Was there ever a mention of Voyager on DS9?

[Tracy Trek]

I've never watched every episode of DS9 like I have TNG or VOY. Or if I have, it was just once and I don't recall the details. Was there ever a mention of the disappearance of Voyager on the show DS9? Even just a throwaway line. The only thing I can think of is in the 2 part episode The Maquis of DS9, didn't Sisko say something like "There have been a number of unexplained disappearances in this region". But this would have been before Voyager disappeared, but maybe not before Chakotay's ship vanished. I assume Sisko meant the Badlands. I guess this may have been part of setting up the premise for Voyager as well as the 2 TNG episodes Journey's End and Pre-Emptive Strike. I know the Maquis storyline was used on DS9.

I have seen every episode, but some of them not for a very long time. I don't recall there ever being a direct reference to Voyager on the show. There were of course guest appearances by Robert Picardo as Zimmerman/EMH, and Tim Russ as Tuvok on a Mirror Universe episode, but no, no direct mention of Voyager as far as I can remember. Which is a shame, an episode where the Defiant searches the Badlands for her, maybe gets into some trouble in there, possibly getting attacked by some angry Maquis, before concluding that the ship has been lost would have been quite good I think. As well as making the universe feel a bit more 'joined up'.

There wasn't.

The reverse of course is true in that the pilot of VOYAGER has a scene that takes place on Deep Space Nine and features Quark.

I did see the mirror universe that Tim Russ was in. The one that had Dr. Zimmerman from Jupiter Station visit DS9, I haven't seen that. What's the title? I have heard about it. He was evaluating Bashir as template for a new model of EMH. But there was some reason he didn't go with that idea.

"Doctor Bashir, I presume"

The episode was "Doctor Bashir, I Presume". He was using Bashir as a model for a new long-term Medical Hologram. The reason it didn't come to fruition is a big reveal of something important for the character, so I won't spoil it here.

It's worth mentioning that DB,IP implicitly addresses the problem of the EMH on missions far from Federation space, and that Zimmerman's concerns about the EMH are addressed in future Voyager episodes by Zimmerman himself. It is definitely a crossover element of the two series.

Is it in Dr. Bashir, I Presume where they found out his parents had him genetically enhanced when he was a child to correct a learning disability? Because I did hear about that in later episodes. I think I'm going to pull this episode up on Amazon Prime and watch it, while I still can. As I read on this board all of the Trek series would be dropped soon.

@ItIsGreen, I like your idea about how they should have done a DS9 episode having the Defiant search for Voyager. It's a situation that I can see where the Cardassian and maybe Starfleet thinking the Maquis did something. The Maquis probably thinking the Cardassians did something to Chakotay's ship and to Voyager as well. It probably would have made things more tense in the region.

There was also the USS Bellerophon. An Intrepid class starship Admiral Ross and Doctor Bashir used to visit Romulus

Interestingly(?) enough, Deep Space Nine was mentioned by name five times on Voyager:

Plus it appeared in "Caretaker" (where it was apparently never named).

So it would have looked like Voyager, right?

Yup exactly like Voyager. Interior and exterior

 

[DGCatAniSiri]

The Bellerophon being an Intrepid class vessel was pretty much solely for utilizing the already-standing Voyager sets, rather than building or redressing anything else they had available.

Which led to a fun continuity hiccup: the Bellerophon did not have a Captain's Dining Room behind a wall of replicators (which was how the Voyager started out, and supposedly represented the factory standard for the class), but an open area looking much like Neelix' Kitchen... Thankfully, no leola root in evidence!

Speaking of continuity, Starfleet first learned that Janeway's ship was stranded in Delta in "Message in a Bottle", and stardates suggest this happened shortly before the DS9 episode "One Little Ship". That episode would have been one opportunity to mention that our DS9 heroes paid attention to Janeway's plight. But of course the DS9 writers wouldn't have known of this thing in advance, and the stardates would have been sprinkled on the episodes rather randomly and at the last moment anyway.

Another opportunity would have been when our DS9 team next visited the Badlands and perhaps worried about the Caretaker still hijacking ships or whatever - but the Badlands never again featured in the stories.

I wouldn't call that much of a hiccup. Have we ever seen two ships of the same class that are truly identical? (ie: The Odyssey's bridge is different to the Enterprise. The Sao Paolo has different carpet than the Defiant.) An assumption of "factory standard" is only that.

Another opportunity would have been when our DS9 team next visited the Badlands and perhaps worried about the Caretaker still hijacking ships or whatever - but the Badlands never again featured in the stories.

The Badlands do feature again in DS9 seasons 5, 6, and 7.

 

[Bad Thoughts]

I'm not sure that mentioning Voyager on DS9 in Seasons 6 and 7 would have had any impact beyond fan service. Obviously, the losses of many ships (offscreen) were brought up in key episodes, adding to the overall atmosphere of the war narrative. Imagine, after hearing about missing and lost ships, Sisko started to think, "It was like I had stepped through a door and locked it behind me. I was going to ...," but Dax interrupts, "But they found Captain Janeway."

And of course refinements in design as lessons are learned about what worked and didn;t work that well from the first few of the production line.
