Is it true that Cpt Janeway's first command was the USS Billing? I was watching one of the older episodes where Tuvok told commander Chakotay that "when the captain was in command of the USS Billing, during a survey mission...." Any input is appreciated...

Well, the line didn't change on MY version of the tape, so I'd say yes, until someone at Voyager decides to pull a Captain Kirk on us and switch it.
Oh, and it's the U.S.S. Billings, not Billing.

yup, I think he did. He also served with her onboard Voyager I think 3 years before the pilot episode. By the way, does any know how old is Tuvok?

It would have been rather difficult for anyone to have served under anyone on Voyager for very long before "Caretaker", since her first mission was to track down a certain Maquis ship lost in the Badlands.

Tuvok is the only person that could've served under her before, isn't he?
And wasn't the episode "Night"?

I don't think this would be canon, but the novel Star Trek Voyager Mosaic by Jeri Taylor says she commanded a science ship with Tuvok under her command. He pointed out she did not do battle exercises as much as she should.

"Caretaker" wasn't Voyager's first mission, was it?

I want to say yes, it was. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's the impression given.

The only unaccounted for time regarding Voyager's history is between her launcing (this could include shakedown cruises and what not although it isn't clear as to whether Janeway was in command at this point) and her arrival at DS9. It is likely that Janeway got to the penal planet where she first met Tom Paris aboard Voyager on her way to DS9. So while it is possible that Tuvok served with her for a time on Voyager, it wasn't for very long since he had to go infiltrate the Maquis. He has served under her on other ships before though. The Billings was her first command (this could've been the science ship mentioned in Mosaic). She served about the Al-Batani but did not command her. I'm guessing there was at least one other Janeway command between the Billings and Voyager since the Billings is called her first command and not her previous command.
Tuvok is over 100 years old. Old enough that he wouldn't survive the trip home should it have taken the crew as long as they originally thought.

Was the settlement on Earth? I guess I always thought that the colony was called the New Zealand penal colony but that it was on some other class M planet. I really never thought about having a penal colony on Earth. I'll have to rewatch the ep and see if there are any distinctive land masses shown that would indicate it is Earth.
