Read more about Chakotay at: Wikipedia Official Site: Paramount Television Chakotay ( ), played by Robert Beltran, is a character in Star Trek: Voyager. He is the First Officer of the USS Voyager. The character Chakotay was born in 2329. As a boy, he often rebelled against his Native American upbringing in his father Kolopak's unnamed tribe, with its sometimes strict spiritual and cultural traditions. He dreamed of entering Starfleet Academy, which he finally managed to do at age 15, sponsored by Captain Sulu. (Voyager episode "Tattoo"). He attended Starfleet Academy from 2344 to 2348, where he engaged in the sport of boxing. During his tenure in Starfleet, he was assigned as an instructor in Starfleet's Advanced Tactical Training and achieved the rank of Lieutenant Commander. This may be a reference to the TNG episode Preemptive Strike where Ro Laren reveals that her tactical training instructor, a lieutenant commander, left Starfleet to join the Maquis. While not explicitly stated in the series, Chakotay's official biography on the official Star Trek website also states that he was Ro Laren's instructor at Advanced Tactical Training. In 2370, Chakotay's home planet in the Demilitarized Zone was ceded to the Cardassian in accordance with a treaty between the Federation and Cardassia. He subsequently resigned from Starfleet and joined a rogue group known as the Maquis. During his time as a renegade fighter against the Cardassians, Chakotay inducted into his Maquis cell the half-Klingon woman B'Elanna Torres who became his chief engineer. He also invited a Bajoran named Seska and the two became involved in a romantic relationship for a time. However, unknown to Chakotay, Seska was actually a Cardassian spy who had been surgically altered to infiltrate the Maquis.
