star trek voyager specifications

The USS Voyager NCC-74656 was one of the four of its kind made with newly advanced technology that makes it so advanced from the other previous Starships. Its length measures 344 metres and its width is 130 metres wide. The Voyager is an Intrepid-class Starship. This ship can hold two hundred crew members�though only one hundred and fifty four crew members were recruited when it was first sent into the Badlands to find the Maquis. The crew complement however, was somewhat reduced throughout its journey in the Delta Quadrant due to frequent encounters with hostile aliens or anomalies. To compensate, new recruits were added to the positions needing fulfilling.

There are fifteen decks on the Voyager�Deck One being the top of the saucer and Deck Fifteen being the lowest deck. The Bridge, the center of all operations, is on Deck One. The main source of power to the ship's systems is located on Decks Ten and Eleven being Main Engineering.

Intrepid-class ships are new classes of Starships with advanced technology. It costs relatively less than a Galaxy-class ship. It was built to defend against the Cardassians, Maquis, and the Borg, where the starship is highly maneuverable and was designed for tactical missions.

Some of its features are its bioneural gel packs, systems to increase isolinear processors, variable geometry warp nacelles which allows high-warp flight, and an Emergency Medical Hologram which is also installed into this class to handle health of the crew in emergency situations when the resident Doctor is not available. The EMH has become the ship's main medical personnel when the Voyager's original doctor was killed in action during their encounter with the Caretaker when they first entered the Delta Quadrant.

One feature that other Intrepid-class ships do not have is the (ten times more accurate) advanced Astrometrics Laboratory. The technological advancement to the ship with Borg technology was added during the alliance between the Borg and the crew of Voyager in 2374, stardate 51003.7.

As advanced as the intrepid-class is there are two minor offsets with the ships: they are not designed for families and the replicators are not the most reliable.

But like all Starships, the Voyager includes a set of structural and operation systems�Self-destruct and warp-core ejection, escape pods, jefferies tube network, bussard ramscoops, reaction control systems, docking bays, and fluid handling systems.

The U.S.S Voyager NCC-74656 is an Intrepid-class starship. As is the case with all Starfleet ships, the bridge is on Deck 1, at the top of the command saucer. On the bridge, the captain and her senior officers acquire instrument and sensor data, control command functions, access the main computer, analyze situations, and take any action that seems proper. The bridge is the brain of the ship.

The bridge area is decorated in tones of silver, gray, and chrome. Control surfaces are black, with the usual array of colored pads arranged into a keyboard. Because the sophisticated onboard computer is capable of determining and executing all routine operations, trained crew members are able to control the ship with a minimum of keystrokes. When it is necessary to enter directional information, one may use the circular 'joystick' pad.

Designing the Starship Voyager

Development of the fourth Star Trek series started in the middle of 1993, during the last season of The Next Generation and the second season of Deep Space Nine . Executive Producer Jeri Taylor decided as early as August that the new ship should be sleeker and smaller than the Enterprise -D.

Rick Sternbach, who was then working as an illustrator and tech consultant on The Next Generation , was brought on board the following month. He wasted no time getting the design process started.

It was the first lead ship Sternbach designed. He had been responsible for various alien ships and shuttlecraft on The Next Generation , including the runabout, but his predecessor, Andrew Probert, had created the Enterprise -D.

Sternbach’s early sketches of Voyager show a streamlined vessel with a dart-like primary hull and a flattened, elongated engineering section, sporting swept-back runabout-like warp pylons.

Pieces were added and subtracted and hull contours, both gently curved and angular, were explored in perspective over the course of weeks and months. Hull cross sections were drawn in blue pencil to check internal deck heights, total number of decks and overall ship length. Sternbach prepared comparisons with familiar Starfleet vessels to help the producers decide.

They added to his challenge by deciding Voyager should be able to land on a planetary surface. That meant the ship needed deployable landing gear.

By the spring of 1994, something resembling the Voyager we know had emerged. The slightly angular dart front had been smoothed off and nestled into the engineering section — still assuming a separation capability — and sweeping pylons ended in a set of long nacelles. The nacelles had doors to open up the warp coils for some kind of new energy jump. Impulse thrusters were buried underneath, similar to the runabout, and a large triangular wedge sat atop the ship, possibly acting as a scout craft or long-range sensor array.

Notable details included a large forward sensor cutout and a stepped engineering hull that supported a ring of large cargo bays and impulse engines. The former would stay, the latter was eliminated.

Fast-looking ship

This was a fast-looking ship, with a hint of solid engine hardware showing on the outside.

When the producers signed off, Sternbach proceeded to the initial blueprint and study-model stages. He scaled up a top plan view of the ship to a length of 48 inches, the presumed size of the motion-control model. From this, he derived bottom, side, fore and aft views. The side elevation and resulting cutaway suggested that the ship would be about 1,000 feet long, the same size as Kirk’s Enterprise .

Following the Starfleet tradition, Sternbach reserved space for the bridge on Deck 1 and a variety of placeholder windows on the hull, which would be built into standing sets.

