While working undercover on a Maquis ship, Tuvok was pulled into the Delta Quadrant along with the rebel crew. His loss spurred Captain Janeway's rescue mission into the Badlands, which also carried her crew 70,000 light-years from home. When the two crews united, Tuvok would have been next in line to replace the recently deceased first officer, but Janeway decided on enlisting the Maquis commander, Chakotay, as her second-in-command. The Vulcan was not offended by this decision as he did not have the emotional capacity for jealousy. His time in the Delta Quadrant would go a long way toward helping him understand alien emotions, thanks in no small part to the influence of the Talaxian, Neelix.
