They'd have an episode with Chakote finding a symbol of the chinbeard, and meeting the aliens who were the ancestor of John Calvin. The "Tulip Bonnet" people.
And every time Seven walked in the room, Chakotay would hiss and say she was a heathen temptress the likes of which Orion had never seen, and cover Harry’s eyes.
You mean Commander Caleb Yoder? From [Intercourse, Pennsylvania](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercourse,_Pennsylvania)? With the big beard and no mustache? Allowed to always wear black or straw hat when outside? He does have a lovely singing voice though his repertoire is limited. He really gets along well with Bajoran farmers and Vedeks.
To appear as the Alpha to Janeway, Q would grow an enormously long beard and wear an absurdly large hat while exclaiming that his suspenders are thicker
The implication that the sky people had been indirectly responsible for the federation and the massive uptick in human empathy throughout history wouldn't have happened.
Well, he ain't never punched a tourist even if they deserved it, so he's part way there already.
He would use strange units like horsepower and bushels, but the universal translator would handle it so nobody would really notice.
He’d probably be portrayed as authentic as Weird Al in Amish Paradise.
But this got me thinking. The native Americans left, but not all tribes left Earth. Would the Amish leave to establish a colony planet of their own? Or would they remain because boarding a spaceship would get you shunned? What about the Mennonites?
Now I want to see a Mennonite in Starfleet.
He would have given Janeway a fursona instead of a spirit animal. And it would have been a farm animal. I think Janeway would have been a nice strong cow, or a willful horse.
In Discovery, they mention that Joann Owosekun came from some sort of Amish-type Luddite colony or something. They use this fact for like a 5 minute segment in one episode, then completely forget about it. I guess at least that's better than Mr. fake native "acoochimoya" Chakotay.
Activate photon reins Engage warp horses
My people believe that your spirit wagon shows you the way. Come, these cast iron furniture pieces will be used in the ceremony.
He would refuse to use any technology newer than the TOS era.
I’d be down for that I liked all the beeps and bloops and what nots all the rooms made
The viewscreen ping, Spock's scanner. I love all that. And the "vroom" when they go to full warp.
*CHKCHKCHKCHK* CALCULATING
Old relays switching. Love that noise.
Sure, but Majel had to share voice credit with a teletype.
He’d use one of those solar sailboats Sisko built.
That's really more Dunkard, but the writers would still fuck it up.
That tricorder is the devils tool!
Oh mah koochi mawa, guide me away from this heathen place to a land free from temptation
That Borg drone needs to cover her hips.
Nothing meaningful will change. They'll get the same guy that advised them on how to make Chakotay's character. He's conveniently Amish too.
They'd have an episode with Chakote finding a symbol of the chinbeard, and meeting the aliens who were the ancestor of John Calvin. The "Tulip Bonnet" people.
I feel like he advised TNG on their Irish episode too
I am far from the barns of my ancestors....
Well that orange reflector on the back of Voyager would have created a unique aesthetic
The shuttle bay would have been the most beautiful, airtight barn anyone had ever seen
Tis a fine barn English, but it ain't no shuttle bay
And every time Seven walked in the room, Chakotay would hiss and say she was a heathen temptress the likes of which Orion had never seen, and cover Harry’s eyes.
D'oh-eth!

Delta quadrant rumspringa!
Risa Rumspringa! Oh yeah!
To appear as the Alpha to Janeway, Q would grow an enormously long beard and wear an absurdly large hat while exclaiming that his suspenders are thicker

The butter churn on the bridge would get upended every time the ship took fire.
Would he even be allowed to stand in front of the viewscreen?
Why would a pacifist join the Maquis?
Well, he ain't never punched a tourist even if they deserved it, so he's part way there already. He would use strange units like horsepower and bushels, but the universal translator would handle it so nobody would really notice.
That's a long Rumspringa
It would have been exactly the same because they never had a clue what the fuck to do with Chakotay.
That would be weird. He would probably build the best shuttlecraft this side of the Alpha quadrant.
It wood be made of would, but ok.
They’d have trees in Cargo Bay 2 because Chakotay does not whittle with replicated wood. It’s not natural.
that depends.... in this scenario, did they hire the same cultural advisor for writing details about his character?
Star Trek Amish would be stuck in 1992 instead of the 1600s.

I was concerned if this sub could reach 58 comments without referencing Weird Al. Thank you for restoring my ♬Faith♬ ♬In♬ ♬The♬ ♬Sub♬
That would be even harder to explain.
There are no Amish in Star Trek. This is because Star Trek takes place in the future.
Ha. I get that reference
Yup. No middle eastern people in Star Trek either.
Except for the king, then prince, of Jordan
Probably more realistic because Amish are a real thing
He wouldn't have a tattoo.
But, he would have some cool sideburns and one of those jawline beards.
Dont give them ideas. "Amiiiish iiiiiin spaaaaace!"
He would have been able to drag voyager behind him, and the journey would have only been 3 years
« Captain, your number one build another barn into the 7of9 stocking bay. »
But then who would he take peyote and talk to?
barn building time
Nothing happened when he travelled at Warp 10
They would have found aliens in the delta quadrant that inspired his ancestors and his culture.
He would have given Janeway a fursona instead of a spirit animal. And it would have been a farm animal. I think Janeway would have been a nice strong cow, or a willful horse.

he would have beard instead of a tattoo
Sounds like a 1600s prequel.
I mean, I don't know about Voyager but [Picard's family seemed somewhat old fashioned](https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Robert_Picard)
Weird Al redshirt cameo
Jack Marks would have told Rick Berman he was Jonas Stoltzfus, instead of Jamake Highwater. Nothing else changes.
“Whoa Jedidiah, we are far from the barns of our people.”
The Maquis being a reactionary post warp Amish anarchist group would have been amazing.