Windows are an important design factor, because of the coordination needed between the studio and outside model makers for continuity between the exterior and interior of the ship. Since Voyager would be smaller than the Enterprise -D, the windows would be proportionately larger and more visible on the television screen. That made it even more important that they matched the sets.

Just as Sternbach was about to produce a final set of blueprints for the model makers (he had even produced a small mock-up model himself), Taylor came back and asked if he could not make Voyager a little curvier after all.

Saucer separation was no longer necessary. This allowed Sternbach to integrate the primary and secondary hulls more smoothly.

Sternbach continued to play with the nacelle placement. Should they be on pylons, like on the Enterprise -D? Or downturned, like a runabout? Early in July, the final nacelle movements were completed with the 45-degree wing-up angle being approved by the producers.

Building the miniature

Sternbach drew up five orthographic projections of the final version: top, bottom, starboard, forward and aft elevations. These went to the model builders in August: Tony Meininger’s Brazil Fabrication. They also received detailed sketches from Sternbach as to intended function, color or whether a lighting effect was required.

Two months later, Meininger delivered the model to Image G for shooting, although some modifications and detailing continued until December.

Voyager came on the air at a time when huge advancements were being made in computer-generated imagery (CGI). Over the course of the first few seasons, models were phased out and digitally-created starships entered service. By Season 4, in 1997, Meininger’s studio model had become obsolete. It was sold off at auction in 2006 to an Englishman for $110,000.

Stock footage of the model continued to be used. You can tell the two versions apart from the windows underneath the shuttlebay. The windows are lighted in the CGI model. There was no room to install electrical wiring in the physical miniature, who whenever those windows are dark, you know you’re looking at the real thing.

Thank you for this cool online resource! The Eaglemoss Designing Starships volumes 1 and 2 have 50-75 percent of the drawings featured on the site, when the topics align, but it’s that last 25-50 percent that’s really special. Seeing rough versions, or extra angles, or so forth, is very rewarding for me. I understand that there’s only so much space in a paper book, but that’s what makes the digital delivery medium interesting! Plus, you have lots of concept art for sets, while the hardback collections I have focus almost entirely on the ship models. Any set details are incidental, when they were referenced in the ship blueprints (like some of the deck detailing on the Voyager cutaways here).

I have been a fan of science fiction for more than thirty years, since my parents introduced me to Star Wars some time in 1991. Since then, I’ve become obsessed to varying degrees with many shows including Star Trek , Babylon 5 , Battlestar Galactica , The Expanse , and many others. Generally, I don’t buy into most of the incessant crossover debates that frequently rage on certain sci-fi message boards. Rather than waste time proving that the Imperial Star Destroyer can blast Kirk’s Enterprise into molten slag, I prefer to enjoy each story based on the merits of its own setting and plot. Since the entire technological background is fictional anyway, the writers can simply make up any quasi-scientific principles that they wish for the sake of the plot.

Although I’m not that interested in the technological comparisons between series, I’ve occasionally wondered about how a certain starship would compare in size to those of another series. When Farscape ’s John Crichton first saw Moya , he exclaimed, “That’s big.... really big.” The question is, just how big is “big”? So I started to gather a list of the sizes of various science fiction ships. There are plenty of fans out there who have worked up all kinds of comparison charts on their own. But the one thing that very few of those charts has ever done is to include non-canon fan designs alongside the original canon starships. I decided to create one all-encompassing chart that would include many (if not quite all) of the Star Trek ships that are out there. The charts available below include those created by the Advanced Starship Design Bureau , Masao Okazaki at the Starfleet Museum , and Star Trek: Renaissance , the fan fiction series of which I was once a part.

I originally started these charts as a side project , to fulfill my own curiosity for how the ships stacked up. But they’ve become one of the most popular resources on Star Trek Minutiae, and I’ve even found copies of them floating around elsewhere on the web. So, here’s the original cross-sci-fi starship reference!

Specifications of Starship Voyager:

The USS Voyager NCC-74656 was one of the four of its kind made with newly advanced technology that makes it so advanced from the other previous Starships. Its length measures 344 metres and its width is 130 metres wide. The Voyager is an Intrepid-class Starship. This ship can hold two hundred crew members—though only one hundred and fifty four crew members were recruited when it was first sent into the Badlands to find the Maquis. The crew complement however, was somewhat reduced throughout its journey in the Delta Quadrant due to frequent encounters with hostile aliens or anomalies. To compensate, new recruits were added to the positions needing fulfilling.

There are fifteen decks on the Voyager—Deck One being the top of the saucer and Deck Fifteen being the lowest deck. The Bridge, the center of all operations, is on Deck One. The main source of power to the ship’s systems is located on Decks Ten and Eleven being Main Engineering.

Intrepid-class ships are new classes of Starships with advanced technology. It costs relatively less than a Galaxy-class ship. It was built to defend against the Cardassians, Maquis, and the Borg, where the starship is highly maneuverable and was designed for tactical missions.

