Some faces of Star Trek: Voyager appeared on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine despite the USS Voyager being stuck in the Delta Quadrant for seven years. Star Trek: Voyager premiered in 1995 during Star Trek: Deep Space Nine season 3, and the two series ran simultaneously until DS9 completed in 1999.
In a recent interview with ScreenRant, Nana Visitor posited that Captain Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) would come aboard Deep Space Nine. Unfortunately, Janeway never met Captain Benjamin Sisko (Avery Brooks) despite the USS Voyager being docked with DS9 in Star Trek: Voyagerfirst in the series.
Star Trek: Voyager also found creative ways to fit into the Star Trek: The Next Generation movies. Robert Picardo played a different emergency medical hologram, and Ethan Phillips made a holodeck appearance, in Star Trek: First Contact. Admiral Janeway then ordered Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) to go to Romulus in Star Trek: Nemesis.
In the same way, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine managed a pair of innovative projects Star Trek: Voyager appearances of actors and characters after the only crossover between the two series which occurred in Star Trek: Voyagerfirst in the series.
Sign Harry Kim
Star Trek: Voyager Season 1, Episode 1 – “Guardian”
Ensign Harry Kim (Garrett Wang) was the first person to Star Trek: Voyager officially cross with Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. When the USS Voyager docked at DS9 ahead of its mission to hunt Chakotay (Robert Beltran) and the Maquis, Ensign Kim spent time at Quark’s (Armin Shimerman) bar and met its Ferengi owner.
Quark’s nephew Nog (Aron Eisenberg) became the first Ferengi to join Starfleet Academy, but Harry Kim had already graduated.
Although Harry says the Starfleet Academy is warning cadets about the Ferengi, the fresh-faced young ensign almost falls for a Quark scam. Harry wouldn’t cross with Star Trek: Deep Space Nine again until Star Trek: Lower Decks season 5, episode 9, “Fissure Quest”, when many Ensigns Harry Kim and a Lieutenant Harry Kim from the Multiverse board the Defiant-class starship Anaximander.
Lieutenant Tom Paris
Star Trek: Voyager Season 1, Episode 1 – “Guardian”
Lieutenant Tom Paris (Robert Duncan McNeill) became the second Star Trek: Voyager character aboard Deep Space Nine in “Caretaker”. Paris intervened in time to save Ensign Harry Kim, revealing Quark’s plan to trick Harry. This forged a friendship between Kim and Paris that would last Star Trek: Journeyit’s gone.
Recently released from a New Zealand penal colony by Captain Janeway, Lieutenant Tom Paris was brought aboard the USS Voyager as “observer” to help locate the maquis. After becoming the helmsman of the USS Voyager, and the mischievous and unsympathetic Tom Paris of Star Trek: Voyager’His early years gradually redeemed himself, but he did not return to Deep Space Nine.
Tuvok
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Season 3, Episode 19 – “Through the Looking Glass”
Shortly after Star Trek: Voyager created, Tuvok (Tim Russ) made a surprise appearance in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. However, Tim Russ did not play the head of security on the USS Voyager, stranded in the Delta Quadrant. This version of Tuvok was in the Mirror Universe.
Mirror Tuvok was part of the Terran Rebellion against the Klingon/Cardassian Alliance. The Vulcan led his own rebel faction, different from that of Smiley O’Brien (Colm Meaney), who brought in Commander Sisko from Star Trek’s First Universe.
Tuvok is the only one Star Trek: Voyager Mirror Universe lookalike who appeared in live-action. Star Trek: Prodigy season 2, episode 14, “Cracked Mirror”, introduced the evil Mirror Universe versions of Admiral Janeway and Captain Chakotay, but in animated form.
Dr. Lewis Zimmerman
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Season 5, Episode 16 – “Dr. Bashir, I presume?”

After Star Trek: VoyagerThe Doctor has become a mentor figure in Star Trek: Prodigy, and he continues to be an instructor in the 32nd century in Star Trek: Starfleet Academy.
