Star Trek: 10 Times Voyager Could Have Got Home

This may be the least likely, yet still, technically it counts as a way for the ship and crew to make it home. When Voyager encounters the USS Equinox, they quickly discover that the smaller Nova-class ship has been making use of some very shady dealings to boost its engine capacity.

They've been harvesting the remains of nucleogenic aliens, aliens who can't survive in our plane of existence. This boosts the warp core like nitro in a car engine, with one rather large catch: the murder of these aliens does not go unnoticed.

By the time the Equinox catches up to Voyager, it has taken heavy damage, with quite a few of the crew having died in battle, or been killed by these rightly pissed off aliens. Now, technically the two crews could have worked together to streamline the process, reducing loss of life, and also discovered a way to encourage the aliens not to pursue.

However, this writer is being informed by the bigwigs at TrekCulture that even making this suggestion may land me in some rather warm water. So instead, I'll say - this could have been a way for Voyager to get home, but aren't we all glad that they didn't take the opportunity? Right?