As advanced as the intrepid-class is there are two minor offsets with the ships: they are not designed for families and the replicators are not the most reliable.

But like all Starships, the Voyager includes a set of structural and operation systems—Self-destruct and warp-core ejection, escape pods, jefferies tube network, bussard ramscoops, reaction control systems, docking bays, and fluid handling systems.

The U.S.S Voyager NCC-74656 is an Intrepid-class starship. As is the case with all Starfleet ships, the bridge is on Deck 1, at the top of the command saucer. On the bridge, the captain and her senior officers acquire instrument and sensor data, control command functions, access the main computer, analyze situations, and take any action that seems proper. The bridge is the brain of the ship.

The bridge area is decorated in tones of silver, gray, and chrome. Control surfaces are black, with the usual array of colored pads arranged into a keyboard. Because the sophisticated onboard computer is capable of determining and executing all routine operations, trained crew members are able to control the ship with a minimum of keystrokes. When it is necessary to enter directional information, one may use the circular ‘joystick’ pad.

Command center

Conn positie.

The operations station, or ops, is behind the command area and to its left. Ops reads sensors, accesses the ship’s library, allocates ship’s power and computer time, and coordinates the activities of the ship’s departments. On Intrepid-class ships, conn and ops are located in different areas of the bridge; on most Starfleet vessels, these two stations operate as a pair side by side, directly in front of the command area.

Tactical Station

The tactical station is to the right of the command area. Lt Commander Tuvok, the tacitical officer, is responsible for all ship’s security, weapons, offensive and defensive maneuvers. On Galaxy-class starships, the tactical officer stands at the tactical rail directly behind the captain, but on Voyager this duty station is much more self-contained and has the added benefit of a seat-no doubt welcome addition to the bridge design and layout.

De perimeter stations

Starting at the viewscreen and moving clockwise around the perimeter of the bridge, the first station is engineering. From here, Lt. B’Elanna Torres, Voyager’s Chief Engineer, may monitor and control many of ship’s engineering functions. The presence of the chief engineer on the bridge may be necessary during delicate combat, technical, or diplomatic situations. As on other ships, all engineering functions can be controlled from the bridge if necessary, ensuring that Main Engineering is not placed at any disadvantage when the chief engineer’s presence is required on the bridge.Next to the engineering station is a red alert flasher on the wall, followed by the door to the captain’s ready room. Continuing clockwise, one comes to the tactical station, a self contained area in which a chair is contained behind a low desk unit, the top of which is covered with consoles, as is the wall behind. The chair, sandwiched between the wall and the desk, can face in either direction, giving a clear line of sight to the viewscreen when necessary.

Moving on from tactical, one climbs three small steps to come to the raised area behind the command chairs. Just to the left of tactical, at the top of the steps, is the door to the turbolift. This gives access between the bridge and the rest of the ship.

Along the entire back wall of the bridge, behind the command area, are a number of consoles, schematics and display screens, split into three distinct areas. The middle area of the three is taken up by a large schematic of the ship, and is also the bridge’s secondary engineering station. The schematic is flanked by two mission ops consoles, instruments, and readouts. There are no chairs at these consoles, and duty officers working here are required to stand.

From the center of the schematic, the left hand side of the bridge is virtually a mirror image of the right. The layout is identical, but the function of some of the stations varies. Across the room from tactical is the ops station, which again is self contained and has its own chair. On Voyager, this station is usually manned by Ensign Harry Kim. From ops, the steps move down again to the lower front level of the bridge, leading to the door to the briefing room, where the command crew meets for important discussions and to make decisions. On the wall next to this door is another Red Alert flasher, and, finally a science station. This science station is not always manned and is primarily used when ops needs the support of supplementary sensor readings or library research. Following the entire perimeter of the bridge, this brings one back to the main viewscreen

Briefing Room

The Briefing Room is where Captain Kathryn Janeway gathers her senior crew to discuss about ship’s missions, important matters, and any other issues needing to be discussed. It is a place where the captain can give out orders to her senior crew to give out to their people in their department. The Briefing Room is also used to inform the crew of any new information that has come in during a mission. Meetings held here are also not just to give out orders or give out new information by the captain but to also get some feedback on the current mission from each department and to report anything that has not been reported to the captain yet. Here the captain and the senior crew gather knowledge. Usually the duration of these meetings in the Briefing Room aren’t long.

– Captain Janeway’s quarter – VIP and other crew members quarters – Photon TorpedoLaunchers System

– Transporter Room: It has a 2 personnel transporter and 2 cargo transporters. There is also four small emergency evacuation Transporters available for one way transport of the ship only. – Phaser Maintenance – Sensor Gear – Escape Pod Access

– Security Personnel’s quarters are located here when they were moved from Deck 9 an infection in the gel pack, needing Deck 9 to be shutdown. – Auxiliary Computer Core – Upper Cargo Bays 1 & 2 – Laboratories – Thruster Access – Escape Pod Access – Deuterium Tankage – Warp Engine Core Injector Access – Hargrove’s and Lieutenant Lota’s quarters.

