EspañolKATHRYN JANEWAY
(Redirected from Captain Janeway)
'Kathryn Janeway', played by Kate Mulgrew, is a main character of the television series ''. Janeway, the first female to be the lead character in a Star Trek series, is the captain of the Federation starship USS ''Voyager''.
The character was originally to be named "Elizabeth Janeway", after the famous poet. However, after Geneviève Bujold was cast, the character was renamed "Nicole Janeway". Bujold, who had mainly feature film experience and was not prepared for the schedules demanded by series television, dropped out on the second day of filming on the pilot episode "Caretaker". Kate Mulgrew, who had previously auditioned for the role, was brought in. She suggested that the name be changed from "Nicole" to "Kathryn."[1]
Chelsea Field had also auditioned for the role.[2]
In 2371, Captain Janeway took command of the ''Intrepid''-class USS ''Voyager''.[3] Their first mission is to locate a missing Maquis vessel last seen in the area of space known as the "Badlands".3 While there, the Maquis ship and ''Voyager'' are engulfed by a tetryon beam that hurls the ships to the Delta Quadrant, 75,000 light-years away.3 The Maquis ship is destroyed while fighting the Kazon, and although ''Voyager'' survives, there are numerous casualties.3 In order to protect the Ocampa, Janeway destroys a device, the Caretaker Array, that has the potential to return her crew to Federation space, stranding her ship and crew seven decades travel from home.3
Her first major task is integrating the surviving Maquis and ''Voyager'' crews.3 Chakotay, captain of the Maquis ship, succeeds the deceased Lieutenant Commander Cavit as her executive officer.3 Janeway also grants convicted criminal, former Starfleet officer, and accomplished pilot Tom Paris a field commission, and makes him ''Voyager''' s helmsman.3
Janeway's other interactions with her crew include helping the ex-Borg Seven of Nine reclaim her individuality and humanity, and helping the Doctor by advocating his status as a sentient being.3
''Voyager'' has protracted contact with the Q Continuum and the Borg.3 With the intervention of a future version of herself, Janeway leads her crew in using one of the Borg's transwarp conduits to return her ship to Federation space after traveling through the Delta Quadrant for seven years.3
During a cameo appearance in the film '' Captain Jean-Luc Picard receives orders for the mission to Romulus from Janeway, who has been promoted to vice admiral after ''Voyager''' s return from the Delta Quadrant.[4]
