## Synopsis

Star Trek: Voyager (1995-2001) is a US science fiction series created by Jeri Taylor, Rick Berman, Gene Roddenberry and Michael Piller, broadcast on UPN. Captain Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) commands a Starfleet ship flung into the Delta Quadrant, where the Federation is seventy-five years away at maximum warp. She must weld her crew together with Maquis rebels led by former enemy Chakotay (Robert Beltran), including engineer B'Elanna Torres (Roxann Dawson) and pilot Tom Paris (Robert Duncan McNeill). Their engine is the desperate, ongoing push for home, while every episode brings a new alien world, a shifting alliance, or a technical crisis to survive. The seven-season run is a serialized space adventure with episodic stand-alone stories, set in the far reaches of the galaxy. Its tone is hopeful and earnest, with wonder, camaraderie and a sense of exploration balancing the loneliness of the journey. Fans of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Battlestar Galactica and Farscape will find resonance in its blend of optimistic exploration and tense survival.
