''Voyager'' was launched with a crew compliment of 141. Her initial short assignment did not call for a [[counselor]] to be assigned. With the addition of the Maquis along with Neelix and Kes the crew compliment rose to 152 by end of ''Voyager''{{'}}s first year in the Delta Quadrant. ({{VOY|The 37's}})

The initial transfer to the Delta Quadrant was costly for the crew. Over a dozen crewmembers were killed, including the original first officer, chief engineer, the entire medical staff, and a transporter chief. However, over the course of her journey, ''Voyager'' gained crewmembers from [[species]] indigenous to the Delta Quadrant, such as former Borg drones [[Seven of Nine]], [[Icheb]], [[Mezoti]], and the twins [[Rebi]] & [[Azan]], as well as the [[Talaxian]] Neelix and the [[Ocampa]] Kes, who joined ''Voyager'' after Janeway destroyed the [[Caretaker's array]]. In [[2376]], ''Voyager'' also received the five surviving crewmembers from the [[starship]] {{USS|Equinox}}. Several species were represented on ''Voyager'', including [[Human]]s, [[Vulcan]]s, [[Bolian]]s, [[Betazoid]]s, [[Bajoran]]s, a [[Klingon]]/Human hybrid ([[B'Elanna Torres]]), a [[Ktarian]]/Human hybrid ([[Naomi Wildman]]) as well as others.

Although [[Commander]] [[Chakotay]] believed that ''Voyager'' could only operate effectively with a crew of at least one hundred, various circumstances have shown this to not be the case. When circumstances required it, the ship has been able to operate effectively with even a single crewmember. In [[2374]], [[Seven of Nine]] was forced to maintain the vessel alone for several days while the crew was in stasis while passing through a nebula. Although she did have [[The Doctor]] for assistance for the first couple of weeks, eventually the nebula caused his program to go offline. In [[2377]], The Doctor was able to engage several [[Quarren patrol ship]]s while the crew was brainwashed into working for various Quarren employers on their homeworld, although he was subsequently forced to retreat to a nebula to repair the damage the ship had sustained- including the loss of life support- until assistance arrived in the form of the ''[[Delta Flyer II|Delta Flyer]]'' and Chakotay, [[Harry Kim]] and [[Neelix]], who had been away on a diplomatic mission when the ship was attacked.

===The Maquis===
With the destruction of the ''Val Jean'' during their first days in the Delta Quadrant, Starfleet and Maquis crew members were first forced to cooperate with one another to get their missing crew members back and then to merge aboard ''Voyager'' to embark on their decades long journey [[Alpha Quadrant|home]]. Captain Janeway granted the Maquis provisional field commissions with many filling the roles left vacant by the vessels losses in the initial transfer to the Delta Quadrant. Of the several key positions on ''Voyager'' that were filled by former Maquis crew members, that of [[First officer]] was filled by [[Chakotay]] and the position of [[Chief engineer]] went to [[B'Elanna Torres]]. By [[2377]], about one quarter of ''Voyager''{{'}}s crew consisted of former Maquis members.

Early in the ship's journey, Lieutenant [[Tuvok]] believed that with so many Maquis on board there was a serious risk of [[mutiny]] and and so designed a [[Insurrection Alpha|holodeck training program]] to prepare for such an event. Despite Tuvok's concerns, however, the opposite proved to be the case and the two crews, for the most part, integrated well. However, incidents such as [[Seska]] defecting to the [[Kazon-Nistrim]] and [[Michael Jonas]] secretly providing information about ''Voyager'' to them, along with [[Lon Suder]] murdering crewman [[Frank Darwin]] had serious repercussions for ''Voyager'' early in its journey. These issues were resolved by 2373 and in the end it took mind control for the all the remaining Maquis to finally temporarily mutiny against ''Voyager''. After a while, Captain Janeway herself stopped distinguishing between the two crews as Maquis and Starfleet and began thinking of them simply as members of ''her'' crew, to the point that she was offended when Admiral [[Hayes (Male Admiral)|Hayes]] requested their "status" in [[2377]].

Although most of the Maquis crew members integrated well into a Starfleet command structure, some had more difficulty; this caused Tuvok to organize a "boot camp" to get the insubordinate Maquis in line and familiar with Starfleet protocols. ({{VOY|Learning Curve}})

News of the Maquis' slaughter at the hands of the [[Dominion]] in 2373 took a heavy emotional toll on many of the former ''Val Jean'' crew, especially in the case of B'Elanna Torres, who fell into a deep emotional chasm over the death of her Maquis companions and engaged in some rather strange and even self-destructive behavior that began to concern the crew.
