Star Trek: 10 Times The Ship Was Stolen

10. I Don't Mean To Be Basic

Star Trek: Voyager's second season came to a fiery close with Basics, the episode that saw the ship stolen by the ever sneaky Seska, and her accomplice Maj Cullah. 

At least, it seemed initially to all be Seska's machinations, before it quickly became clear that Cullah was running the show. The Kazon Nistrim were a fiercely male dominated, proud race of thugs. With a combination of constant pressure and Seska's knowledge of the ship, they finally managed to overcome Voyager's defences and take control.

Captain Janeway and most of the crew were then unceremoniously dumped on a nearby, semi-prehistoric world, replete with giant carnivorous worms, frequent volcanic eruptions, and an alien race who weren't massively keen on shaking hands at first. 

Though the ship would be retaken thanks to Tom Paris, Lon Suder, the EMH, and some friendly Talaxians (sounds like the start of a joke), the whole incident was not without cost. It was a stark lesson in the dangers of the Delta Quadrant, though it helped to shore up the ship's defences from later abduction attempts.
