In the world of Star Trek, there is a lot of techno-babble that goes on in a Star Trek episode. Sometimes, it just gets so technical - because of all the technology names - that it just baffles the hell out of us.

We believe that in order to enjoy a Star Trek episode, you got to understand what they are talking about. To fully appreciate Star Trek, we think that it'd be important to at least understand a little bit about what each piece of technology does or what that techno-babble line meant. For example, what is a gravimetric distortion? We haven't a clue what that is - it's a distortion, yep we know that much. But sometimes, knowing that 'some sort of distortion' just isn't enough.

What about the different coloured uniforms the Starfleet Officers aboard USS Voyager wear? What is the significance of having different colours? What about those metallic round things or the bars on the turtle-neck skivvy?

So throughout the run of Star Trek: Voyager we did some research on all that (as we were new to Star Trek and the whole techno-babble that comes with every Star Trek series).
A few years ago, we were totally dumbfounded with all those technical terms they used on Star Trek. We didn't even know why they had different coloured tops in the uniforms. All we knew was that Kathryn Janeway was the captain and in charge of the ship and Tom Paris was the Helmsman.

So now, because of that research we have better knowledge of the world of Star Trek... not that much more but enough to appreciate and understand what goes on on Star Trek: Voyager. So in this section we've put up the information we found from Factfiles, Internet and books.
