HISTORY[]
CONSTRUCTION AND LAUNCH[]
Voyager in drydockview image
The USS Voyager was constructed at the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards orbiting Mars
and was launched from Earth Station McKinley on stardate 48038.5 in 2371. (VOY:
"Relativity") Voyager was one of the earliest Intrepid-class starships
constructed and it featured a number of technological innovations that had
become available in the 2370s: bio-neural circuitry, variable geometry warp
nacelles, and an Emergency Medical Holographic program were only a few of
Voyager's notable technical advancements. The vessel was also the first to test
the class 9 warp drive in deep space. According to himself, Q suspected William
T. Riker might be assigned to command Voyager. (VOY: "Death Wish") Captain
Kathryn Janeway assumed command of Voyager, however, doing so almost immediately
before it disembarked from drydock. Vice Admiral Patterson greeted her on board
with a tour of the ship. (VOY: "Caretaker", "Relativity")
In the first draft script of "Death Wish", Q mentioned that he had suspected
command of Voyager might have even been granted to Worf, before realizing that
he was instead serving aboard Deep Space 9.
FIRST MISSION[]
Voyager leaves space station Deep Space 9view image
Shortly before Voyager's launch, Captain Janeway's chief of security and second
officer, Lieutenant Tuvok, had successfully infiltrated the Maquis ship Val
Jean, commanded by the disgruntled former Starfleet officer Chakotay. The Maquis
ship, including Tuvok, went missing in the Badlands and Voyager was ordered on a
three-week mission to locate and capture the missing vessel. (VOY: "Caretaker",
"Elogium")
Voyager in the Badlandsview image
At the Federation Penal Colony in New Zealand, Janeway recruited Tom Paris –
former Starfleet officer, short-term member of the Maquis, and son of Admiral
Owen Paris – whose knowledge of the Badlands and the Maquis were considered
essential for the mission. Reluctantly, Paris agreed to be brought on board as
an "observer." After leaving space station Deep Space 9 and entering the
Badlands, Voyager was swept seventy thousand light years into the Delta Quadrant
where it also discovered Chakotay's missing Maquis vessel – the Val Jean – which
had experienced a similar fate. (VOY: "Caretaker")
Voyager embarks on its journeyview image
Several crew members were killed during Voyager's violent hurtle into the Delta
Quadrant, including the first officer, Lieutenant Commander Cavit; the helmsman,
Lieutenant Stadi; the chief engineer; the transporter chief; and the entire
medical staff, including the chief medical officer. Furthermore, crewmembers of
both vessels were abducted upon their arrival and subjected to painful three-day
medical examinations conducted by an entity known as the "Caretaker". The
Caretaker, a sporocystian lifeform who belonged to a race called the Nacene, was
dying and in search of a suitable mate so his offspring could continue to
provide for a species called the Ocampa after his death. He felt an obligation
to the Ocampa as many years ago his race of explorers from a distant galaxy was
responsible for the destruction of their planet's atmosphere, which in turn
forced the Ocampa to move below ground. The Caretaker created underground
hospitable areas for the Ocampa and completely provided for them.
Unable to find a compatible mate in any of Voyager or the Val Jean's crew,
however, he returned them to their respective ships. Two of the crew members –
B'Elanna Torres and Harry Kim – became ill after the experiments and were sent
by the Caretaker to the Ocampa homeworld for care and medical treatment.
Realizing the perilous state of their situation, Janeway and Chakotay decided to
put aside their differences in order to locate their missing crew and then find
a way to return home.
En route to Ocampa, the two ships encountered a Talaxian freighter manned by
Neelix who, in exchange for water, agreed to help retrieve the missing crew.
Both were eventually rescued and treated by Voyager's EMH. The Caretaker's
condition continued to deteriorate, however, rendering him unable to send the
two ships back to the Alpha Quadrant. He died a short time later. Although
Lieutenant Tuvok believed he could activate the system that could send Voyager
back, that would have meant potentially leaving the technology in the hands of a
hostile native species, the Kazon-Ogla, whose malevolent use of the system would
have threatened the existence of the Ocampa.
The USS Voyager dwarfed by the Caretaker's arrayview image
Instead of allowing the Kazon to seize the Caretaker's advanced technology and
harm the peaceful Ocampa, Captain Janeway made the decision to destroy the
Caretaker's array. She ordered two tricobalt devices, armed with a yield of
20,000 teracochranes, fired at the array, which destroyed it. This decision left
Voyager stranded in the Delta Quadrant. After the destruction of the Val Jean
during a battle with the Kazon, the Starfleet and Maquis crew were forced to
merge for their projected seventy-five-year journey home. (VOY: "Caretaker",
"Relativity")

BEGINNINGS IN THE DELTA QUADRANT[]
The Array destroyedview image
A projection of Voyager's route through the galaxy in 2374view image
Voyager officially lost contact with Starfleet on stardate 48307.5. Because the
Val Jean was destroyed in a battle against the Kazon, its entire surviving crew
transferred to Voyager to embark on the journey home. Several key positions
aboard the vessel, left vacant by heavy casualties, were filled by the new
Maquis crew. Chakotay became Voyager's first officer, and B'Elanna Torres,
despite a rocky relationship with then-acting chief engineer Lieutenant Joe
Carey, became the new chief engineer. Tom Paris was also promoted to Helmsman
and third officer. With no surviving medical staff, the EMH became the chief
(and only) medical officer. His design parameters included a maximum operating
time of 1,500 hours, but the engineering staff eventually upgraded his program
sufficiently to overcome this hindrance. (VOY: "Caretaker", "Parallax", "Eye of
the Needle", "The Swarm")
Neelix remained on board and served the ship as a guide during the vessel's
first two and a half years in the region, before they passed beyond the region
of space that he was familiar with. He also became the ship's morale officer,
chef, and eventually, ambassador. His Ocampan girlfriend, Kes, joined him and
began medical training with The Doctor to become a nurse and field medic,
allowing her to carry out medical treatment in cases where the holographic
Doctor would be unavailable as well as treat more minor injuries so he wouldn't
need to be called on for everything. She also converted one of the ship's cargo
bays into an airponics bay to grow fruits and vegetables, which helped conserve
power for Voyager by reducing the need for food replicators. (VOY: "Parallax",
"Phage", "Cold Fire", "Macrocosm", "Fury")
CONFLICT WITH THE KAZON[]
The Kazon surround Voyagerview image
See also: Voyager-Kazon conflict
The destruction of the Caretaker's array, along with Captain Janeway's decision
to withhold sharing any of Voyager's technology - in accordance with the Prime
Directive - left the ship in poor standing with the Kazon who were desperately
seeking to get their hands on some of the advanced Starfleet technology. To make
matters worse, several Voyager crew members such as Seska and Michael Jonas -
both former Maquis - did not agree with following Starfleet principles and
directives, believing them to be not worth making an enemy of the Kazon and thus
delaying and endangering their journey home. (VOY: "State of Flux")
In 2371, in an elaborate deception that involved secretly transferring
replicator technology to the Kazon, Seska defected to the Kazon-Nistrim sect.
Much to the surprise of her former Maquis crew-mates – in particular Chakotay
who had also been romantically involved with Seska – The Doctor discovered that
she was in fact a Cardassian spy, surgically altered to appear Bajoran, assigned
to infiltrate Chakotay's Maquis cell.
After fleeing the ship and joining the Kazon-Nistrim, Seska immediately began to
reassert her Cardassian physiology and began supplying them with information
about Voyager and training them in Cardassian battle tactics. Another crew
member, Michael Jonas, remained on Voyager and started clandestinely supplying
information to the Kazon-Nistrim sometime in 2372, before he was eventually
discovered by Tom Paris and Neelix after a dangerous sting operation and killed
when he attempted to sabotage the ship's weapons. (VOY: "State of Flux",
"Maneuvers", "Basics, Part I")
The year 2372 was marked by several devastating attacks by the Kazon. At one
point Voyager was attacked four times in two weeks alone, losing three
crewmembers and lowering morale. Commander Chakotay suggested forming an
alliance with a few of the Kazon sects to ensure Voyager's safety through the
region. A reluctant Captain Janeway eventually agreed to a meeting. The
attempted collaboration, however, proved to be an almost futile mistake, making
it impossible for Voyager to enter into any meaningful alliances with any of the
Kazon sects. Hostilities between Voyager and the Kazon continued throughout the
year. (VOY: "Alliances")
At the end of the year, Voyager received a message from Seska saying that she
had given birth to Chakotay's son and that the child was in danger of becoming a
slave to the Kazon. The crew was immediately suspicious that Seska was luring
Voyager into a trap, but rallied behind Chakotay and his responsibility to his
son. After recovering Teirna, one of Seska's aids, Voyager set a course toward
Kazon territory. Unfortunately the crew's initial skepticism proved to be
correct: Seska's message was a setup, and during the ensuing battle, Voyager was
captured and the crew was marooned on Hanon IV - a desolate planet in an early
stage of its evolution. (VOY: "Basics, Part I")
Tom Paris had managed to escape the ship in a shuttle and reach a nearby
Talaxian colony. With the help of the Talaxians, The Doctor, and Lon Suder, who
had been mistakenly left behind during the capture of Voyager, Paris and the
Talaxians were able to retake Voyager and rescue the crew on Hanon IV at the end
of 2372. Seska was killed during the conflict, and her child was later found to
be Maje Culluh's, Culluh taking the child with him. Voyager left Kazon space a
short time later when it went to maximum warp while in a nearby nebula in 2373.

