Star Trek: Voyager was the fourth live action Star Trek television series created which first aired from 1995 to 2001.
Overview[]
"Voyager" chronicled the voyages of the starship Voyager, with its combined crew of Starfleet and Maquis under the command of Captain Kathryn Janeway as she tried to make her way home 70,000 light-years from the far side of the Delta Quadrant. Voyager encountered many friends and foes making first contact with more species than any other federation starship. Voyager also had several encounters with the Borg and even gaining a former Borg Drone as a member of crew three years into the Voyage. Despite the obvious series-long story arc, Voyager was often criticized for having too many "alien of the week" stand-alone episodes and not capitalizing on the fact that Voyager was so far away from home and that the crew would have to put up with a certain lacking in resources or the built-in conflicts of a Maquis/Starfleet crew.
Voyager returned to the Alpha Quadrant in the final episode of the series, "Endgame." A series of novels (the Voyager "Relaunch") depicts the adventures of the crew after their return to the Federation.
Media[]

Malibu Comics was originally slated to produce a series of Voyager comics, but they were bought by Marvel before the series began. Marvel Comics then produced a monthly series alongside other Star Trek titles.
WildStorm Comics produced one mini-series and a series of one-shots based on Voyager. These were later collected in the omnibus Encounters with the Unknown.

Other media[]
Voyager has not had any original audiobook productions, but three novels (Caretaker, Mosaic, and Pathways) were adapted into audio form.
Only one video game (Elite Force) has been set within the Voyager series. The sequel to Elite Force had a TNG setting. The USS Voyager appears in franchise-spanning games such as Legacy and Encounters.
Four reference works have been made for Voyager (Delta Quadrant, A Vision of the Future - Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek Cookbook and Star Trek: Voyager Companion).
Decipher has released numerous RPG books, which feature VOY elements, but they are franchise-spanning works. In addition to its RPG, Decipher has also produced the Star Trek Customizable Card Game since 1994, which encompasses the entire Star Trek franchise, including numerous VOY based cards.
VOY imagery can also be found in the Ships of the Line calendars.
