Bloomington countryside

A road outside of Bloomington

Bloomington was a town in the state of Indiana, USA on the North America continent on Earth.

In 2000, Henry Janeway went to Bloomington when he needed supplies, because the local stores in Portage Creek were boycotting him in response to his resistance against the Millennium Gate. (VOY: "11:59")

Kathryn Janeway was born and raised in Bloomington and promised to take Seven of Nine to it when they returned to Earth. She felt that the closer USS Voyager came to Earth the closer she came to Bloomington. Seven said it seemed to be a "pleasant" environment. (VOY: "Imperfection")

Janeway's birthtown is an homage to Star Trek: Voyager co-creator Jeri Taylor, also born there, and an alumna of Indiana University Bloomington.
In 2019, a group of fans expressed interest in having a statue of Janeway erected in Bloomington, [1] which was later commissioned and placed on 24 October 2020. [2]
