The Tom Paris character, was originally conceived of in TNG's "First Duty" episode, with the character of Nick Locarno (also played by Robert Duncan McNeill). Similar backstory and character traits. Paris was simply created to avoid having to pay royalties to the writers of the TNG episode.

ChatGPT re: Ocampa underground: "The Ocampan medical area in the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Caretaker" was filmed at the Donald C. Tillman Water Reclamation Plant in Van Nuys, California. This facility's futuristic architecture and clean, modern design were repurposed to depict the advanced yet sterile medical environment of the Ocampan settlement. The Tillman Plant has been used in various productions for its unique, science-fiction-friendly aesthetic."
