with Locarno, i think the issue is thatthey wanted the Voyager character to have more Starfleet experience than Locarno would have, being un ungraduated fourth year cadet. If they had had the foresight to make him a lieutenant who was a command cadet (as Lt. Saavik was in TWOK) then they could have postulated that he had had some ship experience but had still been a fuckup... (of course this gets more convoluted later when Nog had more combat experience as a third year cadet than most of Starfleet, and was graduated early)
basically, they didnt think they could use Locarno without an elaborate backstory of him having more experience in the fleet than the original character had, hence Tom Paris.

See his cool website for more details, cool models and because it's cool, it has NO CAT MEN in pink spacesuits. None.

It means cats are colorbilnd and the Kzin were such losers that no one told them their spacesuits were pink.

The Kzinti are from the group of Cat's that left Red Dwarf that DIDN'T crash into an asteroid because they thought Lister's laundry list was a secret code to the promised land of Fushu.

There seem to be several older, possibly banned or unwelcome Flarites that were banished to the Phantom Zone or something and you would'nt want to be confused with them now would you General Zod...er..."Griffworks".

There is no such cabal of banned old guard. We are not Soviet Russia. No one is trying to assasinate me with an ice pick. Uh, anyway, Jeff Raven is not only not at all banned or unwelcome, but is in fact a frequent reader, if our recent visitor bar is any indication, and started a thread in Enterprise not two weeks ago.
