Voyager Mirror universe

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Big question about a Mirror Universe Voyager is about the nature of the mirror- is every civilization reversed in morality? In Enterprise/DS-9 the alien races seemed pretty much the same, the only differences being from interactions with the Terran Empire causing them to change their roles in the order of things.

From the look of things, it's just humanity that's different. In the regular universe, the Federation; in the MU, the Terran Empire. All other races appear to be the same.

As for Voyager: I can't say I'm a fan of the way the recent Myriad Universes works (i.e. "Obsidian Alliances") have handled it. Especially:

Spoiler: MU

MU Janeway being a spy for the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance who was taught by MU Owen Paris to hate her own kind

That being said, perhaps the "Living Witness" version of events was actually real - i.e. that version of Voyager came from an alternate MU where there still was a Terran Empire, and even the entire episode took place in that universe. I'm sure there's lots of ways that the "Living Witness" EMH could have gotten there and not been evil...

Haha I downloaded one of the Myriad Universe books but haven't read it yet. There is a scandalous looking pic of Janeway and Seven on the cover. I'm going to read it soon I think but I'm not sure ill like it because it's not MY Janeway...

As others have said, realistically we know from the events explained on the DS9 mirror universe episodes that ISS Voyager wouldn't even exist in the MU. In fact, we do know what one of the mirror universe Voyager crew was up to: Tim Russ actually appears as the mirror universe version of Tuvok in the DS9 third season episode "Through the Looking Glass", as one of the rebel group, although I can't recall if his identity is actually confirmed in any of the dialogue...

Does anyone have an idea what stories there could be for a mirror universe voyager show.

Lots of Janeway/Torres/Kes/Seven-of-Nine over-the-top lesbianism, if the DS9 mirror universe stories are any indication.

Yeah this is the cover for one of the mirror books I haven't read yet but I have downloaded. Looks...spicy. I'll read the mirror books once I'm finished some others waiting to be read.

Did Jeri steal Kira hair?

Lance, we assume that there are many, many, many Mirror Universes.

Dark Passions is great! A romp and a half.

 

[Guy Gardener]

How do you halve a romp?

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

You romp and then because you are afraid you will miss out on something you romp some more and collapse before you are done.

 

[Guy Gardener]

Where are you hiding the camera in my house?

I think the same basic setup could easily work in a Mirror Universe setting. A Klingon-Cardassian Alliance warship is chasing down a Terran Rebellion starship (ISS Voyager; its existence would be a conceit for the story's purposes) in the Badlands when the Caretaker pulls both ships into the Delta Quadrant. The Alliance ship is destroyed and its crew forced to integrate into the Terran one as they work together to try and get home.

Janeway would, of course, be a member of the Rebellion, along with Tuvok (as established in DS9).

Harry would still be the kid of the group, but I think it'd be more fun if he grew up on a frontier planet with limited Alliance control, meaning he didn't suffer many of the same hardships most other Terrans did, and just joined the Rebellion looking for adventure.

Tom Paris could be a nominally independent smuggler who transported weapons and supplies to the Rebellion via the Badlands, and gets captured by the Alliance and forced to help hunt the ISS Voyager down.

B'Elanna could be the child of a Klingon and a Terran slave, and treated poorly in the Alliance because of it.

I picture Chakotay as being sort of the foreman among freed/indentured Terran crewmen on the Alliance ship, and the highest ranking member of that crew after the Alliance ship is destroyed.

Not sure what to do with the Doctor; tricky holograms! Maybe he was a prototype Cardassian medical hologram reprogrammed by the Rebellion to look and behave more Terran. Or just keep him Cardassian, since this is obviously something that will never be on screen.

I imagine that the more aggressive and antagonistic Mirror Universe personalities would make Mirror Voyager more like nuBSG in terms of tone.

^ The MU rebellion did build a stunningly accurate Defiant based only on a few stolen schematics. Chances are pretty good that if they had enough resources they could definitely make a bash at a Voyager too. It might be a cut-price version though.

Yeah I'm going to read it soon. I have sooo many books waiting to be read and not enough me...

But good to hear it's fun to read. The cover looks scandalous.
