Unlike the crews on Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, the Voyager crew spent the entire series in the same basic Starfleet uniforms. This, of course, was because the ship was lost in the Delta Quadrant, where it was presumably impossible to get shipments from the Starfleet Quartermaster. But the other reason undoubtedly relates to Captain Janeway's character. She understood that maintaining Starfleet discipline was the only way that her crew could survive the terrifying dangers of the Delta Quadrant. These uniforms were therefore a reflection of Janeway's determination to see her people safely returned home.
