The Equinox's rather blatantly named Captain Ransom is more than willing to torture and murder aliens in a desperate attempt to get his crew home - and he's willing to destroy Voyager if they interfere, too. Except the Equinox is demonstrably worse than Voyager in every sense of the word: it's an even smaller and more heavily damaged ship, run by a more desperate crew who espouse none of Captain Janeway's high-minded devotion to the Prime Directive. The USS Equinox is a Federation starship thrown across the galaxy in the same accident that stranded Voyager.
