When it comes to the iconic Star Trek series, Voyager holds a special place in the hearts of fans. One of the reasons for its popularity was the introduction of the character Seven of Nine, played by the talented Jeri Ryan. However, the addition of this new character did raise some concerns, especially for Captain Kathryn Janeway, portrayed by the formidable Kate Mulgrew.
Brannon Braga, a producer and writer on Star Trek: Voyager, had a different perspective on the matter. In his view, Seven of Nine actually contributed to the development of Captain Janeway's character. Braga explained this in the book 'The Fifty-Year Mission: The Next 25 Years' by Edward Gross and Mark A. Altman. He saw Seven of Nine as a sort of project for Janeway, who was determined to restore her humanity after being raised by the Borg.
