Kate Mulgrew
The actress made it big by playing Mary Ryan in Ryan’s Hope. She made history by playing the first female captain in the franchise. She talked about the role this way: “Captain Kathryn Janeway is the quintessential woman of the future…both commanding and discerning in her warmth; she’s authoritative while remaining accessible. Beneath her extraordinary control runs a very deep vein of vulnerability and sensitivity that I look forward to exploring in seasons to come.”

Roxann Dawson as B’Elanna Torres
In the show, B’Elanna Torres was half Klingon and half-human. We know Klingons as antagonistic creatures, so it was difficult for her to be both things at once. She got her start as a part of the Maquis terrorists. The Starfleet pursued them, but both got zapped into a universe 70,000 light-years away. They ended up working together to survive. This was how the character joined the Starfleet!
