Voyager variant of a classic:
VOY s7e9 “Flesh and Blood”
Admittedly, Ensign Ricky’s fate isn’t shown on screen. However, after Paris beams out with the lone Hirogen survivor, Seven shuts down the simulation which leaves her, Chakotay, Tuvok, and stray bodies… no Ricky.
Didn’t even give him the courtesy of a glorious death.
Huh, this begs the question: did Voyager acquire enough new crew members to maintain a constant population?
Janeway learned a trick or two from O’Brien before leaving for the Badlands. Buffered backups.
Couldn’t they use this to make a clone army?
No… that would be unethical.
They were saddled with duplicate Kim since season 1.
This website has a tracker for the Voyager population. Not sure of the accuracy since there is no mention of poor “Ensign Ricky”.

Ensign Ricky is just a placeholder for whichever sad sap gets zapped next.
This list (and this site in general) is certainly a sign of someone with deep psychosis, but I love that someone did the math all the same. Lol
The wiki with the chairs on Star Trek is way better for that minute detail nerd cred.
Now that’s a dedication to Nerdiness that the Web used to reek of! Thank you for linking to that.
I would challenge their final paragraph about medical staff. Given the length of time Voyager was traveling, I’d expect at least one or two members to learn at least some medical skills to augment sickbay. They might be official medical staff, but any sideways references to a ‘team’ or pluralized sickbay could be easily handled by anyone who crash coursed into it.
I would also like to see the square meters per Voyager crew member. The ship had tons of space to go around.
They did get some of the Equinox crew at one point, I’m sure that helped
6 from Equinox, Seven, Neelix, and Kes (but only 'til early season 4 plus an extra appearance). The rest from the buffer as needed.
Don’t forget about all the Maquis.
I count them from the get go, but fair.
Didn’t they get some ex-Borgs as well, like Icheb?
The other kids left shortly after. And as for Icheb… well, the less said the better. Justice for Icheb!
