The Voyager has one of the most complicated chain of requirements to get all its loot. Scopely released the graphic below to help you follow what you have to do.

So basically you kill Hirogen Hostiles to get relics, which get you the mats you need to summon 8472 hostiles, whose loot lets you get Voyager travel tokens for the Voyager to mine Common and Rare Anomoly Samples, which get turned in for more loot.

In the refinery, you have access to ship parts for normal ships, the Amalgam, the Cerritos, the Franklin-A and the D'vor Feesha. This is by far the quickest way to get 4* and 5* ship parts.

There is a Silver Blood Voyager flying around the Delta Quadrant. To find it, you just use the summon ability like you normally would, and it has a chance of being summoned if it's in the system. Eventually you'll probably encounter it. When you do and kill it, you'll get a chest that pops up eventually in the Voyager refinery.

Silver Blood USS Voyager Star System

Star Trek Fleet Command Neutral Star Systems

Voyager in drydock

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 ")

First mission [ ]

Voyager leaves space station Deep Space 9

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 Badlands

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 journey

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 array

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 destroyed

A projection of Voyager 's route through the galaxy in 2374

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 Voyager

The journey of Voyager [ ]

Voyager and time travel [ ].

Voyager over 1996 Los Angeles

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 ")

Tuvok, Captain Janeway, and B'Elanna Torres observe the temporal anomalies on the ship

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 Flyer

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 Voyager s

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 [ ]

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 Voyager

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 [ ]

USS Voyager and Delta Flyer travel through quantum slipstream

Voyager and the Delta Flyer enter the slipstream

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 incursion

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 operation

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 home

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 display

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 ")

Voyager on display at the Fleet Museum

By 2401 , Voyager had been moved along with the Fleet Museum to Athan Prime . ( PRO : " Supernova, Part 2 "; PIC : " The Bounty ")

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. ( PRO : " Starstruck ")

Janeway kept a model of Voyager in her ready room on the USS Dauntless in 2384 . ( PRO : " Masquerade ")

By 2384, a subsequent starship Voyager , the USS Voyager -A had been commissioned and provided shuttles to rescue Dal R'El , Gwyndala , Rok-Tahk , Zero , Jankom Pog and Murf from San Francisco Bay . ( PRO : " Supernova, Part 2 ")

Depicted at Starfleet Academy in 2401

In 2401 , the Starfleet Academy grounds commemorated Voyager 's service under Captain Janeway's command on a plaque alongside other historic vessels, describing it as "one of the most storied starships in the history of Starfleet". ( PIC : " The Star Gazer ")

Seven of Nine would keep a model of Voyager in her quarters during her service aboard the USS Titan -A in 2401 . ( PIC : " Seventeen Seconds ")

While visiting the Fleet Museum to get Commodore Geordi La Forge 's help, Seven and Jack Crusher observed the various ships kept there, including the USS 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 credited the distinction to being " the only Federation starship within thirty thousand light years. " ( VOY : " Friendship One "; PIC : " The Star Gazer ")

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 : " Scientific Method ")

Defense systems [ ]

USS Voyager firing tricobalt devices

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 ")

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 lab

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.)

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 ")

Complement [ ]

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.

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.

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 .

USS Voyager

A legend on par with the USS Enterprise, the USS Voyager embodies the phrase “Where no man has gone before.” Shortly after its launch, the USS Voyager was cast over 70,000 light years away from home into the Delta Quadrant, unwillingly becoming the first Federation vessel to successfully traverse the Delta Quadrant and make numerous first contacts. During its seven-year journey, this ship became more than a research vessel - it became a home for its diverse and skilled crew. Apart from the emotional value, the USS Voyager is one of the most technologically advanced ships in the Federation fleet, including the upgraded sensor equipment and the capability of reaching a cruise velocity of warp factor 9.975, making it one of the most suitable ships for the exploration of the Galaxy.

Embark on a thrilling adventure, collect Artifacts, and uncover the hidden wonders of the Delta Quadrant by building the USS Voyager. Let your journey unfold as you delve into uncharted territories and rise as a legendary explorer.

How can you add the USS Voyager to your fleet?

To acquire blueprints for the USS Voyager, you need to reach Operations Level 30 and defeat Hirogen hostiles in the Delta Quadrant. Collect Hirogen Relics as spoils of victory, and refine them in the Voyager refinery. Once you reach Operations Level 34 and have gathered all the blueprints, you can build the USS Voyager.

