Voyager producer Jeri Taylor wrote two novels featuring backstory for Voyager characters,
and screen authors David Gerrold, D. C. Fontana, and Melinda Snodgrass have also penned books.
Jeri helps Josh get the recipe for the Kronish balls,
catches him going through the lab's employee records(and helps him do it), and eventually helps him escape from the police, for no apparent reason.
When they complained that the show wasn't“sexy” enough,
Berman was ordered to bring in curvy actress Jeri Ryan as Seven of Nine, a member
of the Borg collective who is captured and rehabilitated by the Voyager crew.
