had caused. ( Star Trek: Voyager Companion  (p. 284)) According to Delta Quadrant (p. 281), these repairs were used – by the construction crew and the art department – as an excuse to make a few slight modifications, such as reupholstering the chairs.

Star Trek: Voyager - Episode Guide - Season 5

What’s that? You want even *more* Borg? Welcome to season 5 of Star Trek: Voyager! At least four episodes are devoted entirely to the cybernetic badasses – “Drone”, “Infinite Regress” and the two-part “Dark Frontier” – and rare is the Voyager season 5 episode in which Borg or Borg technology is a key plot device or character motivation.

Not that Star Trek Guide is complaining: This show had been wanting serious badassery to test Janeway et al for much of four seasons, and the Borg certainly bring that.

(Quite frankly, STG believes that the Borg are the single greatest alien race created for any of the ST series. Vulcans? Give me a break! Klingons? Baktag, wej naDev! Tribbles? You may have competition there…)

This season is also notable for its high number of character-focused episodes. In fact, of all the main characters, only Neelix is (justifiably) denied at least one solo shot in this season.

1. Night – Let’s get things started in Beckettesque fashion! Voyager attempts to cross “The Expanse” a region of empty space spanning thousands of cubic light years in all directions. Pretty excellent Beckettesque nightmare fuel here is ruined by Janeway’s completely out-of-character pouty behavior for the first two-thirds of the episode. ***

2. Drone – Though “Drone” begins with the well-worn trope of transporter malfunction, the episode’s remainder tells an interesting story of a Borg accidentally created with 29th-century technology. ****

3. Extreme Risk – While much of the Enterprise crew gets to work building a bigger, faster shuttlecraft, B’Elanna suddenly starts suffering from survivor guilt from news she received 11 episodes ago as thus takes up lots of extreme Klingon sports in the holodeck. **

4. In the Flesh – In the middle of nowhere in the Delta Quadrant, the Voyager crew stumbles upon an intensely detailed mockup of Federation headquarters in San Francisco. The actual revelation of who’s behind the recreation and why is questionable, though interesting enough. ***

5. Once Upon a Time – What’s the difference between Neelix and the officer’s daughter for whom he’s caring? One is an annoying little alien trying desperately to be cute, and the other’s a little girl. *

6. Timeless – All right, temporal paradox! Some 15 years in the future, Kim, Chakotay and Chakotay’s girlfriend who happily accepts the possibility of nullifying her own existence seek to change the past and thereby prevent Voyager’s destruction. Kim gets to act intense for a while before insufferably freaking out; good thing The Doctor’s on hand to balance the melodrama. And *Captain* Geordi LaForge? Nice. ****

7. Infinite Regress – What might have descended into a silly tale of Seven developing multiple personalities is actually quite watchable thanks to a brisk pace and Jeri Ryan’s outstanding devotion to the part. ***

8. Nothing Human – When B’Elanna Torres becomes attached (literally) to a very large symbiote, the Doctor creates a hologram of a Cardassian doctor who’s the galaxy’s foremost expert on exobiology. The Doctor soon suffers a crisis of conscience, however, when he learns that his new comrade is actually quite the war criminal… ***

9. Thirty Days – At an aquatic planet, Tom Paris suddenly declares that he loved reading Moby Dick and Jules Verne as a child. (Yeah, sure.) His involvement in helping save the world’s environment goes over the top and gets him busted. ***

10. Counterpoint – Voyager passes through a bit of space ruled by the Devore, a species especially paranoid about telepaths. Several times are a handful of crew members and picked-up refugees stowed away – and then one of the chief Devore law enforcement officers turns traitor. Some awesome cat-and-mous stuff with Janeway coming out the clever badass. ****

11. Latent Image – The Doctor discovers that he has operated on Harry Kim but has forgotten about doing so entirely; he’s also experiencing hallucinations starring an “Ensign Jetal” (cough cough Red Shirt ahem cough hack), a crew member he’s never heard of before… ***

12. Bride of Chaotica! – A fan favorite and a classic holodeck-based episode. Whilst Paris and Kim are playing another round of “The Adventures of Captain Proton,” Voyager appears to be attacked from within the holodeck. Soon, Janeway and The Doctor are enlisted to play parts in the black-and-white holo-serial – don’t ask; just enjoy the hilarity. ****

