Emergency Command Hologram

The Emergency Command Hologram was originally an improvement made by The Doctor (EMH) aboard Voyager.   After Captain Janeway and most of the crew were incapacitated, the Doctor found himself alone on the ship and unable to use the ship itself to save the crew.   After proving himself a capable tactician, Janeway authorized the additional programming.
When activated, the EMH's uniform would shift colors from Medical Blue to Command Red, and Captain's pips would appear.   Command-level authorization would be transferred to the ECH's control, and all ship systems and weapons would be set to automated voice controls as needed.
The ECH program was used on multiple occasions during Voyager's trip home.   However, after reviewing Voyager's logs, Starfleet Command decided that the potential benefits of the ECH did not overcome the inherent policy breech in allowing any officer, holographic or organic, to bypass the chain of command. Due to this controversy, the ECH program was cancelled.