Inside the U.S.S. Equinox NCC-72381

The journey aboard the U.S.S. Equinox put the limits of Federation ideology to the test

startrek.com

When there is no place like home, your rules and principles cannot help, and it feels like the entire quadrant is against you, how far would you go to get back? The journey aboard the U.S.S. Equinox put the limits of Federation ideology to the test.

Equinox Examination

The U.S.S. Equinox NCC-72381 was a top-of-the-line Nova-class science vessel. The Nova-class replaced the aging Oberth-class starship used for the past century. At a length of around 222 meters long, 8 decks, and a crew of 78, the ship was relatively small compared to other ships of the time.

It had a top speed of warp 8, which was efficient for general scientific missions. Two shuttlecraft and an optional “wave rider” shuttle, located on the bottom of the “saucer” section, made for a decent auxiliary craft complement. Armaments included 11 Type X phaser arrays and 3 photon torpedo launchers, giving the ship the ability to defend itself decently during its voyages.

The Journey Begins

The Equinox was launched in the early 2370’s under the command of Captain Rudolph “Rudy” Ransom. Ransom was more of a scientist than a command officer. Promoted to captain after making contact with the previously thought-to-be-extinct Yridians, Ransom was an accomplished exobiologist. He preferred to elude any adversaries he came across, rather than face them in direct combat.

The Journey Takes a Wrong Turn

In early 2371, one of the most-unsettling things that could happen to a starship crew befell the Equinox . A non-humanoid entity called the “Caretaker” was abducting ships from throughout the galaxy to attempt to find a compatible mate. He was responsible for destroying the environment of a planet called Ocampa, deep in the Delta Quadrant, and nearly killing all life there. He managed to save some of the humanoid population and placed them in underground caverns. The Caretaker was nearing the end of his life when he pulled the Equinox 70,000 light years across the galaxy.

After finding none of the Equinox crew were compatible, the Caretaker let the ship go, but did not return them to the Alpha Quadrant. Instead, the ship had to find its own way back. In the first week of their exile, the ship encountered the Krowtonan Guard. This hostile species, claiming the Equinox had violated their territory, killed nearly half of the crew. Ransom decided continue on.

The Equinox crew trekked on with a once state-of-the-art vessel, never having the chance to repair it to its full effectiveness. They encountered many more belligerent species, losing even more crew and morale. The hope of seeking out new life and new civilizations probably seemed more like a good epitaph than a mission. On occasion, the ship encountered a few friendly species and even a wormhole, which took a leg off their journey. One such species, called the Ankari, would turn them on to a dubious hope they desperately needed.

Ransom’s Dilemma

Equinox made it to the Ankari home world after a bout of prolonged suffering for the crew. They had not eaten in 16 days and the ship was severely damaged. The Ankari assisted with food and medical supplies, and upon the conclusion of the visit, the Ankari offered a blessing from their “Spirits of Good Fortune.” Captain Ransom and his officers scanned the “spirits,” only to discover they were a type of nucleogenic lifeform. Through trade, they were able to acquire one of the spirit summoning devices and opened the portal to the aliens' realm.

Unfortunately, in the attempt to study one of the lifeforms, the crew accidentally killed one of the creatures. Further scanning revealed that the compounds the creature consisted of could enhance the ship’s warp drive significantly. They traveled 10,000 light years in two weeks. The Federation principles now stood on the fence. With half the crew dead, a broken ship, and barely enough food to survive, Captain Ransom, representing the morals and ideals so highly regarded, had to make a decision: Their lives or those of an unknown alien species. Ransom chose in favor of his crew.

The Equinox crew would continue to abduct and utilize the nucleogenic lifeforms for their enhanced warp drive. The aliens did not take too kindly to this. They began to attack the Equinox repeatedly. Their effects on human tissue were devastating. Fortuitously for the Equinox, during one of these attacks, their distress call was received by the U.S.S. Voyager , also stranded in the Delta Quadrant. Voyager rescued the ship by extending its fully operational shields around the Equinox , protecting them from further alien portal attacks.

The Equinox Sunset

The two crews were excited at first to reunite. However, Ransom was concerned that were Captain Janeway to discover the truth about their modified engines, she would interfere. He attempted to hide the evidence, but through the investigation of the Voyager crew and the relative invincibility of the Voyager ’s EMH doctor, all was revealed.

Janeway detained the Equinox crew but, they were able to escape with the help of the Equinox's EMH doctor, who had been corrupted by the removal of its ethical subroutines. Ransom and his crew escaped, stealing the vital new shielding device used to protect both ships from the portal aliens.

Voyager would eventually catch up to the Equinox and end its long journey with torpedoes. Ransom died onboard, attempting to save Voyager and the remaining crew from the Equinox ’s warp core breach. He regretted some of his methods, but he still cared about getting his crew home.