THE JOURNEY OF VOYAGER[]
VOYAGER AND TIME TRAVEL[]
Voyager over 1996 Los Angelesview image
Voyager had earned a reputation in the 29th century for being involved in a
number of temporal incidents. One Starfleet officer of the era made note of how
often the vessel showed up on the USS Relativity's temporal sensors; the
vessel's captain was even driven to madness due to Voyager's incursions. (VOY:
"Relativity")
In 2371, Voyager became trapped in a quantum singularity while responding to a
distress call. It was discovered that the distress call had actually been sent
by Voyager herself, and the crew was trying to rescue a time-delayed
"reflection" of themselves. (VOY: "Parallax")

the shipview image
Later that year, a wormhole leading to the Alpha Quadrant was discovered. While
it was quickly found to be in an advanced state of decay and not suitable for
travel, the crew was able to make contact with a Romulan ship on the other side.
After finding a way of transporting the Romulan captain to Voyager, it was
discovered that the Alpha Quadrant end of the wormhole was set twenty years in
the past. The Romulan captain, Telek R'Mor, agreed to inform Starfleet of
Voyager's location in 2371, but passed away in 2367, four years before he would
have delivered the crew's messages. (VOY: "Eye of the Needle")
A short time later, a future version of Kes arrived on Voyager, with the intent
of handing the crew over to the Vidiians. During the ambush Kes helped set up,
she was found trying to leave Voyager with her younger self and forced Captain
Janeway to kill her. The younger Kes recorded a message to be played at some
point in the future to make sure that the incident did not repeat itself. (VOY:
"Fury")
In 2373, Voyager was attacked by a 29th century Federation vessel under the
command of Captain Braxton. The ensuing battle led Voyager and the time ship to
be pulled into the 20th century, with Voyager arriving in orbit of Earth in
1996, and Braxton arriving approximately thirty years earlier. During this time,
Voyager's EMH acquired the mobile emitter that allowed him to exist outside of
just sickbay and the holodeck which were equipped with holo-emitters. Another
version of Braxton detected Voyager in 1996 and returned them to the 24th
century Delta Quadrant. (VOY: "Future's End", "Future's End, Part II")
The Delta Flyerview image
While testing Voyager's newly-completed quantum slipstream drive in 2375, Seven
of Nine received a set of phase corrections through her Borg implants. Instead
of stabilizing the slipstream, however, they collapsed it. Harry Kim, who was
ahead of Voyager in the Delta Flyer mapping the threshold, insisted that he did
not send the message. Embedded in the transmission received by Seven was a
Starfleet security code belonging to Harry Kim. In it was a message from an
older version of himself telling the younger Kim that he had made a mistake
fifteen years prior that cost the lives of the Voyager crew, and that if he was
seeing the message then "all of that has changed." (VOY: "Timeless")
One of the more complex temporal incidents encountered by the Voyager crew came
in late-2375. Specifically, the incident occurred on stardate 52861.274 at
spatial coordinates 87-Theta by 271. Voyager began experiencing numerous
temporal paradoxes throughout the ship, with time passing more quickly in
certain areas and slowing down in others. It was estimated that the temporal
distortions would destroy the ship in a matter of hours. A few seconds before
the explosion, two Starfleet officers from the future recovered Seven of Nine.
She had been drafted by Captain Braxton and Lieutenant Ducane of the timeship
USS Relativity to prevent the explosion and capture the individual responsible
for Voyager's destruction. It was discovered that the disruptor was planted
aboard Voyager on stardate 49123.5621 at spatial coordinates 21 Alpha Prime by
936 Zeta. After traveling to this point in Voyager's history, the culprit was
revealed to be a future version of Braxton, intent on taking revenge on Voyager
for being responsible for so many temporal incursions that caused the need for
him to go into rehabilitation a second time. Although Braxton was captured,
several temporal paradoxes were created during the incident, such as Captain
Janeway and Tuvok meeting Seven in 2372 instead of 2374. Lieutenant Ducane
determined it necessary to "clean up" the timeline, and because Seven of Nine
was unable to make any further time jumps without injuring herself, Captain
Janeway was enlisted. She successfully captured Braxton seconds after initially
setting foot on Voyager, preventing the paradoxes. Afterwards, Ducane decided
not to wipe Seven and Janeway's memories of the events, but left them with
orders to remember the Temporal Prime Directive and not to discuss the
experience with anyone. (VOY: "Relativity")
In 2376, Voyager visited a planet with a tachyon core, causing time to pass
faster on the planet than the rest of galaxy. (VOY: "Blink of an Eye")
In 2377, a temporal anomaly emitted a surge of energy that split Voyager into
multiple time periods throughout the ship. The crew from various periods of the
vessel's history were able to restore Voyager to temporal sync. Only Commander
Chakotay retained memory of these events as the timeline had been reset to his
time period, allowing him to prevent the energy surge. (VOY: "Shattered")

