Between blowing up a Borg transwarp conduit, averting an Omega catastrophe, and surviving an absurd lost in deep space scenario, is there anything in the Voyager mission log that wouldn’t get chalked up to, “Well you were on your own and had to make some difficult choices.”
Their botched alliance with the Kazon, giving holographic technology to the Hirogen, and the whole Tuvix episode would likely be footnotes during her debrief. They’d probably spend more time asking questions about meeting Amelia Earhart, proving that a graviton ellipse swallowed the Aries VI orbiter, and wanting to know more about… am I reading this correctly? A space pitcher plant?
You have to imagine her initial encounter with the Caretaker would get the most interrogation. In hindsight would a Federation council agree with her decision to blow up the caretaker’s array, or would Starfleet captains get sent some additional footnotes to the prime directive about not stranding your crew seventy years away from home?
Someone should actually make a spreadsheet from every episode evaluating every single decision she made, and try to do some honest ethical calculus on it. I think that would be an awesome post and worthy of some serious discussion here.

!daystrominstitute@startrek.website is leaking.
Unironically they would do something like that haha
I want someone more talented than me to write an in universe biography.
As if a biographer interviewed the crew and Janeway. Read logs etc.
It could include details about her early life, the time on Voyager, then afterwards. Court cases, and how revelations came out.
A whole life biography of Janeway is a standalone book.
Or maybe they’ll add a timed detonation mode to future torpedoes so they can jump and then blow up the array.
