Tuvok's backstory is told during the first episode of Voyager, where he worked as an undercover Federation agent aboard a Maquis ship, the Val Jean, led by Chakotay. The starship Voyager, under the command of Captain Kathryn Janeway, is sent to extract Tuvok, but the mission is interrupted as both ships are catapulted across the galaxy by a mysterious force. Janeway leads both crews on a return trip home for seven years in uncharted space, creating the basic setting of the series.