DOPPELGÄNGERS[]
See also: Doppelgänger and Silver Blood
On two occasions, during their journey through the Delta Quadrant, Voyager and
its crew duplicated.
Duplicate Voyagersview image
The first occasion was in 2372 when, in an attempt to avoid going through
Vidiian territory, the crew head into a plasma drift in an effort to escape the
Vidiians. The plan was a success, but as Voyager was leaving the plasma drift
the ship was hit repeatedly by a series of proton bursts seemingly out of
nowhere that caused heavy damage to the ship and in the process the loss of
Harry Kim and Ensign Samantha Wildman's newborn child, Kim being sucked out of
the ship through a hull breach while the infant died to various medical
complications. It was discovered that the bursts were coming from another
Voyager occupying the same point in space as the now damaged Voyager due to a
spatial scission. As both ships were drawing on the same antimatter reserves,
their continued mutual existence was impossible, trying to recombine the ships
failed, and although a spatial rift was discovered on deck 14 that allowed the
two crews to travel between ships, it was soon deduced that the rift would
become instable if more than ten people passed through it in either direction.
The intact Voyager was later destroyed by its self-destruct after it was boarded
by Vidiians. Before its destruction however, its Harry Kim and the newborn of
Samantha Wildman - which had come through her birth safe and healthy - were
transferred to the damaged Voyager. (VOY: "Deadlock")
On another occasion in 2374 a bio-mimetic lifeform, known as the Silver Blood,
was discovered on a Y class planet when the crew where searching for sources of
deuterium. After duplicating Tom Paris and Harry Kim, the crew discover the
Silver Blood was a sentient lifeform. In exchange for letting Voyager go, along
with a supply of deuterium, the crew gave their DNA so they could be copied.
(VOY: "Demon")
However, by 2375 the Silver Blood Voyager crew had replicated their own Voyager.
This crew attempted to journey back to the Alpha Quadrant as well, oblivious to
their true origins. It was not until the use of an enhanced warp drive that they
learned who they really were. The new warp drive was harmful to them and
ultimately led to the destruction of the Silver Blood Voyager and its crew.
(VOY: "Course: Oblivion")
THE BORG[]

Although the Delta Quadrant remained mostly unexplored by the latter half of the
24th century, one thing that was known about the region was that it was home to
the Borg. The Voyager crew knew the day would come when they would come face to
face with the Collective.
The first indications that Voyager was approaching Borg space came in 2373, when
the remains of a Borg drone were discovered on the Sakari homeworld. A short
time later, a derelict Borg cube was discovered adrift in the Nekrit Expanse.
(VOY: "Blood Fever", "Unity")
Voyager follows the Borg cubeview image
Voyager finally entered Borg space at the end of the year, however, instead of
facing assimilation, the crew found themselves on the sidelines of a brutal war
between the Collective and an extra-dimensional alien species known only by
their Borg designation of Species 8472. After determining that Species 8472
represented a significant threat to all life in the Milky Way Galaxy, Captain
Janeway decided to form an unprecedented alliance with the Borg in order to
drive the aliens back into their realm. In exchange for safe passage through
Borg space, Janeway agreed to help the Collective construct a weapon capable of
defeating the invading aliens. The Borg assigned a representative, Seven of
Nine, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix 01, to work with the Voyager crew directly.
Following the successful final confrontation with Species 8472 in their native
realm, the Borg betrayed Voyager and attempted to assimilate the vessel and its
crew through Seven of Nine. The crew had prepared for this eventuality and
managed to disable the drone. Seven of Nine was permanently severed from the
Collective and joined the Voyager crew for the remainder of their journey. (VOY:
"Scorpion", "Scorpion, Part II")
A Borg probe attacks; Voyager defends itselfview image
The next significant encounter with the Borg came in 2375, when Voyager was
attacked by a small Borg probe. Captain Janeway intended only to disable the
vessel and steal a transwarp coil, but ended up destroying it by accident when
Harry Kim transported a photon torpedo into an area near the power matrix. After
analyzing several recovered data nodes, the crew was able to conduct a
successful raid of a damaged Borg sphere and get away with a working transwarp
coil, although Seven of Nine was captured during the operation. An away team led
by Janeway was eventually able to recover her. Using the coil, Voyager was able
to shorten its journey home by several years before the coil burned out. (VOY:
"Dark Frontier")
In 2376, another derelict cube was found where all the adult drones had been
killed by a virus. The Voyager crew was able to liberate four adolescent drones,
Icheb, Mezoti, and the twins Rebi and Azan, who had been spared the ultimate
fate of the virus. The twins were eventually returned to their people, who also
agreed to give Mezoti a home, however Icheb remained with Voyager throughout the
remainder of its journey and intended to apply to Starfleet Academy. (VOY:
"Collective", "Imperfection", "Endgame")
In 2377, the Borg became aware of Unimatrix Zero. The Borg Queen immediately
began to research a way to destroy the realm, believing it to be a threat to the
Collective. The drones occupying Unimatrix Zero found a way to contact Seven of
Nine, who had previously been able to access the region during her time as
drone, and through she was able to convince Captain Janeway to assist them.
Janeway, Tuvok, and Torres were inoculated with a neural suppressant and allowed
to be physically assimilated in order to plant a virus into the Collective. The
virus liberated the drones of Unimatrix Zero from the hive mind, allowing a
resistance movement to form against the Borg. (VOY: "Unimatrix Zero", "Unimatrix
Zero, Part II")

CONTACT WITH STARFLEET[]
THE PATHFINDER PROJECT[]
Voyager had been declared "officially lost" by 2373. Fourteen months later,
Seven of Nine detected a large communications network with a sensor range
capable of reaching the outskirts of the Alpha Quadrant. A Federation vessel was
detected in range of one of the farthest relay stations, and in lieu of failed
attempts to contact the vessel via standard hails, The Doctor was transmitted to
make contact, since his program would not degrade in transit.
Upon boarding the USS Prometheus, The Doctor found the crew dead and the ship in
the hands of the Romulan military. With the help of the Prometheus' EMH, The
Doctor was able to return the vessel to Starfleet custody and finally report on
Voyager's situation. He told Starfleet Command everything that had happened to
the Voyager crew and was returned to the vessel with a message for the crew:
"You are no longer alone." (VOY: "Message in a Bottle")
Starfleet began the Pathfinder Project, a division of Starfleet with the goal of
establishing contact with Voyager and finding a way to bring the lost vessel
home. The team was led by Commander Pete Harkins and overseen by Admiral Owen
Paris, but the driving force behind the project was Lieutenant Reginald Barclay,
formerly of the USS Enterprise. Thanks to Barclay's efforts, contact with
Voyager was reestablished in late 2376 and regular contact was maintained for
the duration of the vessel's journey. The project revolutionized long-range
communications; major milestones included the ability to send monthly
transmissions and eventually establish two-way live visual communication at a
distance of 30,000 light years, even if only for eleven minutes a day. (VOY:
"Pathfinder", "Life Line", "Author, Author")
THE EQUINOX[]
The Equinox and Voyagerview image
In 2375, Voyager responded to a Federation distress call from the starship USS
Equinox commanded by Captain Rudolph Ransom. The vessel had been stranded in the
Delta Quadrant by the Caretaker as well, and had been suffering attacks by
unknown nucleogenic lifeforms. Unknown to the Voyager crew, the Equinox crew had
been performing illegal experiments on the aliens in an effort to enhance their
warp drive and return home sooner. Upon discovering this, Captain Janeway had
the Equinox crew arrested, but they soon escaped. Janeway began a manhunt for
Ransom, much to the dissatisfaction of Chakotay, who believed that Janeway was
crossing the line. He convinced her to negotiate a cease fire with the aliens,
but was relieved of duty for opposing her harsh attitude towards Ransom.
Eventually Voyager caught up with the Equinox. Ransom, in a last minute change
of heart, decided to surrender to Janeway. Unfortunately, his first officer,
Lieutenant Maxwell Burke, had other ideas, and relieved his captain of duty.
Ransom and chief engineer Ensign Marla Gilmore managed to beam the Equinox
personnel to Voyager, but were unable to save Burke and the rest of the bridge
crew. After dropping the shields around the warp core, the aliens caused a warp
core breach, destroying the Equinox.
The five surviving Equinox crew members were stripped of rank and ordered to
serve as crewmen aboard Voyager, under close supervision with limited
privileges. (VOY: "Equinox", "Equinox, Part II")