13. Gravity – Paris and Tuvok crash-land a shuttle (didn’t take long for one of these to hit DS9 season five) on a planet whose time moves at a different rate than the surrounding universe. They take refuge for weeks (relatively) against hostile aliens of all sorts with an alien named Noss. **

14. Bliss – Voyager suddenly begins receiving an incredibly unlikely stream of good news – but what’s that got to do with the lone captain figure with the distinctly Ahab vibe seen in the cold open? ***

15. Dark Frontier, part I  – Janeway & Co. get gutsy as they make plans to steal Borg technology right off a cube. The plan works, except that Seven decides to rejoin the collective. ****

16. Dark Frontier, part II – The Borg Queen, last seen in Star Trek: First Contract remanifests in order to oversee Seven’s reentry into the Borg fold, though why the Borg ever figured Seven would play ball without getting properly re-assimilated remains a mystery. ***

17. Disease – Kim finally gets some, only to get a gnarly STD and/or fall in love, diseases which turn him into a regularly glowing whiner. (What? He was always a whiner? Oh.) Star Trek Guide is quite intrigued with those “differences” Kim and his Varro girlfriend mentioned, though… ***

18. Course: Oblivion – Star Trek: Voyager is often at its best when deep-diving into a bleak, Beckettesque plot. On the off-chance you haven’t seen this episode before, the mind-blowing twist about 20 minutes in involving B’Elanna’s apparent death is perhaps the finest in all of Star Trek history. The subsequent degeneration of things is equal parts engaging and existentially depressing. ****

19. The Fight – Comination head trip/holodeck trip for Chakotay, who must use dream-symbolism and memory patterns to communicate with aliens. A decent story whose unfortunate padding means the crew figures out the mysteries long before the audience. ***

20. Think Tank – An utterly unrecognizable Jason Alexander guest stars as a representative of the Think Tank, a small group traveling about the galaxy solving planet-sized problems. And when a large fleet of Hazari sets to hunting down Voyager, it appears the Think Tank can help – until they propose an untenable deal, almost an indecent proposal, if you will. ****

21. Juggernaut – The Voyager crew has another run-in with the Malons, those waste dumpers of the galaxy, when they encounter an ailing freighter packed with radioactive, volatile stuff. ***

22. Someone to Watch Over Me – As for episodes featuring Seven and The Doctor, Star Trek Guide prefers those with more wit and intrigue, as opposed to fluffy stuff like this, with Seven learning about dating. *

23. 11:59 – Janeway learns about one of her ancestors which completely changes the captain’s opinion. An attempt at breaking form, this one falls well short of Deep Space Nine episodes like “The Visitor” and “Far Beyond the Stars.” **

24. Relativity – All right, Captain Braxton of 29th-century Starfleet is back! The time-travel authority hurriedly recruits Seven (several times, as it turns out) to find terrorist or terrorists who will destroy Voyager. Interesting stuff, but one question: How did Braxton remember his 30 years trapped in the 20th century when Voyager helped wipe out that timeline altogether? ****

25. Warhead – An Enterprise away team discovers – and The Doctor takes a quick liking to – a sentient robot which turns out to be a rather single-minded space-traversing weapon. ***

26. Equinox, Part I – Voyager’s path comes across that of the Equinox, another Federation ship accidentally brought into the Delta Quadrant by The Caretaker. The Equinox is a science vessel reduced to half its already small crew immediately upon entering the quadrant currently, the ship is relentlessly under attack from “nucleogenic” aliens. A disturbing realization is made about Equinox’s operations, and the aliens invade the Enterprise as well as the Equinox… ***

8 Alpha Quadrant Things Star Trek: Voyager Found In Delta Quadrant

• Star Trek: Voyager finds familiar things from the Alpha Quadrant in the Delta Quadrant, sparking important questions and connections.
• Encounter with Ferengi negotiators leads Voyager crew to stop their interference in a pre-warp civilization for profits.
• Janeway and crew discover humans abducted by aliens in the 1930s living in the Delta Quadrant, including Amelia Earhart.

