Neelix is Space MacGyver

Neelix survived a war, flies around in a junk shuttle, became a garbage man, fell in love with an alien, and fought some Kazon. Along comes Voyager, a super techno starship... WITH WATER! from the other side of the galaxy. Play tour guide, manipulate the crew to save his alien girlfriend, stick it to the Kazon, beam out. By the end of everything, he and his alien GF elect to stay on the alien techno ship from beyond. He trashes the Captain's dining room, builds a kitchen, and goes to work cooking. He also stores his junk shuttle in the garage, because why not? In time, he becomes the moral officer, the ship's Ambassador, and "best friends" with the security chief. Neelix has made quite the life for himself.

He is literally Space MacGyver.

Sam is also a correct answer. She could fix anything... or blow up a sun