OFFICIAL MISSION[]
In 2378, Voyager was given its first official assignment since its entrapment in
the Delta Quadrant seven years earlier. Captain Janeway's orders were to locate
and retrieve an old Earth space-probe, Friendship 1, that was launched in 2067
with the directive of contacting new species. Starfleet had lost contact with
the probe around 2248 but its last known location and heading had projected the
probe to be somewhere near Voyager's location.
The probe was located on a highly irradiated world whose inhabitants had taken
advantage of the information contained in the probe's database, with disastrous
results. The survivors held the Voyager crew responsible for the current
condition of their planet and people, and killed Lieutenant Joe Carey during a
hostage situation that arose when an away team was sent to retrieve the probe.
After rescuing the away team and repairing the damage to the planet's
atmosphere, Voyager took the probe's remains into its cargo bay and resumed a
course for the Alpha Quadrant. (VOY: "Friendship One")
SHORTENING THE JOURNEY[]
Voyager and the Delta Flyer enter the slipstreamview image
Over the course of Voyager's journey throughout the Delta Quadrant, the vessel
encountered many technologies and anomalies that shortened the vessel's return
to the Alpha Quadrant.
In 2374, following the conclusion of the war between the Borg and Species 8472,
Kes began to experience after effects following her communications with the
aliens. She began evolving towards a higher state of being, but the process
proved to be dangerous to Voyager so she decided to leave to protect the ship.
As her final gift to the Voyager crew, Kes propelled the ship over 9,500 light
years closer to Earth, eliminating ten years off the crew's journey. (VOY: "The
Gift")
Later in 2374, Seven of Nine installed the new astrometrics lab in Voyager.
Because of the Borg's more advanced technology and detailed knowledge of the
Delta Quadrant, Seven plotted a faster course back to Earth. She commented that
the new course would trim five years off the journey. (VOY: "Year of Hell")
At the end of that year, Voyager encountered the USS Dauntless, a vessel
allegedly sent by Starfleet Command to bring the Voyager crew home. In reality,
the Dauntless was part of an elaborate trap laid out by the alien Arturis to
exact revenge on Captain Janeway, for what he saw as her role in the Borg's
assimilation of his world. The Dauntless was equipped with a quantum slipstream
drive, a highly advanced propulsion system similar to Borg transwarp conduits.
Lieutenant Torres was able to modify Voyager to be able to make use of this
technology temporarily in order to rescue Captain Janeway and Seven of Nine from
Arturis aboard the Dauntless. After their rescue, Voyager was able travel three
hundred light years closer to the Alpha Quadrant before it collapsed. Several
months later, the crew revisited this technology and was able to travel another
ten thousand light years before the slipstream dispersed. The technology was
deemed too dangerous for use after this occurrence and was dismantled. (VOY:
"Hope and Fear", "Timeless")
In early 2375, Voyager entered an area of space known as the Void. The region
contained no star systems and high levels of theta radiation did not allow light
from any stars beyond the area to be seen from within. A spatial vortex leading
to the other side of this region cut two years and twenty-five hundred light
years off of Voyager's journey. (VOY: "Night")
Captain Janeway estimated that avoiding conflicts with the Borg added two years
onto the crew's journey. However, in mid-2375, the crew stole a transwarp coil
from a Borg sphere that allowed Voyager to travel twenty thousand light years,
which cut fifteen years off Voyager's trip home. (VOY: "Dark Frontier")
In 2376, Voyager used a "catapult" constructed by an alien known as Tash to cut
three years off the journey home. (VOY: "The Voyager Conspiracy")
Q, grateful for Captain Janeway's assistance in straightening out his son's
behavior, provided Janeway with a route that would take a few years off of
Voyager's journey in 2378. (VOY: "Q2")

THE RETURN HOME[]
The original route Voyager traveled back to Earth from 2371-2394, cut short by
Admiral Janeway's temporal incursionview image
In 2378, high levels of neutrino emissions consistent with wormholes were
detected inside a nebula. Voyager immediately set a course, only to discover it
overrun with Borg. Captain Janeway intended to continue the journey home by
conventional means, until a future version of the captain from the year 2404
arrived. This Admiral Janeway provided Voyager with advanced weapons
(transphasic torpedoes) and ablative generators that proved highly resistant to
Borg weaponry.
Voyager with ablative generator in operationview image
With this new technology, Voyager returned to the nebula in force. However, upon
the discovery of a Borg transwarp hub at the center of the nebula, Captain
Janeway withdrew and immediately began plans to destroy it. Admiral Janeway at
first objected to this but a change of heart encouraged her to cooperate with
her younger self. The plan called for Admiral Janeway to be assimilated by the
Borg Queen herself. The admiral was carrying a neurolytic pathogen, which
immediately infected the Queen and caused her to lose control of the transwarp
hub's manifold shielding, allowing Voyager to destroy the hub from the inside.
The pathogen continued to spread throughout the Collective, resulting in the
destruction of Unimatrix 01 and the death of the Queen and Admiral Janeway.
Unfortunately, a single Borg sphere that was still in contact with the Borg
Queen before her death intercepted Voyager while traveling through the
collapsing hub. After allowing Voyager to be brought inside the sphere, Tuvok
fired a transphasic torpedo, destroying the sphere as Voyager emerged victorious
in front of a Federation fleet in the Alpha Quadrant less than a light year from
Earth. The excited fleet then escorted Voyager the rest of the short distance to
Earth.
Voyager is escorted homeview image
Voyager spent a total of seven years in the Delta Quadrant before returning to
Federation space and being recovered by Starfleet. The original estimate of the
time needed for the return trip had been seventy-five years but intervention by
numerous alien races, time travel, spatial anomalies, and the acquisition of new
technologies considerably shortened the journey. (VOY: "Endgame")
RETIREMENT[]
Voyager landed in San Francisco for displayview image
Following its return to the Alpha Quadrant, Voyager was decommissioned from
active duty and taken to a facility in the Portelo system to be converted into a
museum ship, under the supervision of curator Beljo Tweekle. Exhibits were
installed inside the ship, including mission-worn uniforms and depictions of
significant events, and holo-emitters were installed throughout the ship to aid
in presentations.
The conversion was completed in 2381. The USS Cerritos crew was tasked with
bringing Voyager to Earth, where it would be temporarily displayed at Starfleet
Command in San Francisco before being placed permanently in orbit. En route, a
dormant macrovirus was awoken and began self-replicating and spraying adhesive
slime all over the ship. One of the macroviruses activated the regeneration
alcove and was assimilated by an errant nanoprobe, which transformed into a
macrobot and seized the ship's systems. The macrobot attempted to take the ship
to the Borg Collective but was stopped by Ensigns Brad Boimler and Sam
Rutherford, who used Neelix's brill cheese to disable the bio-neural systems.
Voyager was then delivered to Earth, with an added exhibit documenting this
latest chapter of its history. (LD: "Twovix")

