Homestead

Star Trek: VoyagerStardate 54868.6: A First Contact Day celebration – commemorating the anniversary of humanity’s first encounter with the Vulcans – is interrupted by an unexpected discovery. A colony of Talaxians has been detected living on a barren asteroid. Neelix is eager to visit them, as he may never get to see another of his own kind as Voyager speeds toward the Alpha Quadrant. But when the Talaxians greet the away team – including Neelix – with disdain for their weapons and “violent” way of life, the reunion doesn’t go as planned. Neelix discovers that the Talaxians have been mining the asteroid for aliens who are practically using them as slave labor – and who intend to dispose of the colony by destroying the asteroid. Neelix attempts to persuade his fellow Talaxians that this situation warrants abandoning their traditionally pacifist stance on conflict, and even helps them strike the first blow against their overseers. But this is merely the opening volley in what is likely to be an ongoing fight – and Neelix may have to leave Voyager in order to continue helping his people.

Renaissance Man

Star Trek: VoyagerStardate 54890.7: Captain Janeway and the Doctor take the Delta Flyer to a medical conference, but when Janeway returns she orders Chakotay to prepare to eject Voyager’s warp core…and giving another, more disturbing order, to find an M-class planet suitable for colonization in the Delta Quadrant. Unwilling to accept that the captain is abandoning Voyager’s homeward journey without any explanation, Chakotay confronts her after more suspicious orders are given. Just as Chakotay realizes that Janeway has been replaced by a lookalike, the first officer is attacked and rendered unconscious. More suspicious orders are given to the crew, and Chakotay is also impersonated. But could the saboteur be one of Voyager’s own?

Endgame

Star Trek: VoyagerStardate not given: Voyager’s sensors detect a possible high concentration of wormholes inside a dense nebula, and Captain Janeway decides to investigate. A near-collision with a Borg cube – obscured from sensors by the nebula’s gases – changes her mind quickly, and Voyager retreats. A temporal rift forms near the ship, and a Starfleet shuttlecraft with armaments decades ahead of Voyager’s own emerges, piloted by a woman who claims to be Janeway from sixteen years in the future. The elder Janeway outlines a daring plan to get the ship home ahead of schedule, using the weapons and armor technology of her shuttle to hold the Borg at bay. Voyager returns to the nebula, where the crew finds one of the Collective’s huge transwarp stations, a nexus point of conduits that lead to every quadrant of the galaxy. Even though there’s a high likelihood that one of those transwarp conduits could take Voyager back home, Captain Janeway orders a retreat over her older self’s protests. The captain sees this as an opportunity to deny the Borg the means to launch future attacks on the Alpha Quadrant – which could leave Voyager stranded in the Delta Quadrant for years to come.

Stardate not given: On the ten-year anniversary of the starship Voyager’s return to Earth, Admiral Kathryn Janeway looks back bitterly at the tragic costs of the 23-year journey – the death of Seven of Nine, and the effect that death had upon the former Borg’s husband, Commander Chakotay. A reunion of the surviving crew does little to lift the Admiral’s spirits; the Doctor has married, Tom and B’Elanna’s daughter is now a Starfleet officer, Harry Kim is now the captain of the U.S.S. Rhode Island, and Tuvok languishes in a mental institution, his mind wasted away by a neurological condition that could have been corrected had Voyager returned to the Alpha Quadrant sooner. Admiral Janeway decides to make a risky trip back in time to change history and speed her crew home.