The USS Voyager enables you to acquire Isolytic damage Artifacts and ship parts for various vessels, including the Cerritos, Amalgam, G4 ships, and more.

Advanced Sensors (active) uncover hidden hostiles in the Delta Quadrant, such as the elusive Species 8472. This state has a cost, Deuterium Canister, duration, and cooldown.

Astometrics Scan (active) scans a player's ship and reveals the location of their station. This state has a cost, Deuterium Canister, duration, and cooldown.

Deuterium Canister can be found after refining Hirogen Relics in the USS Voyager Refinery. Hirogen Relics can be found in the Delta Quadrant systems on Hirogen Hostiles.

How to upgrade it?

To upgrade the USS Voyager, you need to refine Exotic Biotoxins and Anomaly Samples . These valuable materials need to be refined in the Voyager refinery, harnessing their true power to enhance the starship's capabilities.

Exotic Biotoxins can be acquired from Species 8472 Bioships in the Velixys system, while Anomaly samples can be mined from systems such as FSEP-505, FSEP-3819, FSEP-247, and FSEP-001.

Important note : Species 8472 Bioships are elusive and can only be spotted while using Advanced Sensors.

USS Voyager research nodes will further enhance not only the ship itself but also provide fleetwide buffs. From the Below Deck Assembly (unlocks Below Deck slots in officer presets), to the Artifact Hunting Extraordinaire (adds a bonus roll of Artifact rewards in the common and rare Anomaly Sample refinery), Dismantle Tinkering (increases base scrapping speed for all ships), and Ship Maintenance Efficiency (increases the base cost efficiency for repairing all ships); these nodes are an invaluable addition to your buffs.

Recap / Star Trek: Voyager S5 E17: "Course: Oblivion"

Edit locked.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/3ef2f3f4_8761_4879_89cc_ecbc84a2219c.jpeg

The story starts with Tom and B'Elanna getting married each other, a happy moment for the crew... although they do not notice how the floors and the Jefferies tube below them are starting to ominously distort. (And wait, didn't Tom get demoted?) B'Elanna and Seven of Nine soon find out, though, with Seven discovering that the distorting section of the ship is losing molecular cohesion and B'elanna saying that it's radiation from the warp core that's causing the demolecularization. Then B'Elanna herself starts to develop signs of the same problem, as do a few other crew members who worked in Engineering. She eventually dies despite Tom and the Doctor's best efforts to save her.

Realizing that things brought on board the ship over the past several months are immune to demolecularization, Chakotay and Tuvok investigate the path of Voyager 's journey and indicate one particular event — their landing on a Demon-class planet where they discovered the "silver blood" — that may be the cause of the problem. Through an injection of a dichromate catalyst into B'Elanna's body, they get their answer — the whole ship as well as its crew are biomimetic copies of the original Voyager , and the warp core radiation, though harmless to humanoids, is killing them. Despite this, Janeway orders her crew to continue on their journey to the Alpha Quadrant while they try to find another Demon-class planet where they could make repairs.

As the ship continues to lose molecular cohesion and the crew continues to die, Voyager does find another Demon-class planet, only to end up in an altercation with a mining treaty defense ship that wards them off with phaser fire. After getting into an argument with Chakotay which results in him dying from demolecularization, Janeway orders the ship to turn around and head home for the original Demon-class planet that they came from while sending out a distress call for the real Voyager .

This episode provides examples of:

Almost Out of Oxygen : Right before the destruction of the duplicate Voyager , Biomimetic Seven reports that they have only ten hours of air left.
Apocalyptic Log : The Captain's Log becomes this as the episode goes on, as shown by Harry's final entry. "Acting Captain's log, stardate 52597.4. Our situation's getting worse every day. More than eighty percent of the ship is uninhabitable. Most of the crew are gone. It seems less and less likely that the few of us left will reach our destination."
Biomimetic Neelix suggests for their honeymoon, Biomimetic Tom and B'Elanna take a cruise on a sea of liquid argon . Argon is only a liquid between -189 and -185 degrees Celsius! Granted, this takes place on the holodeck, but given how often the safety protocols decide to break, this seems like a bad idea. Not to mention B'Elanna's well-documented hatred of the cold.
Janeway orders that the environmental systems be set to simulate a Class Y planet, in an effort to slow their decay. As mentioned in "Demon," such a planet has a temperature of 500 kelvin (or roughly 230 Celsius, which is hotter than most baking ovens). The interior of the ship and all its inhabitants, who are now used to a Class M environment, would not be able to survive.
The idea that everything on the ship bar a few items brought on board since its creation are just 'Silver Blood' imitations brings up a lot of headaches. How was the Doctor able to synthesise a compound that decomposes the Silver Blood to test B'Elanna's body if the catalyst itself was made of Silver Blood? Not to mention complex systems like the computer and warp engines remaining functional even as the physical structure of the ship is liquefying. Even their uniforms remain in pristine condition up until the end.
Artistic License – Space : Biomimetic Janeway and Chakotay are giddy at the idea of flying right through the center of the Milky Way galaxy, even though all the exploding stars and black holes would make it a navigational nightmarish impossibility . (Not to mention the superbeing living out there, waiting for a starship. )
Asteroid Miners : The biomimetic duplicates find a "Demon" planet, but it's already been claimed by a mining group. Biomimetic Janeway backs down rather than destroy the miners.
Biomimetic Seven lampshades this when B'Elanna tells her how to operate the warp core, something she already has extensive knowledge of.
Played straight when Biomimetic Chakotay and Tuvok recap the events of "Demon" to each other.
Beauty Is Never Tarnished : Averted across the board: every surviving biomimetic crew member has increasingly severe facial disfigurements as the episode proceeds and their condition becomes worse. Biomimetic Janeway gets it the worst, with her right eyelid being partially closed and the right corner of her mouth fusing, making her words almost a mumble.
Becoming the Mask : The biomimetic crew of Voyager really believed that they were the original crew, even to the point where they almost forgot that they were the copies.
Big "NO!" : Biomimetic Tom to The Doctor when he is told to return to his quarters after they fail to resuscitate B'Elanna.
Bookends : Harry was the first silver-blood clone in "Demon", and one of the last to survive in this episode.
Bottle Episode : Most of the episode happens entirely on the biomimetic Voyager , while the real Voyager only appears near the end.
Bouquet Toss : B'Elanna tosses the bouquet, and Seven of Nine catches it, which leads to this conversation. The Doctor: Congratulations. Seven: For what? Tuvok: You may not want to know.
Cake Toppers : The episode opens with a P/T bride-and-groom cake topper close-up shot.
Cerebus Call-Back : Whereas "Demon" had a relatively positive, classically Trek solve-it-with-diplomacy ending, "Course: Oblivion" takes the same concepts and creates a story with an absolutely brutal Downer Ending .
At the end of the episode, even though it was post-emergency, Tom calls Janeway "sir", a title that she rejected for casual use at the beginning of the show.
At one point Janeway says, "We've come too far to be stopped by dust." This is a call back to Year of Hell .
Chirping Crickets : On the fifth moon of Cytrax, a suggested location for Biomimetic Tom and B'Elanna's honeymoon. Biomimetic Neelix says that their song is reported to be an auditory aphrodisiac.
Closest Thing We Got : Later on in the episode, with the crew drastically reduced, the Doctor offline, and Biomimetic Tom suffering decay, Biomimetic Neelix gets promoted to Chief Medical Officer despite having only a field training as a medic.
Continuity Nod : Biomimetic Tuvok states that the Demon planet was located in "the Vaskan sector" — presumably named in reference to the Vaskan race , whom Voyager had encountered just prior to the events of "Demon".
Contrived Coincidence : Despite trillion to one odds, the biomimetic Voyager comes across the real Voyager , though they fall apart before contact is made. This is lampshaded earlier, when the Biomimetic Doctor tells Biomimetic Janeway that they should find the real Voyager , but she dismisses this as impossible due to the fact that they have no idea where the ship is, if they've been destroyed, or returned to Earth.