LEGACY[]
Voyager's fame inspired a set of collectible Voyager plates depicting the ship
and individual members of the command crew, which Ensign Brad Boimler collected
in 2381. (LD: "We'll Always Have Tom Paris")
In 2383, Hologram Janeway showed the young crew of the USS Protostar an image of
Voyager while explaining the history of the Federation and Starfleet to them.

and Murf from San Francisco Bay. (PRO: "Supernova, Part 2")
Depicted at Starfleet Academy in 2401view image

Starfleet". (PIC: "The Star Gazer")
The "Ships of the Line" plaques were designed by Geoffrey Mandel, with ship
artwork and pedestal design by John Eaves. [1](X)
Seven of Nine would keep a model of Voyager in her quarters during her service

While visiting the Fleet Museum to get Commodore Geordi La Forge's help, Seven

Defiant, USS Enterprise-A and the Voyager. Seven nostalgically told Jack that
"she made her name further out than... any of those relics had ever gone. I was
reborn there. She was my home. The crew were my family." (PIC: "The Bounty")
During the final battle with the Borg over Jupiter, the Borg Queen revealed that
the conflict between the Borg and Voyager, specifically the neurolytic pathogen
that the alternate timeline version of Janeway had infected the Borg with to
ensure that Voyager got home, had decimated the Borg Collective, leaving it on
the very edge of destruction. The battle between the Borg and the USS
Enterprise-D saw the final destruction of the Borg Collective, finishing what
Voyager and her crew had started decades before. (PIC: "The Last Generation")
By the 32nd century, the USS Voyager-J (of a re-inspired Intrepid-class) was the
eleventh starship to bear the name Voyager. (DIS: "Die Trying")
FIRST CONTACTS[]

Voyager made hundreds of first contacts, more than any other Federation starship
since the era of James T. Kirk and the original USS Enterprise. Captain Janeway

TECHNICAL DATA[]
PHYSICAL ARRANGEMENT[]
With fifteen decks, a length of 343 meters, a crew complement capacity of
approximately 160, and a mass of 700,000 metric tons, Voyager was only about
half the size of the Galaxy-class starships introduced in the 2350s. However,
what the Intrepid-class starship lacked in physical size she made up for with
technological advancements: Voyager boasted some of the most advanced sensor
equipment in the Federation fleet and was capable of reaching a sustainable
cruise velocity of warp factor 9.975. She was further equipped with bio-neural
circuitry that contained gel-packs with bio-neural cells that organized
information more efficiently and sped up response time. Its computer processor
was capable of simultaneous access to 47 million data channels, transluminal
processing at 575 trillion calculations per nanosecond and operational
temperature margins from 10 Kelvin to 1,790 Kelvin. (VOY: "Caretaker", "Phage",
"Concerning Flight"). The ship had 256 rooms plus the holodeck. (VOY:

DEFENSE SYSTEMS[]
USS Voyager firing tricobalt devicesview image
Like many Federation starships of its time, Voyager was armed with phasers and
type-6 photon torpedoes and protected by a deflector shield system. The vessel's
torpedo launchers were compatible with quantum torpedoes as well, with some
modification. Additionally, Voyager carried spatial charges and tricobalt
devices, the latter of which were not normally carried on Starfleet vessels at
the time. (VOY: "Caretaker", "Dreadnought", "Relativity", "The Voyager
Conspiracy")
Shortly before the vessel's return to the Alpha Quadrant in 2378, Voyager was
upgraded with ablative generators and transphasic torpedoes, both of which were
brought back in time by a future version of Kathryn Janeway from the year 2404.
These new systems drastically increased Voyager's combat capabilities against
the Borg; Borg weapons had a difficult time penetrating the hull armor and
entire Borg cubes were destroyed with only one or two transphasic torpedoes
each. (VOY: "Endgame")
Advertisement
UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS[]
BORG ENHANCEMENTS[]
Following Captain Janeway's brief alliance with the Borg in 2373-74, Voyager
gained access to a large amount of Borg technology. During this alliance, the
Borg equipped Voyager with modified torpedoes which were armed with
collaboratively modified nanoprobes capable of destroying a Species 8472
bio-ship with a single shot. The modifications the Borg made to the power relays
on Deck 8 were allowed to remain intact after B'Elanna Torres noted that they
worked better with the Borg improvements. Additionally, an astrometrics lab was
constructed with Borg-enhanced sensors by the former drone, Seven of Nine, and
Ensign Harry Kim. A 29th century Borg drone encountered in 2375 was able to
further enhance Voyager's defensive systems, albeit in a limited manner, in
order to escape from an attacking Borg sphere. Voyager's engines were also
compatible with Borg transwarp technology: in 2375 a transwarp coil was used to
cut fifteen years off of their journey back to Earth. (VOY: "Scorpion, Part II",
"Year of Hell", "Drone", "Dark Frontier")
ASTROMETRICS LAB[]
USS Voyager's astrometrics labview image
In 2374, Ensign Harry Kim and Seven of Nine collaborated to construct Voyager's
astrometrics lab. The lab's sensors measured the radiative flux of up to three
billion stars simultaneously, and the computer would then calculate Voyager's
position relative to the center of the galaxy, making the stellar mapping
technology ten times more accurate than what the vessel had been using
previously. This new technology was first used to calculate a new route to the
Alpha Quadrant that would eliminate five years from Voyager's journey home. The
astrometrics lab was located on deck 8. (VOY: "Year of Hell")
EMERGENCY COMMAND HOLOGRAM[]
Throughout Voyager's time in the Delta Quadrant, the crew encountered several
situations that left them incapacitated and unable to control the ship.
Voyager's chief medical officer, The Doctor, proposed an extension to his
holoprogram in 2376 in response to this that would allow him to control the ship
in such a situation – essentially functioning as a "backup captain". Despite
some initial reluctance from Captain Janeway, the extension was completed by
2377 and put into use when the crew was abducted by the Quarren. This prevented
Voyager from being captured and allowed for the eventual recovery of the crew.
(VOY: "Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy", "Workforce", "Workforce, Part II")
EMBARKED CRAFT[]
SHUTTLECRAFT[]
Shuttlecraft proved to be rather versatile, if not expendable, benefactors of
Voyager's return to the Alpha Quadrant. Along with the transporter, shuttlecraft
were one of the two most common conventional modes of transportation to and from
Voyager. (VOY: "Heroes and Demons")
Shuttles were generally used for planetary landings when transporters were
inoperable or unable to penetrate a planet's atmosphere. (VOY: "The 37's",
"Parturition", "Tuvix", "Demon") They were also commonly used for scouting
missions, conducting search and rescue operations, or conducting trade missions.
(VOY: "Fury", "Parturition", "Fair Trade", "Unity", "Hope and Fear", "Muse",
"The Void")
It was not uncommon for shuttles to be used as utility vehicles, such as was the
case when a Kazon shuttle was lodged into Voyager's hull, and a shuttlecraft was
required to extract it from the starship. (VOY: "Maneuvers") Another time,
several shuttles were used to remove the warp coils from Voyager as the ship
underwent a maintenance overhaul. (VOY: "Nightingale")
Shuttlecraft, life support, and the holodecks were unique for being the three
independent power sources found aboard Voyager. (VOY: "Macrocosm") When Voyager
became trapped in "the Void" in 2377, the fact was taken into account in
deciding their usefulness when considering using their warp cores to augment
power on Voyager. (VOY: "The Void")
Shuttlecraft were also sometimes used when it was necessary to avoid the
immediate detection Voyager would receive were it to enter a star system, as was
the case in 2371, during a visit to Banea, which was located in a war zone.
However, when it was deemed that "the stakes are too high to send a
shuttlecraft" back to Banea, Janeway opted to visit the planet with Voyager
herself, stating that "I want to show our flag to make it clear we mean
business." (VOY: "Ex Post Facto")
Later in 2374, it was determined that by re-calibrating a shuttlecraft's shields
to match the frequency of the B'omar perimeter grid dues to its smaller energy
signature. Since Voyager was "too big to hide," it was determined that "a
shuttlecraft with the proper shield modulation and its engines powered down
could drift right through without so much as a peep." (VOY: "The Raven")
With their advantages, these shuttles also came with their vulnerabilities.
In other cases when planetary visits were deemed too hazardous for a
shuttlecraft, Voyager itself would land on a planet's surface. This was the case
in 2371, when Voyager discovered the class L former-Briori colony planet, which
had a lot of trinimbic interference in the upper atmosphere. Since they could
neither transport through, nor use their shuttlecraft safely navigate the
currents of the planet, Voyager performed its first planetary landing. (VOY:
"The 37's")
When Harry Kim was held behind a polaron/tachyon grid keeping them from reaching
the planet Taresia in 2373, Chakotay noted that the crew aboard Voyager was "to
poke some holes in [it], but they're too small to squeeze Voyager through." When
Janeway considered taking a shuttle through, Chakotay doubted one would make it,
and if so, he didn't think it could handle the Taresian patrol ship on the other
side. (VOY: "Favorite Son") Years later, when Voyager was trapped in the Void,
Neelix offered to take one of the shuttles to scavenge for supplies, namely
deuterium, however it was deemed by Tuvok that a shuttle would be "too easy a
target" by the nearby marauders. (VOY: "The Void")
Later that year, Vorik, who was under the influence of pon farr, disabled all
communications, transporters and shuttles aboard Voyager, while the ship was in
orbit of the Sakari colony planet, preventing the away team to return to be
Voyager. (VOY: "Blood Fever")
Following Voyager's defeat of Species 8472, with the assistance of Seven of
Nine, Janeway instructed the Borg drone to fulfilled the Borg's end of their
agreement and tell the Collective that they expect safe passage through Borg
space, and offered Seven a shuttlecraft to use to rendezvous with the nearest
Borg ship. (VOY: "Scorpion, Part II")
During the "Year of Hell" that was experienced aboard Voyager in an alternate
timeline, Chakotay considered breaking the crew up and leaving Voyager behind,
figuring that their chance of safely traversing Krenim space would increase
setting the Voyager's escape pods and shuttles, each on their own course to the
other side, thus increasing their odds of survival. (VOY: "Year of Hell")

