Star Trek: Voyager may have ended in 2001, but the influence of the series lives on \u2013 and now, in new animated series Star Trek: Prodigy<\/a>, fans even get to see the story continue.<\/p>\n

Most prominently, the series stars an Emergency Command Hologram of Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew), the erstwhile Captain of the USS Voyager, as a main character, acting as a mentor and helper to the main cast of runaway aliens who discover a lost Federation ship.<\/p>\n

But as Mulgrew herself notes, there\u2019s more to the Voyager connections than her involvement in the series.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, of course [it connects],\u201d Mulgrew told RadioTimes.com<\/a>. \u201cI think as it unfolds, there will be more and more of that.<\/p>

\u201cYou\u2019re hitting on a point that\u2019s terribly important, and it\u2019s that the fans love it by association. They remember very clearly the important and significant moments in Voyager lore, in Next Gen lore, in The Original Series lore. And when that is sparked by a moment or some sort of correlation, it\u2019s delightful.\u201d<\/p>\n

In other words, Voyager fans watching Prodigy might note little callbacks that give greater significance to the events on screen, even if they\u2019re not crucially important to the plot.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re a little newcomer, you\u2019re not only going to enjoy it but your mother\u2019s going to be whispering, \u2018Janeway did that in the third season\u2026\u2019,\u201d Mulgrew said.<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you understand? It\u2019s going to be an education, and at the same time, it\u2019s a relationship unfolding.\u201d<\/p>\n
