* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: ''Voyager'' straight-up '''invades''' the territory of a civilization who have made it abundantly clear they want nothing to do with outsiders, in the process killing a number of them for (from the Swarm's point of view) defending themselves. Except for Tuvok, who points out that doing so violates Starfleet protocol (and is visibly uncomfortable when they engage them in battle), nobody has any problem with this. Janeway, previously portrayed as a stickler for the rules, calmly declares that they're not going to be delayed by "a bunch of bullies", as if that somehow justifies their actions.