SPACECRAFT INVENTORIES[]
Voyager carried aboard several Type 6, Type 8, and Class 2 shuttlecraft during
her journey through the Delta Quadrant. (VOY: "Parallax", "Innocence",
"Threshold", et al.)
The timeframe for each of the above shuttles use were overlapped, Type 8:
2371-2373, Type 6: 2372-2375, and Class 2: 2372-2378 (but retroactively appeared
in 2371 during "Fury").
According to the Star Trek: Voyager Technical Manual (p. 20), "Voyager normally
carried two standard shuttlecraft, four of the smaller shuttlepods, and four EVA
workpods."
In other cases, shuttle modifications were carried out on Deck 11, as was the
case in 2373, when Ahni Jetal and Tom Paris kept busy "modifying one of the
shuttles, making it more maneuverable and more cool." (VOY: "Latent Image")
Other shuttle enhancements include the installation of transwarp drive and
coaxial warp drive. (VOY: "Threshold", "Vis à Vis")
In times when resources there was a surplus in the ship's power reserve, the
crew was capable of replicating the alloys needed for creating new design
components, which when utilizing their stock spare parts from storage, they
could construct a new shuttle in as little as a week, such as was the case with
the construction of the Delta Flyer. (VOY: "Extreme Risk") Examples of surplus
spare parts included EPS conduit, broadband sensor matrixes, and tactical data
modules. (VOY: "Alice")
From 2371 to 2378, Voyager transported Neelix's shuttle, the Baxial, which was
used in several instances where discretion was required. (VOY: "Caretaker", "The
Chute", "Workforce", "Homestead")
In 2375, the uniquely designed Delta Flyer was designed, constructed, and
carried aboard Voyager, followed by her successor in 2377. (VOY: "Extreme Risk",
"Drive")
As of 2376, despite several losses, Chakotay noted that Voyager had "a full
complement of shuttles, not to mention the Delta Flyer," when Tom Paris
prospected acquiring the alien shuttle Alice. Nevertheless, they purchased it
for three used power cells and Paris' jukebox, and though they had it for only a
short time, its restoration consumed many of Voyager's spare parts, deemed to be
emergency supplies. (VOY: "Alice")
On various occasions, Voyager had stowed others' craft in her shuttlebay,
including Jetrel's Haakonian shuttle in 2371, Vel's Akritirian cargo vessel and
Arridor's Ferengi shuttle in 2373, Kashyk's Devore scout ship and Y'Sek's Hazari
shuttle in 2375, Jhet'leya's Kobali shuttle in 2376, Irina's ship in 2377, and
Admiral Janeway's SC-4 in 2378. (VOY: "Jetrel", "The Chute", "False Profits",
"Counterpoint", "Think Tank", "Ashes to Ashes", "Drive", "Endgame")