The Next Nova

In a possible future, the Nova-class would eventually receive a refit in the late 24th or early 25th century. The U.S.S. Rhode Island , under the command of the finally-promoted Captain Harry Kim, caught up with Admiral Janeway in 2404 to prevent her from going back in time 26 years to assist her earlier self and U.S.S. Voyager in returning to the Alpha Quadrant much earlier than the Admiral’s history had unfolded.

8 Alpha Quadrant Things Star Trek: Voyager Found In Delta Quadrant

• Star Trek: Voyager finds familiar things from the Alpha Quadrant in the Delta Quadrant, sparking important questions and connections.
• Encounter with Ferengi negotiators leads Voyager crew to stop their interference in a pre-warp civilization for profits.
• Janeway and crew discover humans abducted by aliens in the 1930s living in the Delta Quadrant, including Amelia Earhart.

For a show with the conceit of being so far from home, Star Trek: Voyager found a surprising number of things in the Delta Quadrant that originated in the Alpha Quadrant, including several from Earth itself. The USS Voyager, commanded by Captain Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew), and Commander Chakotay's (Robert Beltran) Maquis raider Val Jean were both brought to the Delta Quadrant in 2371 by the Caretaker (Basil Langton). After Janeway destroyed the Caretaker's array to save the Ocampa , Voyager and the Val Jean were left without a ticket back to the Alpha Quadrant, and banded together to make the long journey.

Finding something familiar in an otherwise totally alien corner of the galaxy brought a sense of familiarity to the USS Voyager crew and viewers at home alike, but the presence of something from the Alpha Quadrant in the Delta Quadrant inevitably raised important questions , like how familiar people and objects traveled 70,000 light years from home in the first place, and whether the find could lead Captain Kathryn Janeway towards a quicker path home to Earth.

Star Trek: Voyagers 20 Best Episodes Ranked

A pair of ferengi negotiators, arridor and kol, star trek: voyager season 3, episode 5 "false profits".

The USS Voyager encounters a pair of Ferengi negotiators, Arridor (Dan Shor) and Kol (Leslie Jordan), who claim to be the prophesied Great Sages of the Takarians, a society with Bronze Age level technology. The Ferengi have no Prime Directive to deter them from interfering with the Takarians' development , so they're performing "miracles" with a standard replicator to reap the monetary benefits of the Takarians' worship. Voyager's crew know the Ferengi reputation well enough to know they're no Sages, so they must figure out how to put a stop to Arridor and Kol's grift.

"False Profits" serves as a Star Trek sequel episode to Star Trek: The Next Generation season 3, episode 8 "The Price", as Voyager catches up with Arridor and Kol (formerly played by J. R. Quinonez) seven years after their Delta Quadrant arrival. The Ferengi took a test flight through the supposedly stable wormhole near Barzan II, which was supposed to emerge in the Gamma Quadrant, but instead stranded the Ferengi in the Delta Quadrant, where they made the best of their situation as only Ferengi can.

Star Trek: Voyager Season 3, Episode 23 "Distant Origin"

"Distant Origin" opens on Forra Gegen (Henry Woronicz), a scientist who discovers that his people, the Voth, share certain genetic similarities with the humans aboard the USS Voyager. While this confirms Gegen's theory that the Voth are the descendants of a species brought to their homeworld millions of years ago , religious leader Minister Odala (Concetta Tomei) refuses to accept the truth. Even with Commander Chakotay present as a living specimen of humanity, Odala pushes Gegen to recant, because Gegen's theory goes against the Voth Doctrine that keeps Odala in power.

After meeting Gegen's assistant, Tova Veer (Christopher Liam Moore), Janeway and the Doctor use the holodeck as a research guide to extrapolate how hadrosaurs might look in the 24th century if they'd been able to evolve into a humanoid form with comparable intelligence. The result resembles Veer, so Janeway and the Doctor conclude, like Gegen, that the Voth evolved from hadrosaurs into a highly advanced species on Earth , then fled to the Delta Quadrant in spacefaring vessels instead of being wiped out with the other dinosaurs.

The Friendship One Probe

Star trek: voyager season 7, episode 21 "friendship one".

By Star Trek: Voyager season 7 , the USS Voyager is in regular contact with Starfleet Command, and Starfleet gives Voyager a mission to retrieve a 21st-century Earth probe, Friendship One . The probe proves difficult to find, but once discovered on an alien planet suffering devastating climate collapse, the implications of Friendship One's launch become clear. Besides the irreversible damage to the planet's climate, the inhabitants are all suffering from radiation sickness, and bear understandable hostility towards Earth, because the aliens believe humans orchestrated their destruction with the Friendship One probe.

The United Earth Space Probe Agency was one of the early names for the organization the USS Enterprise belongs to in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode, "Charlie X".

