Cant rememember which thread I saw it in recently but I thought I would start a new thread for the topic itself.
Basically...we really do need a Discovery era Janeway in this game!!!
Story wise it can fit in- as the current Admiral Janeway looking for Discovery plot proves...plus we have a whole load of Voyager / Janeway time travel sagas from the tv show it could fit in to to make it happen ( Braxton sends Janeway back...Annorax mis calculates, Q wants to test her skills...etc etc)
Clearly its a timelines original card, and for this we already have precidents in COP Founder Picard and 23rd Century Martok in the portal already.
So Please, pretty please DB....can we have a Discovery Janeway???

I'm deadly serious on this.... for both of the very reasons you list in your post. Along with the joke on this forum of "ANOTHER Janeway card / event!?"
Ooooooh, them's fightin' words!
Its Discovery Janeway!!!
Its better than the much nagged for Cheesecake Seven!!
If you are going to be negative at least be original.
Innit. Every franchise has an element that may not like a certain aspect....with reasons personal to them of course. There are loads who dislike DS9, VOY, ENT and DISCO and im betting many will not like what Picard is and Lower Decks when they arrive too.
Other franchises have devisive elements...Star Wars has The Last Jedi and Phantom Menace...Red Dwarf has series viii...there are many more I could list.
Thats why we NEED Discovery Janeway....its a joke we can all appreciate!!!
And also: Huh?? Were this to happen, it would be a character from Voyager, but just wearing a Discovery uniform. I'm trying to fathom how one's hatred of a series can extend to the fabric that the characters wear.
Could you please continue the petty bickering? I find it most intriguing.

Lol, the funny part of this is that people hate on Discovery for its originality - as in, it's not exactly the same Trek we got with TNG, DS9, VOY and ENT.
Personally the only part I don't like is that instead of harmless nonsensical technobabble, they butcher actual physics and combine it with a little space magic, to end up with something that makes even less sense.
I am a fan of Chef Janeway. Shame she had so many responsibilities being Captain or she would have given Neelix a run for his money.
You mean the show whose performance justified the announcement of (to date) four new TV shows in the franchise?
Man, I need to start failing as badly as Discovery.
One man's' garbage another man's' treasure
Evolved Janeway has DIP as her?.. its primary skill, but I do not think your question encompassed fusion cards, so that leaves Agent Janeway. 🖖

EDIT: I forgot about Arachnia. :: facepalms ::
Not so much interested in the progressiveness. I like it because it’s filmed more like a movie than a TV show
And all Star Trek is progressive. Gene Rodenberry made it so.
I like Discovery and its the only reason i signed up for netflix to be honest. (Although for the record 1x24 episode season as in tng, ds9, and voy gives far more chance for character deveopmemt than 1x14 ep season like Disco has) I like Voyager too as it goes.
But when I saw the Janeway in a Disco uniform on a previous thread it made me laugh so much. And being how in this game Janeway has a habit if popping up in places you would not normally expect it seemed like a brilliant idea!!
Ya know Enterprise is on Netflix too
Heck yes...Enterprise too!! I actually owned the full first season in that on VHS thank gosh for dvd!
I remember when it was $150 for the set. Now it’s $10 a month. Which I guess after 15 months it’s $150
To be fair to Discovery it has gone a lot further more explicitly than any previous Star Trek. I consider this it's greatest strength. For many years Star Trek was a little uncomfortable with progressiveness, with plenty of issues in all of the previous series regarding depiction of women and minorities despite the nice words it would say from time to time.
It's not just TOS, TNG dreadfully underserved it's female cast members and had an openly racist episode. Enterprise and Voyager potentially went even further against the trend by having explicitly sexualised cast members. Basically Star Trek hasn't always been as progressive as it could have been even by the standards of the time. Discovery to its credit cannot have the same charge levelled against it.
Now if only they could have married good ideas to good writing.... Still, I live in hope.
I think that is such a sad indictment on society that Discovery is seen as very progressive. Why is it very progressive to be inclusive and to say hate and racism are bad? Why is following The Golden Rule seen as being very progressive and not just as common decency?
Compared to most of human history, it is progressive. Perhaps the word “aspirational” would be more apt to describe all of Star Trek. 🖖
Discovery Janeway is needed as a cheeky wink with a smile to us who play the game
