USS Vortex

The USS Vortex was a starship in The Doctor's fictional holonovel Photons Be Free. It was much darker compared to USS Voyager, on which it was based, and is always at red alert. It was commanded by the war-like Captain Jenkins and populated by a distorted version of the Voyager crew, whose individual traits – particularly their negative ones – were exaggerated. The protagonist in Photons Be Free is the underappreciated and cruelly treated EMH aboard the Vortex who is forced to serve as the ship's chief medical officer following the death of the entire medical staff in the incident with the Caretaker.