Friendship One was launched in 2067 by the United Earth Space Probe Agency with the intention of making friends with whomever found it, as the name implies. Although Friendship One, the 400-year-old Earth probe, traveled for centuries carrying messages of peace, musical recordings, and ways to translate languages, the people who discovered Friendship One in the Delta Quadrant took a greater interest in the antimatter it used to travel across space. Without the proper knowledge of its use, antimatter proved devastating to the planet and its people, resulting in death and disease for generations.

Dreadnought, a Cardassian Missile

Star trek: voyager season 2, episode 17 "dreadnought".

The USS Voyager discovers a dangerously powerful, self-guided Cardassian missile in the Delta Quadrant, which Lt. B'Elanna Torres (Roxann Dawson) recognizes as one nicknamed "Dreadnought" . When B'Elanna was with the Maquis, Torres had actually reprogrammed the missile herself, with the intention of turning the Cardassians' own weapon against them. Without a Cardassian target in sight, the artificially intelligent Cardassian Dreadnought targets a heavily-populated Class-M planet , Rakosa V. B'Elanna determines she must be the one to keep Dreadnought from hurting anyone else, and boards the missile to convince it to stand down.

While no concrete reason is given for exactly how the Dreadnought wound up in the Delta Quadrant, its last known location in the Alpha Quadrant was the Badlands, the same rough patch of space where Voyager and the Val Jean, Chakotay's Maquis raider, fatefully met. Because of this, Torres theorizes that Dreadnought arrived in the Delta Quadrant the same way that Voyager and the Val Jean did , courtesy of the Caretaker.

Star Trek: Voyagers BElanna Is More Klingon Than TNGs Worf Ever Was

A klingon d-7 class cruiser, complete with klingons, star trek: voyager, season 7, episode 14 "prophecy".

The USS Voyager certainly never expected to find a Klingon ship in the Delta Quadrant, but more surprising is the fact that the crew of the Klingon D-7 Class Cruiser believes their savior, the prophesied kuvah'magh, is aboard Voyager . Janeway assures the Klingon captain, Kohlar (Wren T. Brown), that the Federation and Klingon Empire have been allies for the past 80 years, and offers Voyager's own half-Klingon, Lt. B'Elanna Torres, as proof their societies are working together now. The kuvah'magh is Torres' unborn daughter, who does save the Klingons, but not the way they expected.

Centuries ago, Kohlar's great-grandfather set off on a quest to find the kuvah'magh, and the Klingon D-7 Cruiser became a generation ship that is now crewed by the descendants of its original crew . The quest begun by Kohlar's great-grandfather brought Kohlar and his crew to the Delta Quadrant after four generations of searching. Whether B'Elanna's child is actually the kuvah'magh or not, Kohlar desperately wants the baby to be their savior, so that his people may finally rest.

Amelia Earhart

Star trek: voyager season 2, episode 1 "the 37s".

The discovery of a 1936 Ford truck, seemingly disconnected from any parent vehicle, leads the USS Voyager to a nearby Class-L planet, where they find eight humans who have been in cryo-stasis since they were abducted by aliens in the 1930s. Among them are one of Janeway's personal heroes, legendary American aviator Amelia Earhart (Sharon Lawrence) , who disappeared without a trace while attempting to fly around the world, and Earhart's navigator, Fred Noonan (David Graf). Earhart and the other preserved humans are known by the planet's inhabitants as "The 37s", and revered as sacred.

Originally thought to be aliens, the natives of the unnamed planet are the descendants of humans. A species called the Briori abducted the natives' ancestors, along with Earhart and the other 37s, from Earth centuries earlier , and took them to the Delta Quadrant. Once held as slaves, the humans who weren't in stasis revolted to free themselves from the Briori, and developed a thriving, Earth-like civilization in the Delta Quadrant. Voyager's crew consider staying with the humans in their little slice of home, while Janeway also offers a ride back to Earth to anyone who wants it, including Amelia Earhart.

The USS Equinox

Star trek: voyager season 5, episode 26 & season 6, episode 1 "equinox".

The crew of the USS Voyager believe they're the only Starfleet vessel in the Delta Quadrant until they find the USS Equinox, five years into their journey home. Captain Rudolph Ransom (John Savage) and the Equinox crew have had a harder time in the Delta Quadrant than Voyager, with more damage, fewer starting resources, and fewer opportunities to make friends along the way. Ransom's survival tactics include sacrificing innocent nucleogenic life forms for a more efficient form of fuel, which Janeway finds hard to stomach, and decides that Ransom needs to be held accountable for defying Federation ideals, regardless of how badly the Equinox is damaged.

Although Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) suggests that the Equinox might be in the Delta Quadrant on a rescue mission to find Voyager, the USS Equinox's specs don't fit the profile of a starship that would be assigned to a long-range mission. The explanation of how the Equinox arrived in the Delta Quadrant in the first place seems fairly simple, because Captain Ransom tells Janeway that the Equinox was also abducted by the Caretaker , just like Voyager, but the Equinox has only been in the Delta Quadrant for 2 years, and Janeway destroyed the Caretaker's array 5 years earlier.

