Chakotay Character from Star Trek: Voyager

Chakotay is a fictional character who appears in each of the seven seasons of the American science fiction television series Star Trek: Voyager. Portrayed by Robert Beltran, he is First Officer aboard the Starfleet starship USS Voyager. The character was suggested at an early stage of the development of the series. He is the first Native American main character in the Star Trek franchise. This was a deliberate move by the producers of the series, who sought to provide an inspiration as with Uhura in Star Trek: The Original Series for African Americans. To develop the character, the producers sought the assistance of Jamake Highwater who falsely claimed to be Native American. Despite first being named as a Sioux, and later a Hopi, Chakotay was given no tribal affiliation at the start of the series, something that was later resolved in the episode "Tattoo".

In the Star Trek science fiction franchise, the Maquis are a 24th-century paramilitary organization-terrorist group first introduced in the 1994 episode "The Maquis" of the television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and subsequently appearing in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Voyager. The Maquis story debuted when three Star Trek television shows running from the late 1980s to 2001 took place in the same fictional science-fiction universe at the same time in the future. As a result, the Maquis story was told across dozens of episodes across all three shows. The Maquis are especially prominent in Star Trek: Voyager, as the fundamental premise of the series is that a Federation crew and a Maquis crew are stranded together on the opposite side of the Galaxy.
