Stardate: 51425.4 With Chakotay and Paris taken by the Krenim temporal ship, Janeway and crew find themselves in a tenuous position. The continuous pummelling that Voyager has received over the last few months have taken its toll on the ship. The Starfleet crew has struggled through the unending attacks in order to survive. Finally, unwilling to give her crew a passing sentence, the Captain orders her family to abandon ship. Giving them the directive to set their escape pods' flight path for the Alpha Quadrant, Janeway tells her crew to build new alliances in the hopes that someday they will be reunited again.
While chasing a renegade Maquis ship in the Badlands, the USS Voyager and the Maquis ship they are chasing are pulled into a vortex, which sends them instantly to the Delta Quadrant. However, after the destruction of the device that transported them to the Delta Quadrant, the crew of Voyager and the crew of the Maquis ship must join together to fight their way back to their home in the Alpha quadrant, which is many years away. They will meet many foes and many obstacles along the way, but they will also bond as a crew, between those of the Maquis and those of Starfleet.
