HOMEWARD BOUND
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. Seven years and 172 episodes later, they finally returned to Earth. SFX opened hailing frequencies and caught up with some of the show’s key players to celebrate the show’s 25th anniversary
