What "Star Trek: Voyager" 1-th episode about
Voyager enters an area of space that is devoid of stars. The crew is told that it might be two years before they make it to the other side. As time in the void drags on, the crew becomes more and more despondent, and Capt. Janeway secrets herself away in her ready room.
When the ship losses power, and is attacked and boarded, Voyager is rescued by another race's ship. The Malon ship that rescued Voyager has an amazing proposal for the crew. If they turnover the boarding party alien whom they captured during the attack, the Malon will take Voyager through a spatial vortex that they know about, that will take them all the way across the void.
However, the crew learns that the Malon are using the void as a dumping ground, and poisoning the territory of the attacking aliens. The crew must decide if they should destroy the spatial vortex, or take the easy way out.