CREW[]
COMPLEMENT[]
"We'll suffer casualties like any other starship. But you'll also gain new
crewmen as well."
– Chakotay, 2377 ("Shattered")
Voyager was launched with a crew complement of 141 stable members, to which was
added Tom Paris and probably other new crewmembers specialized to fulfill the
first mission in the Badlands, since Captain Janeway said "I started with 153
crew and lost my doctor". (VOY: "Caretaker", "Shattered") Her initial short
assignment did not call for a counselor to be assigned. (VOY: "Phage", "The
Cloud")
The initial transfer to the Delta Quadrant was costly for the crew, over a dozen
crew members were killed, including the original first officer, chief engineer,
the entire medical staff, and the transporter chief. However, with the addition
of the Maquis, along with Neelix and Kes, the crew complement rose to 152 in
late 2371. (VOY: "The 37's")
In 2372, Kes stated that there were "over 150" on board, which she called
"hardly barren", while disputing Tanis's observation that her life on Voyager
was "a cold and barren place." (VOY: "Cold Fire") The same year, Voyager gained
the former Q, Quinn as a crewmember, who committed suicide a short time later.
(VOY: "Death Wish") Another addition, this time permanent, joined the ship with
the birth of Naomi Wildman. (VOY: "Deadlock")
In 2373 it was twice stated that Voyager's crew was now at 148. (VOY: "Distant
Origin", "Displaced")
In 2374, Voyager lost Kes, but gained the former Borg Seven of Nine. (VOY: "The
Gift") Janeway later noted to Seven that at the time there were 150 aboard ship.
(VOY: "One") This number remained constant through the end of the the year.
(VOY: "Hope and Fear")
The following year, after Voyager's encounter with Species 8472, who were
impersonating the appearances of other species, The Doctor checked each member
of the crew to confirm their identity. Following the confirmation of Tuvok and
Chakotay's identities, The Doctor acknowledged that he had "two down, 125 to
go." (VOY: "In the Flesh") Later that year, it was stated that Voyager's crew
was at 152. (VOY: "Timeless", "Gravity") Between those two instances, Neelix
observed that at one point when Voyager had lost several systems, it only had
"four functioning lavatories for a ship of 150 people," and that "needless to
say, lines are beginning to form." (VOY: "Bride of Chaotica!") While mid-year,
the Borg identified only 143 lifeforms aboard Voyager. (VOY: "Dark Frontier")
Later yet, the same year, Voyager's crew count had dropped to 146. (VOY:
"Someone to Watch Over Me")
In 2376, Voyager absorbed the five surviving crew members from the starship USS
Equinox: Noah Lessing, Marla Gilmore, James Morrow, Brian Sofin, and Angelo
Tassoni. (VOY: "Equinox, Part II") Sometime thereafter, both Reginald Barclay
and Tincoo noted that crew size was at 150. (VOY: "Pathfinder", "Virtuoso")
Later the same year, they gained four more repatriated former Borg drones,
Icheb, Mezoti, and the twins, Rebi and Azan. (VOY: "Collective")
In 2377, following the departure of Mezoti, Rebi and Azan, it was still noted
that Voyager had a crew of 150. (VOY: "Inside Man") In all several species were
represented on Voyager, including Humans, Vulcans, Bolians, Betazoids, Bajorans,
Klingons, Ktarians – all native to the Alpha/Beta Quadrant. Of the numerous
Delta Quadrant species represented, were the Talaxians, Ocampa, Norcadians, and
Wysanti. Icheb, a Brunali, was the only Delta Quadrant native to return with
Voyager to Earth. (VOY: "Endgame") In mid-2377, Lt. Torres stated that there
were 140 Humans aboard Voyager, i.e., the overwhelming majority of the crew was
at least partially Human. (VOY: "Lineage") Later, Voyager's crew count was
stated to be 141. (VOY: "Workforce")
In early 2378, Neelix indicated that he had a hat with "146 sequentially
numbered isolinear chips, one for every member of the crew" to make a call home.
(VOY: "Author, Author") Between then and Voyager's arrival back back at Earth,
at least two crewmembers were taken off the roster, Joe Carey and Neelix. (VOY:
"Friendship One", "Homestead")
Although Commander Chakotay believed that Voyager could only operate effectively
with a crew of at least one hundred, various circumstances have shown this, at
least temporarily, to not be the case. When circumstances required it, the ship
has been able to operate effectively with even a single crew member. (VOY: "The
37's")
In 2374, Seven of Nine was forced to maintain the vessel alone for several days
while the crew was in stasis while passing through a nebula. Although she did
have The Doctor for assistance for the first couple of weeks, eventually the
nebula caused his program to go offline. (VOY: "One")
In 2377, The Doctor as the Emergency Command Hologram was able to engage several
Quarren patrol ships while the crew was brainwashed into working for various
Quarren employers on their homeworld, although he was subsequently forced to
retreat to a nebula to repair the damage the ship had sustained – including the
loss of life support – until assistance arrived in the form of the returned
Delta Flyer and Chakotay, Harry Kim, and Neelix, who had been away on a
diplomatic mission when the ship was attacked. (VOY: "Workforce", "Workforce,
Part II")