Deflector Shields : By the end, the only thing keeping the duplicate Voyager together are force fields.
Destructo-Nookie : Joked about at the wedding when Biomimetic Janeway mentions how Biomimetic B'Elanna requested that painsticks not be used at the ceremony. Biomimetic Harry: They're saving the painsticks for the honeymoon.
Distress Signal : Biomimetic Janeway orders one to be sent in the hope that someone will be able to help them. Eventually, the real Voyager picks it up, but the duplicate ship is destroyed by the time they arrive.
Doctor's Orders : With Biomimetic Neelix being made Chief Medical Officer after losing The Doctor, he warns Biomimetic Janeway not to have him call this if she doesn't let Biomimetic Harry take command of the ship for a while, given how close she was to total demolecularization.
Do Not Go Gentle : Biomimetic Harry and Seven throw everything the melting ship is still capable of into their effort to survive.
Downer Ending : For a show that depended so heavily on the Reset Button , this is easily one of the darkest VOY endings, if not the darkest. All the biomimetic Voyager crew die and their attempts to ensure that they are remembered fail. What makes it even more heartbreaking is that Ensign Harper of the biomimetic crew just had a baby born before the demolecularization started.
Due to the Dead : Biomimetic Janeway gives Chakotay this immediately after his passing, saying that he was a fine Starfleet officer and a good friend who wasn't afraid to tell her where she went wrong.
Electronic Speech Impediment : As the biomimetic Voyager degrades, all audio including speech deteriorates with pitch warp and static.
Explain, Explain... Oh, Crap! : Biomimetic Chakotay and Tuvok retrace their route and come across the Demon-planet, recalling the events of that episode. Tuvok looks extremely uneasy when they start to come to the same conclusion regarding the "silver blood" duplicates. Tuvok: I've often wondered what happened to them. Are they flourishing? Have they continued to evolve? Chakotay: Do they still resemble us?
"Everybody Dies" Ending : Everyone dies or is already dead when the duplicate ship is destroyed. Biomimetic Harry, Seven, and Neelix survive the longest.
Failure Is the Only Option : The biomimetic Voyager developed a warp drive that would get them home in two years. You didn't really think they'd pass the details of that warp drive on to the real Voyager , did you? Not that they didn't try to near the end.
Fake Memories : Everything the biomimetic Voyager crew remembered about themselves were all copied from the original crew's memories.
Faster-Than-Light Travel : With its enhanced warp drive, biomimetic Voyager could reach the Alpha Quadrant in two years, beating the original Voyager 's longer journey cruising at its top speed. Unfortunately, the Toxic Phlebotinum ruins their chance of doing so.
Faux Empowered Person : Biomimetic Janeway duplicate believes herself to be the real Janeway, and does things as the real captain would. Some members of the crew, such as biomimetic Harry, continue to put their faith in her. This leads to some bad command decisions which results in the destruction of the ship.
Give Away the Bride : Biomimetic Chakotay does the honors of giving away B'Elanna at the wedding, since he's her closest friend on Voyager .
Hand Wave : The biomimetic crew just 'forgot' their origins, and were also able to survive in Earth-like environments whereas in "Demon" the biomimetic copies were restricted to the environment of the Demon-class planet they came from.
Hero of Another Story : The duplicate Voyager had roughly ten months of adventures before their destruction.
The ship finding a Demon planet, which they hope will stop the degradation. Unfortunately, the planet has already been claimed by a mining group and Biomimetic Janeway backs down rather than destroy them.
Biomimetic Harry spotting the real Voyager . But it's then brutally crushed when the only way they can reach it ends in the Biomimetic ship's destruction. Their whole existence amounts to little more than a footnote in the real Janeway's log.
Idiot Ball : Even after realizing her entire crew is biomimetic, Biomimetic Janeway insists on maintaining their course for the Alpha Quadrant, instead of going all out for a nearby planet in an effort to save their lives. In addition, she orders the enhanced warp drive brought online to go back to the "Demon" planet, which drastically accelerates their disintegration. Though, this fits into the theme of "what is life?" She is aware of their origin as an unorganized blob of goop and points this out — they weren't sentient as that goop, and for an advanced form of life to return to is essentially a form of suicide. It's quite analogous to a human accepting returning to a few dozen glasses of proteins.
I'm Cold... So Cold... : The first symptom for Biomimetic B'Elanna is feeling very cold and asking the computer to turn the heat up.
