Brief history

Voyager is a small but highly advanced Federation vessel with a crew complement of 141, commissioned under the command of Captain Kathryn Janeway. On stardate 48307.5, Voyager was pulled into the Delta Quadrant of the galaxy by an alien entity known as the Caretaker while searching for a missing Maquis ship in the Badlands. Voyager's first officer, chief medical officer, chief engineer and pilot, among others, were killed during this encounter, and the Voyager was left heavily damaged. Kathryn Janeway (Born: May 20, 2336 in Bloomington, Indiana), a character in the fictional Star Trek universe played by Kate Mulgrew, was the captain of the USS Voyager NCC-74656 (2371-2378) in the science fiction television series Star Trek: Voyager. ... In the fictional Star Trek series, the Milky Way Galaxy is divided into four quadrants, which are further subdivided into sectors. ... NGC 4414, a typical spiral galaxy in the constellation Coma Berenices, is about 56,000 light years in diameter and approximately 60 million light years distant. ... Caretaker was the first episode of the television series Star Trek: Voyager. ... In the fictional Star Trek universe, the Maquis were a resistance movement made mostly of humans that refused to give up the planets that they lived on after they were ceded to the Cardassians as part of the treaty to end the war between the Federation and the Cardassian Union. ...


After combining forces with the Maquis, who had also been pulled into the Delta Quadrant, and battling an alien race called the Kazon in order to protect the Ocampans, Voyager began a long, slow journey back to Federation space. However, even traveling at maximum speed, it would take 75 years to return home. In the fictional Star Trek universe, the Maquis were a resistance movement made mostly of humans that refused to give up the planets that they lived on after they were ceded to the Cardassians as part of the treaty to end the war between the Federation and the Cardassian Union. ...

Ocampa is the home planet of the Ocampans, a fictional race of elf-like humanoids in the science fiction television series Star Trek: Voyager. ...


The surviving Maquis were integrated into the Voyager crew. Relations proved uncomfortable at first, but with their lives on the line, the two crews rapidly learned to work together. In the fictional Star Trek universe, the Maquis were a resistance movement made mostly of humans that refused to give up the planets that they lived on after they were ceded to the Cardassians as part of the treaty to end the war between the Federation and the Cardassian Union. ...


Voyager did not have a counsellor assigned to it due to the short term nature of its original mission. In later years the emergency holographic doctor would perform counselling services for the crew. The Mark I Emergency Medical Hologram, USS Voyager In the Star Trek fictional universe, the Emergency Medical Hologram or EMH is a holographic program intended to support or replace medical personnel aboard a Starfleet vessel or installation in case of emergency. ...


One of Starfleet's newest designs, the Intrepid Class starship is small in comparison with the Galaxy class vessels such as the Enterprise-D. Boasting two full holodecks, good maneuverability, high speed, and comprehensive array of weapons and defensive systems, the Intrepid Class starships fulfil the role of a long range scout and explorer ship. There is limited room for family quarters.

The USS Intrepid, first of the class, was used as a testbed for the remainder, USS Voyager herself was lost near the Badlands on stardate 48307.5. The class in general was the most advanced in the fleet, featuring much improved computer systems that included bio-neural circuitry rather than the traditional optical processors.

The word Nacelle is derived from the Old French nacele, which means a small boat or dinghy, and was in turn derived from the Latin navicella. ...


Seven years after being pulled into the Delta Quadrant, USS Voyager returned home via a Borg transwarp conduit. She was escorted back to Earth by a number of Starfleet vessels. Soon afterwards, Captain Janeway received a promotion to the rank of Admiral. Admiral Janeway was seen in the movie Nemesis. So far, none of the other crew or attached persons have been seen on any other series or movies. Star Trek Nemesis (Paramount Pictures, 2002; see also 2002 in film) is the tenth feature film based on the popular Star Trek science fiction television series. ...


Recently, a non-canon series of books have been introduced that explore the Voyager story after the end of the series. In these books, Chakotay was promoted to Captain and assigned command of the Voyager. Harry Kim was promoted to Lieutenant and continued to serve on board the ship as well. A Lieutenant is a military, paramilitary or police officer. ...


New technologies

Voyager, along with its other Intrepid class counterparts, introduced a number of new technologies to Federation starships. Perhaps the most notable feature was an LCARS computer system augmented with bio-neural gel packs. The new gel packs were designed to increase processing speed and better organize processed information, and are used to supplement or replace older isolinear optical chips in many of the ship's systems.

Isolinear Chips In the Star Trek fictional universe, the isolinear optical chip is a common format for data storage among the more developed warp-capable cultures of the alpha and beta quadrants. ...


Another innovation introduced with Voyager was the Emergency Medical Hologram. The EMH was a holographic doctor designed as a short-term supplement for the regular sickbay staff. It is programmed with a library of over 5 million different medical treatments from 2,000 medical references and 47 physicians. The EMH form is generated by a series of holographic emitters installed in sickbay. Along with generating the holographic body, the emitters also surround the doctor's holographic image with a magnetic containment field, thus allowing it to interact with objects and patients. Use of the EMH requires holographic projectors, but the EMH on Voyager was able to circumvent this limitation with a Mobile Emitter, a piece of 29th century technology that allows the EMH to move about freely. The Mark I Emergency Medical Hologram, USS Voyager In the Star Trek fictional universe, the Emergency Medical Hologram or EMH is a holographic program intended to support or replace medical personnel aboard a Starfleet vessel or installation in case of emergency. ... This article is about the photographic technique. ...


The warp drive was also improved with the introduction of Voyager. Conventional warp drive has a long-term deleterious effect on the fabric of space, gradually damaging it in a cumulative fashion until eventually a subspace rupture forms. When this effect was discovered by the USS Enterprise-D, the Federation enacted a warp 5 "speed limit" to slow the damage caused by warp drive. Voyager introduced a new variable geometry nacelle warp drive that eliminates the possibility of damage, thus allowing it to travel faster than the warp 5 limit. Jump to: navigation, search The Enterprise-D goes into warp. ... Jump to: navigation, search In physics, hyperspace is a theoretical entity. ... Jump to: navigation, search In the Star Trek fictional universe, the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) is the Galaxy class starship that is the principal setting of the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation (TNG). ... The word Nacelle is derived from the Old French nacele, which means a small boat or dinghy, and was in turn derived from the Latin navicella. ...


Voyager's maximum speed is Warp 9.975, and although this speed can be maintained for significant periods, a relatively limited antimatter supply and wear from long use prevents sustained warp at this speed.


During their years in the Delta Quadrant, the Voyager crew were forced to upgrade their ship using captured, stolen and purchased alien technology as well as technology acquired from the future. Major modifications were made to the phaser arrays and shield systems, and the holographic Doctor's program was expanded to allow him to interact with the crew, leave sickbay and pursue interests outside the world of medicine. Voyager also acquired several Borg Alcoves in one of its cargo bays as a result of successful diplomatic interaction with the Borg. Without these upgrades it is unlikely Voyager would have survived its time in the Delta Quadrant. In the fictional Star Trek series, the Milky Way Galaxy is divided into four quadrants, which are further subdivided into sectors. ...