For a show with the conceit of being so far from home, Star Trek: Voyager found a surprising number of things in the Delta Quadrant that originated in the Alpha Quadrant, including several from Earth itself. The USS Voyager, commanded by Captain Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew), and Commander Chakotay's (Robert Beltran) Maquis raider Val Jean were both brought to the Delta Quadrant in 2371 by the Caretaker (Basil Langton). After Janeway destroyed the Caretaker's array to save the Ocampa , Voyager and the Val Jean were left without a ticket back to the Alpha Quadrant, and banded together to make the long journey.

Finding something familiar in an otherwise totally alien corner of the galaxy brought a sense of familiarity to the USS Voyager crew and viewers at home alike, but the presence of something from the Alpha Quadrant in the Delta Quadrant inevitably raised important questions , like how familiar people and objects traveled 70,000 light years from home in the first place, and whether the find could lead Captain Kathryn Janeway towards a quicker path home to Earth.

Star Trek: Voyagers 20 Best Episodes Ranked

A pair of ferengi negotiators, arridor and kol, star trek: voyager season 3, episode 5 "false profits".

The USS Voyager encounters a pair of Ferengi negotiators, Arridor (Dan Shor) and Kol (Leslie Jordan), who claim to be the prophesied Great Sages of the Takarians, a society with Bronze Age level technology. The Ferengi have no Prime Directive to deter them from interfering with the Takarians' development , so they're performing "miracles" with a standard replicator to reap the monetary benefits of the Takarians' worship. Voyager's crew know the Ferengi reputation well enough to know they're no Sages, so they must figure out how to put a stop to Arridor and Kol's grift.

"False Profits" serves as a Star Trek sequel episode to Star Trek: The Next Generation season 3, episode 8 "The Price", as Voyager catches up with Arridor and Kol (formerly played by J. R. Quinonez) seven years after their Delta Quadrant arrival. The Ferengi took a test flight through the supposedly stable wormhole near Barzan II, which was supposed to emerge in the Gamma Quadrant, but instead stranded the Ferengi in the Delta Quadrant, where they made the best of their situation as only Ferengi can.

Star Trek: Voyager Season 3, Episode 23 "Distant Origin"

"Distant Origin" opens on Forra Gegen (Henry Woronicz), a scientist who discovers that his people, the Voth, share certain genetic similarities with the humans aboard the USS Voyager. While this confirms Gegen's theory that the Voth are the descendants of a species brought to their homeworld millions of years ago , religious leader Minister Odala (Concetta Tomei) refuses to accept the truth. Even with Commander Chakotay present as a living specimen of humanity, Odala pushes Gegen to recant, because Gegen's theory goes against the Voth Doctrine that keeps Odala in power.

After meeting Gegen's assistant, Tova Veer (Christopher Liam Moore), Janeway and the Doctor use the holodeck as a research guide to extrapolate how hadrosaurs might look in the 24th century if they'd been able to evolve into a humanoid form with comparable intelligence. The result resembles Veer, so Janeway and the Doctor conclude, like Gegen, that the Voth evolved from hadrosaurs into a highly advanced species on Earth , then fled to the Delta Quadrant in spacefaring vessels instead of being wiped out with the other dinosaurs.

The Friendship One Probe

Star trek: voyager season 7, episode 21 "friendship one".

By Star Trek: Voyager season 7 , the USS Voyager is in regular contact with Starfleet Command, and Starfleet gives Voyager a mission to retrieve a 21st-century Earth probe, Friendship One . The probe proves difficult to find, but once discovered on an alien planet suffering devastating climate collapse, the implications of Friendship One's launch become clear. Besides the irreversible damage to the planet's climate, the inhabitants are all suffering from radiation sickness, and bear understandable hostility towards Earth, because the aliens believe humans orchestrated their destruction with the Friendship One probe.

The United Earth Space Probe Agency was one of the early names for the organization the USS Enterprise belongs to in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode, "Charlie X".

Friendship One was launched in 2067 by the United Earth Space Probe Agency with the intention of making friends with whomever found it, as the name implies. Although Friendship One, the 400-year-old Earth probe, traveled for centuries carrying messages of peace, musical recordings, and ways to translate languages, the people who discovered Friendship One in the Delta Quadrant took a greater interest in the antimatter it used to travel across space. Without the proper knowledge of its use, antimatter proved devastating to the planet and its people, resulting in death and disease for generations.

