Voyager never mentioned/referenced on DS9

[SithHappens]

I don't see why it would be mentioned, sisko referencing the enterprise to worf was fine as it was the flagship..but Voyager is just another ship, I'm sure it wasn't the only one destroyed or vanished, it wasn't even know for a few years it was still around by which time there was more important things going on with the dominion and Klingons, having a passing reference to voyager would have been fan service and nothing more.

Odds are Eddington named the Val Jean.

Are are a lot of them terrorist scum fanboying over Les Misérables?

Seriously... It was probably his ship before it was passed on to Chakotay.

It might have been a loaner.

Maybe he only even infiltrated DS9 because Chuckles didn't bring his ship back.

Star Trek only mentions missing ships when they're about to be found in that episode. Had DS9 directly referenced Voyager's disappearance the majority of the audience would have expected them to investigate and follow ups and that wasn't going to happen so it was better not to mention Voyager at all.

I think that an exception should have been made here since Voyager was an ongoing series.

According to the Stardates, Voyager dissapeared somewhere between the DS9 episodes "The Search" and "Meridian, most likely around the time for the DS9 episodes "Seccond Skin" and "The Abandoned". It would have been nice if they just had added some mentioning about it, maybe at a lunch in Quark's bar when, Quark could have mentioned something to O'Brien and Bashir about it, like:

QUARK: "Do you remember that new ship Voyager which was here last week? It has dissapeared in the Badlands!
O'BRIEN: What? Dissapeared?
QUARK: Yes! It has dissapeared! Or got lost or whatever.
O'BRIEN: Who did tell you about it?
QUARK: I heard Sisko and Kira talk about it this morning here.
BASHIR: I can't believe it! I played a raquetball game against one of the crewmembers, a young guy named Harry, I think it was. How tragic! I wonder what happened.
OBRIEN: Probably they ran into a plasma storm. Or were shot down by the Maquis.
BASHIR: They might be stranded out there on some planet. I hope that Starfleet will search for them.
O'BRIEN: They will and we might get involved in the search.

Such a conversation would have increased the interest among the DS9 viewers for the new series.

I wish that they would have been more crossovers between the three series. it would have been intersting to see what the Enterprise did during the Dominion war.

However Voyager mentions DS9 a handful of times

Well, they never mentioned the attack by the Borg ("First Contact"), even though they changed uniforms at the time without explaining why.

What the hell are you talking about? They mentioned ships going missing several times, and they were never found...

 

[Tosk]

Yes they do, Sisko mentions it in "In Purgatory's Shadow".

 

[C.E. Evans]

I don't think every show needs to be referenced in another. It gives Trek a bad case of Small Universe Syndrome, IMO.

True, we have lower decks for that.

 

[Swedish Borg]

I think Nog mentioned in his journal having met an ensign on DS9 that inspired him to enlist in Star Fleet, he met him again once, seven years later still an ensign while he was a lieutenant... Guess who that ensign was?

I suppose Voyager's disappearance, at the time that it vanished, should have cast suspicion on the Cardassians, and affected relations with the Federation. First a Maquis ship vanishes, and then the Federation ship trying to find that Maquis ship vanishes, seemingly under the Cardassians' noses. If that never came up on DS9, it should have.

Bar that, I can't think of a reason for "Voyager" to be referenced; DS9 ended before Voyager got in contact uith the Alpha Quadrant.

On the other hand, I really wish Voyager had more DS9 references.

• As I mentioned in another thread, they could have encountered a Dominion ship taken by the Caretaker, at some point.
• They should also have crossed paths with a Changeling; the Founders send baby Changelings out into all corners of the galaxy.
• Some of the various severed Borg drones encountered throughout the series should've visibly been from Gamma Quadrant species. (They had assimilated Humans, Bajorans and Romulans in the DQ, so obviously distance is no object for the Collective.)
• Sam Wildman's husband, and Naomi's father, is canonically on DS9; Sam should've mentioned the space station more often, and maybe some of its inhabitants. It'd be great if she'd mention knowing Morn.
• Chakotay and B'Elanna could've dropped the names of some Maquis from DS9. I'd rather hear them mention Ro Laren, but since we're talking about DS9, Cal Hudson or Eddington could've been mentioned.

You really bring up some good points here.
I would have liked to see the Ktarian Greskrendtregk on the station.

In my Kes come-back story Coming Home, Kes encounters a Maquis ship which was taken by The Caretaker and stranded in the Delta Quadrant some years before Voyyager ended up there. The Maquis Commander Novak actually mention Ro Laren in a discussion with Kes.

So I was into such Crossover scenarios already back in the 90's.

I agree that the Federation and Cardassians bickering about the disappearance of Voyager and the maquis ship would have been a nice tie in.

I wonder what a Dominion ship would have done, if it was stranded in the DQ. I mean, obviously the Jem'Hadar couldn't survive after the White ran out, but what would the Vorta do? Kill themselves? Try to make the 30 or 40 years back? Just stay there for a while and do recon for the Dominion? Forget all about the Dominion and simply integrate with some local species?

As for those infant changelings, only a hundred were sent out. Given how humungous the galaxy is, the odds of them actually running into one would be very low, it would work out to about 1 in 80 billion cubic light years. About as low as them running into representatives of AQ species or old AQ junk, I'd say ...

As for your assimilated GQ species, it makes me wonder whether the Borg and the Dominion ever met.

Good.

I can imagine that the reason why Voyager was never mentioned in DS9 is due to security reasons. Being a watchpost,basically, near a contested wormhole of intense Threat Force interest, talking about a missing starship might give an enemy ideas about creating false information regarding the lost starship.
