Had Voyager Never Been Sent to the Delta Quadrant

A term used by fans who imagine a relationship between characters (either as posts in a board like this, or in a fan fiction), usually either more extensive than what we saw on screen, or a pair that were never a couple on the show/movie.
Shipper is taken from the "ship" in "Relationship"
What would have happened if Voyager had never been sent to the DQ? Well, ...we would have never been there to chat longly about people (human and aliens) met and discoveries made during their journey of 7 years! It's that simple! 
But as I already wrote it, I would have liked to see Janeway and her crew on Earth too, even for 10 min, just to see if they had adapted well to their "new" life and what have changed, because, you can be assured that changes will occur, knowing that nothing remains static and that's sometimes what some people regret at their return to reality.

Those Romulans were pretty feckless. I can imagine them being outwitted by some Pakleds before making it to Romulan space.
Thus follows The Great Pakled War.

Wait, I thought that a shipper was someone who believes there is or was or should or could be (OUF!) a relationship between 2 characters in a certain fandom (= fan series)..
ex: Janeway/Chakotay - Janeway/Seven - Seven/Torres - Chakotay/Paris , etc... (ST: Voyager); Hotchner/Prentiss - Morgan/Prentiss - Morgan/Garcia - Prentiss/JJ (Criminal Minds); Meredith/Alex (Grey's Anatomy, etc...
Anyway, it makes talk and especially, makes them dream of pairings which never happened or will never happen!

Janeway would have made an ally with an enemy here to help her crew out and still have not promoted Kim.
The whole lizard babies thing would have been avoided, though, so that's a plus.

Few people know that the Mirror Universe is a result of Janeway getting a bad lunch order.
Janeway doesn't give a rat's tail about the TPD because she's secretly a Q I mean it's the only reason Q likes her.
Now that would be an interesting story.
The post series novels touch on this a bit.
Think about it, Q takes an interest in her after Picard and he have come to a truce of sorts, her routine violations of temporal laws and her penchant haughty behavior combined with a sort of sincerity means she could certainly be more than she appears.
Is she a long lost Q? No probably not but Q's interest in her does demand closer scrutiny.

Speaking of the novelverse, one of the Myriad Universe stories touches on this in a scenario, and Janeway and Cavit become best friends.
I do wonder at how Voyager would fair during the Dominion War. I know that in its aftermath, Starfleet started to field smaller vessels as part of it's refocus on scientific exploration, like the Nova class. At least I think that is a canon thing. The Intrepid class seems the early result of that focus, despite being launched prior to the Dominion War.

If Tuvok had not been a Maquis spy anymore prior to the start of Voyager, the Maquis ship with Chakotay and Torres would still get pulled into the Delta Quadrant, but they wouldn't last long. Voyager would have not been sent to the Delta Quadrant.
No Neelix, no Kes (would still be on Ocampa), no borg children, no Seven of Nine (she would still be borg on that borg ship).
Voyager would just have normal missions in the Alpha Quadrant and Beta Quadrant. Tuvok would have returned to starfleet service and served on Voyager as Chief Tactical/Security. Harry Kim would stay on and would get promoted a couple times throughout the series. Voyager would still have Janeway's first officer, the chief medical officer, the head nurse, chief engineer, Stadi As for Tom Paris, perhaps Janway would still have him as an observer and to be reinstated into starfleet service and perhaps have a choice of serving on the ship.
Samantha Wildman would have stayed on DS9 with her husband and still give birth to Naomi.

Oops, forgot.....guess I forgot who was who lol Its been awhile since I watched Voyager on my DVDs lol
Edited my post up there.

If the original people had stayed aboard, it would have been interesting to see how they would have accepted Tom gradually (or would not have accepted him at all). I guess in this case Tom's relationship with his father would have been different, too. And his father would probably have been played by the strict figure from PERSISTENCE OF VISION, rather than by the kind man in seasons six and seven.
Also, Tommyboy could have become nurse from Day 1 on ...
If Voyager had been commissioned to catch the Maquis, perhaps Janeway and Sisko would have worked together and caught both Chakotay and Eddington. Oh, and perhaps Martha Hackett (sp.?) as Seska could have met Martha Hackett as the Romulan ambassador on Deep Space Nine ...
If Voyager had never made it to the Delta Quadrant, I would still want to know more about the Borg and especially Seven of Nine. If she had managed to free herself of the Collective somehow, a mini-series following her life as a separate drone or ex-drone would have been interesting. She could still have got involved with Species 8472. In addition, a storyline could have shown us how the Borg stopped Annorax from using his time weapon (whatever it is called) to destroy everyone.
Another mini-series following the events on Ocampa and the stories revolving around the female Caretaker would also have been interesting.
If Voyager had stayed here in the Alpha Quadrant, I myself would want to use the Paxau Resort programme for recreational purposes. I know ... we'd need Neelix for that but perhaps someone else would have come up with a similar idea. A Caribbean simulation for example.
Whether my adventures on the holodeck could be turned into a mini-series ... that is a question even I cannot answer ...

One of Voyager's longer more subtle themes is that even though they are wayfarers in a distant part of the Milky Way they are rubbing off Federation influence on other worlds and cultures.
They did have a positive impact, negotiating with species, sharing technology(with bad consequences as well). Dealing with some of the "bad guys."
The Delta Quadrant without Voyager passing through would have remained under the through of inter-system and species conflict, Borg assimilation, various forms of parasitism and general backwardness. That's the benefit of Voyager they helped.

Not necessarily. Tuvok's presence and his actions may have led them to that situation. Chakotay and his crew may have been in a different place if there was no Tuvok around in the first place.
1. What is Tuvok returning from??
2. No, Paris would have been sent back to the prison. Pre-DQ Janeway was a rule stickler compared to latter seasons.
3. Why would Samantha Wildman stay on DS9? She probably would have preferred to raised a baby aboard a Federation starship than a Cardie station. And separate assignments seem to be a commonplace. Geordi's parents weren't together and they didn't seem to be divorced.
