Although the Cardassian War has ended the Cardassians still attack Federation outposts. Even though Star Fleet reacts to every notable aggression, some colonists have decided that in an emergency they will take the situation into their own hands. This group of resistance fighters call themselves "Maquis". They are freedom fighters, convinced that only there modus operandi can protect themselves and their relatives from the Cardassian aggressors. Some of them are Star Fleet officers who have resigned their commission, resigned from the Academy or have been dismissed by Star Fleet. Star Fleet sent the Voyager to find a Maquis ship of the Peregrine Class named Val Jean. The vessel is a Raider. The relatively small Raiders are noted for their speed but are not heavily armed. The Val Jean finds itself in a unusual region of space, the so called "Badlands", as it as the Voyager also are transported by a transition wave to the remote Delta Quadrants. During a Kazon attack, the Val Jean is sacrificed In order to protect the Voyager. The crew of the Maquis vessel were however previously transferred to the Voyager. Both crewsdecide to strike an alliance, which neither really relishes but is however necessary in order to increase the chances of survival on the long journey back to Federation Space.