Seven of Nine

Debuts in star trek: voyager season 4, episode 1 "scorpion, part 2".

When Captain Kathryn Janeway allies with the Borg in order to secure safe passage across Borg space, Janeway refuses the cursory assimilation that the Borg want to use to communicate with Janeway and Voyager's crew, and instead requests a speaker for the Borg, citing the existence of Locutus (Patrick Stewart) as precedent. Seven of Nine , Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix 01, is selected as the Borg drone to act as liaison between the Collective and Voyager, likely because Seven of Nine had once been a member of Species 5168, like most of Voyager's crew -- in other words, human.

Voyager season 5, episodes 15 & 16, "Dark Frontier" provides even more detail of the Hansens' fateful journey.

After Seven's link with the Collective is severed, more information about Seven's human origin comes to light. In Voyager season 4, episode 6 "The Raven", when Voyager nears the Hansens' ship, the USS Raven, memories of Seven's early life surface, revealing that Seven had been six-year-old human Annika Hansen , the daughter of Magnus Hansen (Kirk Baily) and Erin Hansen (Laura Stepp), Federation scientists who were studying the Borg when they were assimilated. Voyager season 5, episodes 15 & 16, "Dark Frontier" provides even more detail of the Hansens' fateful journey, showing the Raven arriving in the Delta Quadrant by following a Borg Cube through a transwarp conduit.

10 Ways USS Voyager Changed In Star Treks Delta Quadrant

Star Trek: Voyager links back to the greater Star Trek universe with people and starships from the Alpha Quadrant. Connections to the familiar were especially important early on, because Voyager 's place in the Star Trek franchise was established and aided by the legitimacy these finds offered. Later, when the USS Voyager used the Hirogen communications array to communicate with Starfleet Command, links back to the Alpha Quadrant were plentiful again, not only to prove that the USS Voyager was closer to home, but to help Star Trek: Voyager maintain connections to Star Trek and carry the franchise in its final years.

Voyager-a: every change confirmed to star trek's original.

Star Trek: Prodigy has revealed an exciting tease of the brand new USS Voyager-A, hinting at exciting new upgrades and a brand-new starship class.

• The USS Voyager-A, unveiled in Star Trek: Prodigy season 2, has undergone noticeable upgrades including increased staffing levels, advanced technology, and a larger shuttle bay.
• The Voyager-A is a Lamarr-class science vessel, honoring real-world female scientist Hedy Lamarr, in line with the legacy of Janeway as a female leader and scientist.
• While the Voyager-B and Voyager-J also feature upgrades and unique technologies, the Voyager-A stands out with its larger size and alternative warp drive.

The USS Voyager-A has been unveiled for Star Trek: Prodigy season 2, confirming one or two changes to the original starship from Star Trek: Voyager . At STLV: 57-Year Mission, the Hageman Brothers screened a clip from Prodigy 's season 2 premiere, giving convention attendees the first glimpse of the latest starship to carry the name Voyager. Voyager's return was teased in Prodigy 's season 1 finale when Admiral Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) hinted that she had a bigger and better starship in mind for use in the mission to rescue Captain Chakotay (Robert Beltran) from an alternate future.

The unveiling of the USS Voyager-A, and the return of Star Trek: Voyager 's Doctor (Robert Picardo) has made the wait for Star Trek: Prodigy 's troubled season 2 even more unbearable. Speaking at STLV: 57-Year Mission, the Hagemans seemed hopeful that Prodigy would find a new home after its cancelation by Paramount+. Until that deal is worked out, Voyager fans will have to make do with the tantalizing Star Trek: Prodigy clip (via StarTrek.com ) that reveals some subtle upgrades to the legendary starship.

Star Trek: Prodigy's Design Changes To The USS Voyager-A Explained

One of the most notable changes to the original USS Voyager is the staffing levels. When Voyager went in search of Chakotay and the crew of the Valjean, it was a new ship with various positions still to be filled. This doesn't appear to be the case with the USS Voyager-A, however, as Zero (Angus Imrie) lists off " 29 decks, 800 plus crew, two schools ", which is a substantial upgrade from its predecessor. The original Voyager had just 15 decks, a crew of 160, and no educational facilities. It's therefore a much larger starship, but appears to have retained the general look of the original Intrepid-class starship.

The Doctor teases that Star Trek: Prodigy 's new USS Voyager has been fitted " stem to stern " with technology the original ship picked up in the Delta Quadrant, " and then some ." This implies that the Voyager-A will likely be fitted with the same Quantum Slipstream drive as the USS Dauntless from Prodigy season 1. Designed by Lt. B'Elanna Torres (Roxann Dawson), the Dauntless was inspired by a ship previously encountered in the Delta Quadrant by the Voyager crew. This may also account for the Voyager-A's flashier looking deflector dish.

