In the Voyager episode "Course: Oblivion", the duplicate Voyager that was created on the "demon class" planet made it to the same location as the actual Voyager which (a few episodes earlier) traveled 20,000 light years with the help of a Borg transwarp coil?
It would seem that only one of the ships would have gotten the transwarp coil since that happened well after the crew was "cloned".
How the heck did the duplicate Voyager make it that far in the same amount of time without the coil?
Answer
The episode Course: Oblivion takes place in stardate 52586.3:
"Captain's log, stardate 52586.3. We've had a lot to celebrate lately – Tom and B'Elanna's wedding, Ensign Harper's new baby, and the continued health of our enhanced warp drive, which has taken us within striking distance of home."
The episode Dark Frontier, where the Transwarp coil was acquired, takes place in 52619.2:
"Captain's Log, Stardate 52619.2. We got another 20,000 light years out of the transwarp coil before it gave out. I figure we're a good fifteen years closer to home."
So actually, the real Voyager travelled the extra 20,000 light years after the events in Course: Oblivion.
Interestingly though, both production and release order were first Dark Frontier and then Course: Oblivion.
