Voyager is very different from DS9 and TNG.
Star Trek: Voyager's pilot episode was a clear response to Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: The Next Generation. As the fourth series in the overall Star Trek franchise, Voyager was created in the shadow of its predecessors, most notably Deep Space Nine and The Next Generation. TNG had only recently gone off the air by the time Voyager's pilot, "Caretaker" premiered, and DS9 was in its fourth season.
4 Voyager's "Action-Packed" Pilot Was Because Of DS9's Low Ratings Star Trek: Voyager's pilot is a true action-adventure story, with multiple dramatic events, daring fight sequences, and a variety of twists and turns. The opening sequence of "Caretaker" sets up the tone of the episode nicely, showcasing an intense fight between Chakotay's Maquis ship and a Cardassian crew in the Badlands, a violent region of space with unpredictable plasma storms.
3 Voyager Returned To A Ship Instead Of DS9's Space Station Another slightly more obvious response to Star Trek: Deep Space Nine was Star Trek: Voyager's return to a starship as its main setting instead of a space station. DS9 was the first Star Trek series to be set on something other than a ship, instead choosing to use a reclaimed Cardassian space station as its primary location.
In contrast, although Star Trek: Voyager's cast of characters isn't fully formed in the pilot, the characters feel a bit more fleshed out than TNG's cast did. Viewers get a much better sense of each character's backstory, and many of the interpersonal relationships that would go on to develop in the series are teased nicely in the pilot, such as Tom Paris and Harry Kim's friendship or the bond between Captain Janeway and Tuvok .