The USS Voyager-A also has a rectangular shuttle bay similar to the one seen on the USS Discovery. This can be seen when the new style of shuttle craft transporting the Star Trek: Prodigy cast docks with the Voyager-A. The new shuttle craft looks like a souped-up version of the Delta Flyer designed by Star Trek: Voyager 's Lt. Tom Paris (Robert Duncan McNeill). This could hint at Paris' return for Prodigy season 2, as Janeway appears to have assembled her old friends to rescue Chakotay in Prodigy season 2.

The USS Voyager-A Is A Lamarr Class Science Ship

The USS Voyager NCC-74656-A is not an Intrepid-class starship like its predecessor. Instead, it's one of Star Trek 's brand new Lamarr-class science vessels, which is an appropriate designation given its namesake. The Hagemans confirmed to Trek Core that they were inspired by the actress and revolutionary inventor and scientist, Hedy Lamarr. Given that the character of Janeway inspired the founding of the Janeway Collective, and led the way for a whole generation of female leaders and scientists, it's absolutely perfect that her new Voyager honors a real-world female scientist.

How Does Star Trek: Prodigy's New Starship Compare To The Voyager-B and Voyager-J?

The USS Voyager-B was briefly glimpsed in Star Trek: Picard season 3, by Janeway's stalker Raffi Musiker (Michelle Hurd). Like the USS Voyager-A, it retained a very similar shape to the original starship, but with some considerable upgrades. The Voyager-B was a Pathfinder-class starship, which originated in the MMORPG Star Trek Online . Featuring two deflector dishes and stylish black livery, it was a significant upgrade to the Intrepid-class starships of the 24th century. However, with a crew of roughly 200, it was much smaller than the Lamarr-class USS Voyager-A teased in the first glimpse at Star Trek: Prodigy season 2.

In Star Trek: Discovery 's far future, the USS Voyager-J helped Captain Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) and the fledgling Starfleet to defeat the Emerald Chain in the 3200s. In Discovery season 4, the Voyager-J was fitted with an experimental pathway drive, which didn't require the use of dilithium. It's likely that the USS Voyager-A will also use an alternative to Star Trek 's warp drive , more specifically the quantum slipstream technology discovered during its predecessor's exploration of the Delta Quadrant.

Star Trek: Voyager 's titular starship, and its future successors all share a passion for pursuing the far reaches of scientific knowledge. With Admiral Kathryn Janeway back at the helm of a brand-new starship headed for an alternate future, the Voyager-A will certainly have ample opportunities to live up to its namesake. The only thing standing in its way is the fact that Star Trek: Prodigy remains in limbo. However, fans shouldn't lose hope, as the unveiling of the Voyager-A is yet another exciting reason for saving Star Trek: Prodigy season 2 from cancelation.

History [ ]

The Pathfinder -class bore strong resemblance to the earlier Intrepid -class of the 24th century .

In 2401, thirty-six ships of this class were assembled near Sol Station for Starfleet's Frontier Day celebration. They, along with the rest of the fleet , they were seized by the Borg after their younger crew members were assimilated by a signal transmitted via Jack Crusher . ( PIC : " Võx ", " The Last Generation ")

Interior design [ ]

Command and control systems [ ].

By 2401 , the computer systems on board the class had been built to include the Fleet formation mode , also known as Starfleet emergency protocol NX12.11, designed to place all Federation starships within a fleet under the automated control of the Starfleet mainframe. ( PIC : " Võx ")

Ships commissioned [ ]

• USS Voyager ( NCC -74656-B)
• USS Drexler (NCC-97626)
• USS Eaves (NCC-97621)
• Unnamed Pathfinder -class starships

Background information [ ]

The Pathfinder -class originates from Star Trek Online , where it is a 25th century successor to the Intrepid -class . It was named in honor of Project Pathfinder , one of the few refit ship classes from Star Trek Online not named after previously seen starships. The hitherto apocryphal class name was later confirmed by Star Trek: Picard Production Designer Dave Blass as the one used to identify the design's onscreen appearances. [1]

The total number of Pathfinder -class vessels present at Frontier Day was established by Picard Research Assistant Jörg Hillebrand . [2]

Studio model [ ]

The Pathfinder debuted as a playable ship in Star Trek Online in 2014, nine years before its onscreen appearance. It was the very first ship designed and constructed by Thomas Marrone for the game, [3] [4] who also refined its in-game visuals in 2021. [5]

The Pathfinder -class became one of several ship classes that transited from Star Trek Online to Picard , among them the Alita -class , Edison -class , Gagarin -class , Odyssey -class , Pioneer -class , Reliant -class , Ross -class , and the Sutherland -class .

Apocrypha [ ]

Commissioned in 2410 as a long-range science vessel , the USS Pathfinder (NCC-97600) ( β ) is the lead vessel of the class in Online lore. Additionally some class specifications are set as follows:

• Length: 431.4 meters

and where it is further stated that, " The modular mission of the USS Pathfinder provide the ship with the ability to swap equipment quickly to respond to a variety of mission profiles it might encounter as it travels beyond the Iconian gateways . " ( Star Trek Online Starships Collection , issue 7, p. 8)