Dreadnought, a Cardassian Missile

Star trek: voyager season 2, episode 17 "dreadnought".

The USS Voyager discovers a dangerously powerful, self-guided Cardassian missile in the Delta Quadrant, which Lt. B'Elanna Torres (Roxann Dawson) recognizes as one nicknamed "Dreadnought" . When B'Elanna was with the Maquis, Torres had actually reprogrammed the missile herself, with the intention of turning the Cardassians' own weapon against them. Without a Cardassian target in sight, the artificially intelligent Cardassian Dreadnought targets a heavily-populated Class-M planet , Rakosa V. B'Elanna determines she must be the one to keep Dreadnought from hurting anyone else, and boards the missile to convince it to stand down.

While no concrete reason is given for exactly how the Dreadnought wound up in the Delta Quadrant, its last known location in the Alpha Quadrant was the Badlands, the same rough patch of space where Voyager and the Val Jean, Chakotay's Maquis raider, fatefully met. Because of this, Torres theorizes that Dreadnought arrived in the Delta Quadrant the same way that Voyager and the Val Jean did , courtesy of the Caretaker.

Star Trek: Voyagers BElanna Is More Klingon Than TNGs Worf Ever Was

A klingon d-7 class cruiser, complete with klingons, star trek: voyager, season 7, episode 14 "prophecy".

The USS Voyager certainly never expected to find a Klingon ship in the Delta Quadrant, but more surprising is the fact that the crew of the Klingon D-7 Class Cruiser believes their savior, the prophesied kuvah'magh, is aboard Voyager . Janeway assures the Klingon captain, Kohlar (Wren T. Brown), that the Federation and Klingon Empire have been allies for the past 80 years, and offers Voyager's own half-Klingon, Lt. B'Elanna Torres, as proof their societies are working together now. The kuvah'magh is Torres' unborn daughter, who does save the Klingons, but not the way they expected.

Centuries ago, Kohlar's great-grandfather set off on a quest to find the kuvah'magh, and the Klingon D-7 Cruiser became a generation ship that is now crewed by the descendants of its original crew . The quest begun by Kohlar's great-grandfather brought Kohlar and his crew to the Delta Quadrant after four generations of searching. Whether B'Elanna's child is actually the kuvah'magh or not, Kohlar desperately wants the baby to be their savior, so that his people may finally rest.

Amelia Earhart

Star trek: voyager season 2, episode 1 "the 37s".

The discovery of a 1936 Ford truck, seemingly disconnected from any parent vehicle, leads the USS Voyager to a nearby Class-L planet, where they find eight humans who have been in cryo-stasis since they were abducted by aliens in the 1930s. Among them are one of Janeway's personal heroes, legendary American aviator Amelia Earhart (Sharon Lawrence) , who disappeared without a trace while attempting to fly around the world, and Earhart's navigator, Fred Noonan (David Graf). Earhart and the other preserved humans are known by the planet's inhabitants as "The 37s", and revered as sacred.

Originally thought to be aliens, the natives of the unnamed planet are the descendants of humans. A species called the Briori abducted the natives' ancestors, along with Earhart and the other 37s, from Earth centuries earlier , and took them to the Delta Quadrant. Once held as slaves, the humans who weren't in stasis revolted to free themselves from the Briori, and developed a thriving, Earth-like civilization in the Delta Quadrant. Voyager's crew consider staying with the humans in their little slice of home, while Janeway also offers a ride back to Earth to anyone who wants it, including Amelia Earhart.

The USS Equinox

Star trek: voyager season 5, episode 26 & season 6, episode 1 "equinox".

The crew of the USS Voyager believe they're the only Starfleet vessel in the Delta Quadrant until they find the USS Equinox, five years into their journey home. Captain Rudolph Ransom (John Savage) and the Equinox crew have had a harder time in the Delta Quadrant than Voyager, with more damage, fewer starting resources, and fewer opportunities to make friends along the way. Ransom's survival tactics include sacrificing innocent nucleogenic life forms for a more efficient form of fuel, which Janeway finds hard to stomach, and decides that Ransom needs to be held accountable for defying Federation ideals, regardless of how badly the Equinox is damaged.

