VOYAGER debuted on 16 January 1995 with “Caretaker,” the two-hour series premiere that catapulted the crew of the USS Voyager (as well as the crew of a Maquis ship) over 70,000 light-years away from home – marooning them in the Delta Quadrant and faced with an epic journey back to our solar system.
