| | Captain Kathryn Janeway |
 | | Born in Indiana, on Earth, Janeway had a very down-to-earth (pun intended)childhood, going on camping trips, which she didn't like, with her father, Admiral Edward Janeway (who died in a drowning accident on Tau Ceti), her mother, Gretchen Janeway, and her sister Phoebe. |
 | | Some of Janeway's earlier influences in her life included her shrouded family history, including a predecessor who supposedly was one of the first Mars colonists, and the great female aviator Amelia Earheart, who she found and met in the Delta Quadrant, along with hundreds of other humans from 1937 ("The 37's"). |
 | | In 2371, Janeway, commanding the first mission of the newly commissioned U.S.S. Voyager, NCC-74656, was swept into the Delta Quadrant by an entity known as the Caretaker. |
