OK, I've started similar threads in the TNG and DSN forums, so I figured I'd take a crack at posting some alternate quantum reality versions of VOY. Here's my first attempt.
In this quantum reality, the Starfleet and Maquis members are almost totally flipped: for example, Chakotay and B’Elanna are Starfleet, while Janeway and Kim are Maquis.
Captain Chakotay, Commanding Officer. Just promoted to captain, this is Chakotay’s second command. Chakotay and other family members were able to convince his father and most members of their tribe to relocate to another colony far from the Demilitarized Zone between Federation and Cardassian space. As a result, his father Kopak wasn’t killed by Cardassians, the event that caused Chakotay to join the Maquis, so he remains a dedicated Starfleet officer, although he has some sympathies with the Maquis’ objectives. Ordered to pursue the Maquis ship Val Jean, they wind up in the Delta Quadrant because of the myterious Caretaker. Just as in the other reality, he decides to destroy the array, stranding the ship in that far-flung part of the galaxy.
Commander Janeway, First Officer. Janeway’s fiancé, Mark, was killed by Cardassians, ironically because he was living temporarily on Chakotay’s ancestral colony. This caused Janeway to question her choice of career in Starfleet and join the Maquis. After being stranded in the Delta Quadrant, she agrees to serve as Chakotay’s first officer, who grants her the provisional rank of full commander.
Lt. Cmdr. B’Elanna Torres, Operations Officer and Second Officer. Long-time colleague of Chakotay and a student of his in his tactical class at Starfleet Academy. She’s not as undisciplined and prone to anger as the B’Elanna we know as she’s taken to heart Chakotay’s meditation techniques.
Dr. Neelix, Chief Medical Officer. In this reality, the EMH is activated only briefly, although he serves as Dr. Neelix’s assistant on difficult cases. Neelix studied medicine with the Vidiians, but left them when he realized how they were misusing their medical knowledge to cure themselves of the phage. Stealing a scout craft, he used his medical knowledge as a kind of one-man interstellar doctor without a border. Upon coming across Voyager, he realizes he can integrate his knowledge with their sophisticated technology and work even more marvels. He trades his knowledge in return for Captain Chakotay making him chief medical officer.
Kes. Kes is married to Dr. Neelix and his trusted top nurse and medical assistant. Her personality and character are similar, only she knows more about medical care than her counterpart. She is also a much better chef than Neelix and takes on that duty as well.
Lt. Tom Paris, Chief Security Officer. As security chief, he is the Starfleet spy who infiltrates Janeway’s crew on the Val Jean. His happy-go-lucky exterior belies how seriously he takes his duty as chief security officer. Paris long ago noticed that adopting a breezy exterior caused his adversaries to underestimate him, or not understand that beneath his bravado lies a razor-keen mind, able to spot trouble a mile away. Tom wears a circle beard. He and Chakotay have a somewhat strained relationship, but they respect each other as colleagues.
Lt. Tuvok, Chief Engineer. As in the reality we know, Tuvok served briefly in Starfleet, then left to begin a civilian life. He becomes interested in starship design and eventually becomes one of the Federation’s foremost civilian engineers. Tuvok rejoins Starfleet, where he works on the design team that eventually develops the neural gel packs used on Voyager. He survives when the ship is transported by the Caretaker to the Delta Quadrant, unlike the chief engineer in the reality we're familiar with.
Ens. Harry Kim, Helm Officer. Disgruntled Starfleet Academy dropout, the bitter Kim joins up with Janeway’s band of Maquis. He has a big chip on his shoulder, and is among the most difficult to integrate in Voyager’s crew. He carries a scar on his right cheek that he refuses to have removed, as it reminds him of his fight with the Cardassians. Although at odds with the senior staff, he develops a wary friendship with Tom.
