10 Star Trek Characters That Just VANISHED
1. Rollins
Rollins appeared in the pilot episode of Star Trek: Voyager, Caretaker. He served as the Chief Tactical Officer while Tuvok was on his spy mission, then moved to the Conn position once Tuvok returned.
He would quickly lose this position to Lt. Paris, though he was promoted for his troubles. Apparently the producers weren't content to allow him that happy ending as he ended up in a physical fight with Paris. From Rollins' point of view, this was over sloppy reporting. From Paris' point of view, it was part of a plot to out the mole on board the ship and Rollins' jaw just got in the way.
This fight was hardly life threatening so Rollins' disappearance is all the more surprising. The USS Voyager was a finite space, with no starbases or spacedocks on the way home to Starfleet. Was he reassigned to holodeck maintenance? Was he one of the many officers lost along the way home? Or did he simply find a temporal transporter, hope across the galaxy, and don some Xindi make-up? Actor Scott MacDonald may be the only one who can properly answer that one but for now Rollins remains one of the great mysteries of the Delta Quadrant.
