Walter Baxter



Lieutenant Walter Baxter was a human Starfleet officer who served aboard the USS Voyager (NCC-74656) in the 2370s.

A few weeks after becoming stranded in the Delta Quadrant, Commander Chakotay ordered Baxter and Ensign Seska to take the unconscious Captain Kathryn Janeway to sickbay during a Dresh attack. (VOY short story: "Command Code").

Although Baxter was a command division officer, he often worked in the ship's security department, so was often in Voyager 's gymnasium to maintain peak fitness levels. This often resulted in numerous trips to sickbay with broken bones and torn ligaments. During the early days, he was highly dismissimive of the Doctor, but this soon changed when the Doctor threatened to inform Captain Janeway of his constant visits to sickbay. (VOY episodes: "Eye of the Needle" and "Twisted").