THE MAQUIS[]
With the destruction of the Val Jean during their first days in the Delta
Quadrant, Starfleet and Maquis crew members were first forced to cooperate with
one another to get their missing crew members back and then to merge aboard
Voyager to embark on their decades long journey home. Captain Janeway granted
the Maquis provisional field commissions with many filling the roles left vacant
by the vessels losses in the initial transfer to the Delta Quadrant. Of the
several key positions on Voyager that were filled by former Maquis crew members,
that of first officer was filled by Chakotay and the position of chief engineer
went to B'Elanna Torres. By 2377, about one quarter of Voyager's crew consisted
of former Maquis members.
The exact number of Maquis crewmembers on board Voyager was never explicitly
stated, but appears to be no more than twenty five to thirty in all, with some
attrition over Voyager's return trip to the Alpha Quadrant. In the seventh
season episode "Repression", Chakotay holds a meeting of "all former Maquis" in
the mess hall, and those present consist of an even smaller number.
Early in the ship's journey, Lieutenant Tuvok believed that with so many Maquis
on board there was a serious risk of mutiny and so designed a holodeck training
program to prepare for such an event. Despite Tuvok's concerns, however, the
opposite proved to be the case and the two crews, for the most part, integrated
well and so he deleted the program. When it was accidentally uncovered in 2373,
it was treated as entertainment and none of the Maquis took offense at the
subject matter, even after Tuvok revealed the impetus behind it.
However, such incidents such as Seska defecting to the Kazon-Nistrim and Michael
Jonas secretly providing information about Voyager to them, along with Lon Suder
murdering crewman Frank Darwin had serious repercussions for Voyager early in
its journey. After a while, Captain Janeway herself stopped distinguishing
between the two crews as Maquis and Starfleet and began thinking of them simply
as members of her crew, to the point that she was offended when Admiral Hayes
requested their "status" in 2377 and when Chakotay made a distrinction between
the two the same year. (VOY: "Caretaker", "State of Flux", "Worst Case
Scenario", "Life Line", "Repression")
Although most of the Maquis crew members integrated well into a Starfleet
command structure, some had more difficulty; this caused Tuvok to organize a
"boot camp" to get the insubordinate Maquis in line and familiar with Starfleet
protocols. (VOY: "Learning Curve")
News of the Maquis' slaughter at the hands of the Dominion in 2373 took a heavy
emotional toll on many of the former Val Jean crew, especially in the case of
B'Elanna Torres, who fell into a deep emotional chasm over the death of her
Maquis companions and engaged in some rather strange and even self-destructive
behavior that began to concern the crew. (VOY: "Hunters", "Extreme Risk")
CONSEQUENCES OF ISOLATION[]
Due to being cut off from the rest of the Federation, Voyager was sometimes
forced into complex situations that would have been far more straightforward had
they remained in the Alpha Quadrant. The lack of resources and allies forced
Janeway to make various moral compromises early in their journey, such as
deciding to allow the Vidiians to leave unchallenged even after one of them had
stolen Neelix's lungs as she had no way to enforce justice on the species by
herself or contemplate an alliance with the Kazon despite their conflicted
encounters so far. However, as the journey progressed, Voyager began to form a
more positive reputation of itself, due to such actions as their willingness to
sacrifice the ship to stop the Dreadnought missile and save a planet. Although
keeping to the Prime Directive in terms of not donating advanced technology to
less-developed cultures, Voyager often engaged in trade with other races and
became more involved in local affairs than might have been permitted under the
strictest definition of the Prime Directive, such as preventing apparent
asteroid strikes that the local planet was not equipped to deal with where the
Prime Directive might have discouraged such intervention before they learned
that the asteroids were artificial creations, even if Janeway never completely
disregarded it. The inability to rely on Federation resources for support
prompted the crew to initiate a system of "replicator rations" to conserve
energy - which also came to act as a form of "Money" on board - while trading
with some other planets for key materials, and at least one occasion saw the
ship run dangerously low on deuterium fuel until the dramatic encounter with the
Silver Blood on a Y class planet. (citation needed • edit)
On a more ship-specific note, the ship's crew formed a different dynamic to the
usual style for a Starfleet ship. While the most obvious consequence of this was
the fact that the crew had to stick together with no option to transfer to other
ships based on performance quality, a more subtle issue was caused by the
immediate need to rely on the Emergency Medical Holographic program as a
full-time chief medical officer after the existing members of the medical staff
were killed in the transition to the Delta Quadrant and no true replacements
were available among the crew. While there was some difficulties early on due to
the EMH's awkward bedside manner and the crew's own tendency to treat him as
equipment rather than a person, the efforts of the Ocampan Kes encouraged others
to treat him as a person rather than an object, even before circumstances
required them to rely on the EMH – who they came to know simply as "The Doctor"
– in crises beyond medical emergencies. While the crew occasionally forgot about
The Doctor during emergency briefings unless medical insight was explicitly
required, the senior staff soon made the effort to include him in staff
briefings via the conference room's screen where possible, his involvement being
made easier when he acquired the mobile emitter. By the time the ship made
contact with Earth, The Doctor had little hesitation in introducing himself as a
Starfleet officer rather than just a hologram, and the crew made it clear that
The Doctor should consider himself part of their number despite originating as
essentially a piece of equipment designed to serve a key function, accepting his
desire to explore himself creatively and even engaging in a long-range legal
hearing to confirm that he should be accorded status as a person. In cultural
terms, the crew also began to explore more independent options to sustain
themselves, such as setting up means of growing their own food to help conserve
their available resources or creating their own holoprograms for entertainment
as they wouldn't have access to the latest resources from the Federation.
(citation needed • edit)
Options were considered regarding the long-term necessity of a possible
"generational ship", and relationship regulations were adjusted to compensate
for the isolation, but despite the senior staff acknowledging this issue, only
two children were actually born on the ship throughout its journey, one of whom
had been conceived before the ship was lost and the other born just as they
returned to Earth. (citation needed • edit)
The episode "Course: Oblivion" also makes mention of a(n) (Silver Blood copy of)
Ensign Harper having a baby, though neither real versions of Harper or her baby
are ever seen. The pregnancy may have happened after the Silver Blood copies
were made.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION[]
The suggestion that this vessel would be commissioned and taken on its first
mission in the Star Trek: Voyager pilot episode "Caretaker" was notated in a
compilation of development notes by Jeri Taylor, dated 8 August 1993 (even
before the ship itself, the series, or the episode had been named). (A Vision of
the Future - Star Trek: Voyager, p. 186)
The first series bible for Star Trek: Voyager described the starship Voyager as
being "smaller, sleeker and more advanced than the USS Enterprise-D. It holds a
crew of some two hundred, and does not have families on board."
Ronald D. Moore felt that, as the setting for a Star Trek series, Voyager wasn't
sufficiently removed from the aesthetic of Star Trek: The Next Generation and
the Enterprise-D. During a couple of months in which he was hired to write for
the series, Moore postulated that Voyager should undergo drastic changes while
it was journeying home. "I kept saying, 'The ship should be unrecognizable as a
starship by the time it gets home,' that by the time it got home, it should have
had its own culture, its own customs, and the ship should have been, like,
customized for everybody and for many purposes [....] It just wouldn't look like
a starship any more. I couldn't sell anybody on that, though." ("Relics" audio
commentary, TNG Season 6 Blu-ray)
One idea which Michael Okuda and others discussed, early in the series run of
Star Trek: Voyager, was that the starship Voyager might have rows of plants
growing in hydroponic gardens throughout the ship. This notion was motivated by
the fact Voyager was so distant from the Alpha Quadrant and because the vessel's
systems might fail. Though the regular writing staff or the producers never
fully embraced the concept, Okuda suspected having many hydroponic gardens
aboard the ship would have been fun. Ron Moore agreed, saying it was among the
ideas he wanted when he was assigned to write for the series. ("Relics" audio
commentary, TNG Season 6 Blu-ray)
The model of Voyager (Lot #357) was sold at the 40 Years of Star Trek: The
Collection auction on 6 October 2006 for US$132,000 including the buyer's
premium (the winning bid was US$110,000). The winner of the lot, a man from
Leicester, England, was interviewed in The History Channel's documentary Star
Trek: Beyond the Final Frontier. He was also the winner of the USS Enterprise-C
model.
Photographs of the Voyager model in 2007(X)
A schematic lot of Voyager's bridge and engineering sets was sold off on the
It's A Wrap! sale and auction on eBay [2] as well as an engineering display
graphic which includes the labels deuterium supply, matter reactant injector,
antimatter supply, magnetic construction segment, dilithium crystal articulation
frame, warp flow sensors, emergency override, intercoolers, dilithium chamber,
magnetic quench block, and gas combiner. [3]
According to Star Trek: Star Charts (p. 82), Voyager traveled three hundred
light years in 2371.
APOCRYPHA[]
In the novel series, looking at events after Voyager returned from the Delta
Quadrant, all characters were promoted after their return to the Alpha Quadrant,
with Chakotay becoming Voyager's new captain, Tom Paris his first officer, and
Harry Kim the new chief of security. Captain Afsarah Eden (β) briefly takes
command of Voyager after Janeway is assimilated and killed during a Borg assault
on Earth in Before Dishonor and Chakotay resigns in grief, but he returns to
take command of Voyager in time to participate in "Project: Full Circle", where
Voyager returns to the Delta Quadrant with a fleet of other ships using
Starfleet's perfected Quantum slipstream drive. Janeway resumes command of the
fleet when she is resurrected by Q's son and Kes in the novel The Eternal Tide.
The USS Voyager makes several appearances in the video game Star Trek Online.
Set in the early 25th century about twenty to thirty years after Voyager's
return from the Delta Quadrant, Voyager is under the command of now-rear admiral
(lower half) Tuvok and assists the player in two missions, including responding
to a large-scale attack by Species 8472 on the Spacedock One and Qo'noS.
In an alternate timeline featured in the Star Trek: Myriad Universes novella A
Gutted World, Voyager was never stranded in the Delta Quadrant. It was destroyed
by the Cardassians using phased polaron beam weapons obtained from the Dominion
in the Dorvan sector in 2373.
