In “Endgame,” the 2001 series finale of Star Trek: Voyager, Kathryn Janeway traveled back in time to an early 25th-century version she deemed undesirable. The ethical implications of this are massive, and we can’t get too mad at Janeway for this, because, in theory, that version of her no longer exists. But did Janeway wipe out anyone else from existence because she tampered with the timeline? In “Endgame,” the daughter of Tom Paris and B'elanna Torres, Miral Paris, helps Janeway get the time travel tech she needs to go back to the past. But did Janeway’s actions rob Miral Parsis of existence? Or merely erase her memories?
A new season of Star Trek Online, which takes place in the early 25th century, has just dropped. And in it, Miral Paris makes a triumphant return, which seems to suggest that this character survived Janeway’s timey-wimey tampering after all.