Although Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) suggests that the Equinox might be in the Delta Quadrant on a rescue mission to find Voyager, the USS Equinox's specs don't fit the profile of a starship that would be assigned to a long-range mission. The explanation of how the Equinox arrived in the Delta Quadrant in the first place seems fairly simple, because Captain Ransom tells Janeway that the Equinox was also abducted by the Caretaker , just like Voyager, but the Equinox has only been in the Delta Quadrant for 2 years, and Janeway destroyed the Caretaker's array 5 years earlier.

Seven of Nine

Debuts in star trek: voyager season 4, episode 1 "scorpion, part 2".

When Captain Kathryn Janeway allies with the Borg in order to secure safe passage across Borg space, Janeway refuses the cursory assimilation that the Borg want to use to communicate with Janeway and Voyager's crew, and instead requests a speaker for the Borg, citing the existence of Locutus (Patrick Stewart) as precedent. Seven of Nine , Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix 01, is selected as the Borg drone to act as liaison between the Collective and Voyager, likely because Seven of Nine had once been a member of Species 5168, like most of Voyager's crew -- in other words, human.

Voyager season 5, episodes 15 & 16, "Dark Frontier" provides even more detail of the Hansens' fateful journey.

After Seven's link with the Collective is severed, more information about Seven's human origin comes to light. In Voyager season 4, episode 6 "The Raven", when Voyager nears the Hansens' ship, the USS Raven, memories of Seven's early life surface, revealing that Seven had been six-year-old human Annika Hansen , the daughter of Magnus Hansen (Kirk Baily) and Erin Hansen (Laura Stepp), Federation scientists who were studying the Borg when they were assimilated. Voyager season 5, episodes 15 & 16, "Dark Frontier" provides even more detail of the Hansens' fateful journey, showing the Raven arriving in the Delta Quadrant by following a Borg Cube through a transwarp conduit.

10 Ways USS Voyager Changed In Star Treks Delta Quadrant

Star Trek: Voyager links back to the greater Star Trek universe with people and starships from the Alpha Quadrant. Connections to the familiar were especially important early on, because Voyager 's place in the Star Trek franchise was established and aided by the legitimacy these finds offered. Later, when the USS Voyager used the Hirogen communications array to communicate with Starfleet Command, links back to the Alpha Quadrant were plentiful again, not only to prove that the USS Voyager was closer to home, but to help Star Trek: Voyager maintain connections to Star Trek and carry the franchise in its final years.

Discovery Season 5 Just Brought Back a Lost Piece of Star Trek Voyager Canon

The Breen have really taken over Star Trek: Discovery at this point, which is why it might be time to revisit Deep Space Nine.

This Star Trek: Discovery article contains spoilers.

Since its inception in 2017, Star Trek: Discovery has been compared to various aspects of the Star Trek franchise. But, perhaps the show it most closely resembles, at least tonally, is Deep Space Nine , the gritty ‘90s spin-off of The Next Generation . And, with its fifth and final season, it feels like Discovery knows it’s the Deep Space Nine of modern Trek , and has leaned into that feeling more than ever.

The series has also taken on the mantle of being the new DS9 by simply making a ton of references to that series, as well as continuing huge storylines from that series. In the 7th episode of season 5, “Erigah,” Discovery makes a ton of references to the breadth of the Trek canon, with a specific focus on DS9 . Here’s all the best easter eggs and shout-outs you might have missed.

The Return of Nhan 

At the top of the episode, we get the first appearance of Rachael Ancheril as Nhan since season 4 episode “Rubicon.” Nhan’s journey is unique within Star Trek , and Discovery specifically. Originally a part of the crew of the USS Enterprise under Pike, Nhan joined the Discovery in season 2 during the search for the Red Angel. She stayed with the crew when they jumped to the future in season 3, making her seemingly the only Enterprise crew member from the 23rd century who now lives in the 32nd century . Nhan is from Barzan II, a planet established in the TNG episode “The Price.”

