Star Trek Voyager was conceived by Rick Berman, Michael Piller and Jeri Taylor, once again producers of the hit Star Trek The Next Generation series. The second spinoff series, the fourth television show in the Star Trek lore, would involve the crew of the starship Voyager being lost in the Delta Quadrant, almost seventy-thousand light years from the Federation. The epic saga will involve Captain Janeway's crew trying desperately to get home, while trying to avoid conflict with new alien races. Voyager is run on UPN, United Paramount Network, a new network for Paramount Pictures. It will be the first Star Trek series to run under network constraints, after the original ran under NBC back in '60's.
