Three accomplished Star Trek captains and one admiral came from Star Trek: Voyager, but Star Trek: The Next Generation has an even more impressive record. Throughout Voyager's seven seasons, Captain Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) led the USS Voyager on its unprecedented journey home from the unexplored Delta Quadrant. She not only kept most of the crew safe throughout this journey, but also made numerous first contacts with alien species and faced off against the Borg Queen (Susanna Thompson, Alice Krige) herself. Janeway went on to become one of Star Trek's most impressive admirals and three of her best officers became accomplished captains.
Modern Star Trek has yet to reveal the status of the USS Voyager's remaining crew members, but three captains and an admiral is quite impressive. Still, Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and Star Trek: The Next Generation's crew have Voyager's cast beat. With its premiere in 1987, Star Trek: The Next Generation launched a golden era of Star Trek and produced some of the franchise's most beloved characters. Star Trek: Picard checked in on Jean-Luc decades later, culminating in a triumphant third season that reunited the former Enterprise captain with his TNG crew.
Star Trek: Voyager Created 3 Captains & An Admiral
Admiral Janeway & Captains Chakotay, Tuvok, & Seven Of Nine All Came Out Of Star Trek: Voyager
Chakotay had been given command of the experimental USS Protostar and sent on a mission to explore the Delta Quadrant, but after the events of Star Trek: Prodigy, he took over command of the USS Voyager-A.
Why Star Trek: TNG’s Promotions Captain & Admiral Promotions Still Beat Voyager
Star Trek: TNG Produced Two Admirals, One Commodore, & Two Captains
While the crew of the USS Voyager undoubtedly has an impressive record, the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation still has them beat. Jean-Luc Picard became an admiral not long after the events of Star Trek: Nemesis, and he led the efforts to relocate the Romulans when their sun was going supernova. Picard's First Officer, William Riker (Jonathan Frakes), became an excellent Starfleet captain, taking over command of the USS Titan. Worf (Michael Dorn), too, became a Starfleet captain but was working with Starfleet Intelligence in Star Trek: Picard season 3.
After serving as the Chief Medical Officer on the Enterprise, Dr. Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden) took a break from Starfleet to offer medical care to those in need. She returned in Picard season 3, eventually earning a promotion to Admiral and a position as the Head of Starfleet Medical. Last but not least, Geordi La Forge (LeVar Burton) was promoted to the rank of Commodore and became the Head Curator at the Starfleet Museum. All in all, Jean-Luc Picard and his Enterprise-D crew became some of the most highly regarded officers in Starfleet, but the cast of Star Trek: Voyager was not far behind.