Dominion War Medical Research 

Culber says he’s doing a deep-dive into Dominion War medical research, in order to learn more about the Breen, noting, “We don’t know much about Breen physiology.” This is accurate since, although the Breen appeared for the first time in DS9 , they never took their helmets off in that series. Culber’s deep dive into Dominion War research is also interesting in light of Star Trek: Picard season 3. It was in that season that we learned Starfleet was secretly experimenting on Changelings. Did Culber stumble on any of that research?

“Never Turn Your Back on a Breen”

Reynar reminds President T’Rina of the Romulan saying, “Never turn your back on a Breen.” This comes from the DS9 episode “By Inferno’s Light,” and was uttered by an unnamed Romulan prisoner. Although T’Rina is seemingly Vulcan, the Vulcans and Romulans are essentially the same people in the time of Discovery . As revealed in season 3’s “Unification III,” all Vulcans and Romulans live together on the planet Ni’var, previously known as the planet Vulcan.

Breen Attack on the Federation 

In this episode, we’re reminded that “the last time the Breen paid a visit to the Federation, they destroyed an entire city.” This references the Deep Space Nine episode, “The Changing Face of Evil,” in which the Breen attack Starfleet Headquarters on Earth, directly, and nearly destroy all of San Francisco. Most of the city was rebuilt by the time of the Picard flashbacks in season 1 of that series, and certainly, is fully rebuilt by seasons 2 and 3 of Picard . But, it seems like the Federation has not had a direct battle with the Breen in Federation space since the DS9 era.

Tilly Is Worried About Her Cadets

In another reference to DS9 and “The Changing Face of Evil,” Tilly expresses concern about her cadets safety if the Breen attack Federation HQ. In the DS9 era, Starfleet Academy was still located in San Francisco, though now it’s at Fed HQ. That said, the upcoming show, Starfleet Academy , set in the Discovery timeline, will move the Academy back to Earth, and San Francisco.

We learn in this episode that the next piece of the Progenitor puzzle is a book called Labyrinths of the Mind , a Betazoid manuscript written by Dr. Marina Derex. “Marina” is almost certainly a reference to Marina Sirtis, the beloved actress who has played the half-Betazoid character Deanna Troi in all of The Next Generation and Picard , a few cameos on Voyager , and the Enterprise finale.

The book was also written in 2371, which is the same year that the USS Voyager left space station Deep Space 9 for the Badlands. It’s also the same year that Thomas Riker stole the USS Defiant from the same station. It’s also the year that the USS Enterprise-D crash-landed its saucer section on Veridian III in Star Trek Generations , which also means it’s the same year that a time-displaced Captain James T. Kirk was killed. Big year!

Seven of Limes 

Reno mentions a cocktail called “Seven of Limes.” This can only be a reference to Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan), the former Borg drone turned Fenris Ranger and Starfleet Captain. Because Discovery is set several centuries beyond Picard Season 3, we can only assume that Reno and the crew now have knowledge of events well beyond the early 2400s.

“A Holodeck Adventure for the Littles”

Reno jokes that the entire premise of the current clue—connected to a library card—makes everything sound like “something out of a holodeck adventure for the littles.” The most prominent holodeck adventure for children that we’re aware of in Trek canon is The Adventures of Flotter , which first appeared in the Voyager episode “Once Upon a Time.” In Picard season 1, Soji had a Flotter lunchbox.

The Badlands 

By the end of the episode, the Eternal Gallery’s location—and thus the location of the book  Labyrinths of the Mind —is revealed to be in the Badlands. This is an unstable area of space that was first mentioned in…you guessed it… Deep Space Nine ! Although the Badlands is most famous as the area where the USS Voyager went missing in its 1995 debut episode, “Caretaker,” the concept of the Badlands was introduced about a year earlier in 1994, during DS9’s second season, specifically in the episode “The Maquis Part 1.”

The Badlands is located near what used to be Cardassian space, so in its next episode, Discovery will literally be traveling directly to the neighborhood of Deep Space Nine . We have no idea if the wormhole is still there in this time period, or if that old station is still kicking. But, as Discovery continues to drop surprises in its final season, we can all keep our fingers crossed for a glimpse of a very special space station.