In Medias Res : While many Star Trek episodes use this opening, this one takes it a step further. The audience doesn't even learn about the episode's premise until quite a ways in.
I'm Melting! : Biomimetic B'Elanna's body instantly reverts to a blob of "silver blood" when the Doctor injects it with a dichromate catalyst. The biomimetic Voyager itself disintegrates into formless particles when force fields holding the dissolving ship together fail.
Insane Troll Logic : Biomimetic Janeway's reasoning for why they should keep heading for Earth, which even Chakotay says is a terrible idea? "How do you know where we belong? For all we know, the real Voyager 's been destroyed and we're all that's left. For all we know, we're supposed to be living their lives."
Internal Homage : May or may not have been intentional, but: Biomimetic Tom suggests honeymooning in a holographic 1920s Chicago. That's pretty specific, but 1920s Chicago has come up in the franchise before— in an episode that also involves aliens wholesale deciding to imitate humans, including (at the end) a Starfleet crew . That was a much more comedic treatment of the idea, of course.
Irony : In almost every other Trek series, the warp core ejection system has never worked because it is too damaged once a situation arises where it's needed. Here, the system is still functioning even as the duplicate Voyager is falling apart, and its use immediately triggers the ship's destruction.
Killed Offscreen : The deactivation of the Doctor, the deaths of Biomimetic Tom and Tuvok, and the final destruction of the duplicate Voyager with all remaining hands are not shown onscreen.
Know When to Fold 'Em : Biomimetic Chakotay's death convinces Duplicate!Janeway to turn the ship around.
Lohengrin and Mendelssohn : Both are used in the episode, played by Biomimetic Harry, with the latter song being played during the Overcrank sequence where the rice is tossed on the newlywed couple.
Magical Defibrillator : The cortical stimulator was used here as one, though it was unable to bring Biomimetic B'Elanna back from the dead.
Male Gaze : We have a nice shot of Biomimetic Seven's behind in her Sensual Spandex as she crawls down a Jeffries tube.
Married in Space : Biomimetic Tom and B'Elanna are joined together by Janeway as per Starfleet tradition.
Message in a Bottle : The crew of the biomimetic copy of Voyager try to send one in the form of a probe to the real Voyager in the case that they don't survive their journey home to the Demon-class planet, but unfortunately it's destroyed before it can be launched.
Mistaken for Disease : People begin to develop necrotic lesions, food decays, and Biomimetic B'Elanna in particular becomes lethargic and feels cold all the time. The EMH thinks it's due to an epidemic, but it's actually because they're not even the real Voyager crew: they're the "silver blood" copies of the crew made back in "Demon"; radiation from the warp drive is causing them to revert back to goop.
Moment Killer : Biomimetic Tom moves to kiss B'Elanna after putting on her ring, but Janeway interrupts as she has to marry them first before he can kiss the bride.
No Body Left Behind : By the time the real Voyager arrives, the duplicate ship has dissolved into formless flotsam containing only the most basic particles to show that it was a ship, leaving the real crew with no knowledge of what this ship was or what happened to it.
Noodle Incident : An early clue that this Voyager isn't the real one is the mention of several past incidents, like an alien race that sabotaged their life support system and a battle fleet that tried to conscript them.
Phlebotinum Breakdown : As the systems fail, the biomimetic Voyager finds itself unable to drop out of warp at a critical moment when it's within hailing distance of the real Voyager .
Polyamory : Biomimetic Seven of Nine prefers this type of relationship over being married to a single person, which she sees as extreme monotony.
Principles Zealot : Biomimetic Janeway is so adamant with the crew sticking to Starfleet principles, despite the fact that she and the crew are not the originals, that she has her Voyager back away from a Demon-class planet protected by asteroid miners rather than risk getting into a fight with the miners and destroying their ship. Chakotay calls her out on this (to be clear, he agrees with the morality behind the decision but worries that they may be pushed to a point where that isn't practical if they don't change their approach), which makes her eventually realize that turning back home to the original Demon-class planet that they came from is the only sound option they have left.
Public Domain Soundtrack : Biomimetic Harry is playing a jazzy rendition of that old classic "Heart and Soul". Too bad they couldn't have done the T'Pau version.
The Roaring '20s : Biomimetic Tom's planned honeymoon in the holodeck with B'Elanna would take place in this kind of setting.
Shipper on Deck : Biomimetic B'Elanna suggests to Seven, who'd earlier caught the wedding bouquet, that she give Harry Kim a shot.
Shoot the Shaggy Dog : Not only does the entire biomimetic crew die, no one will even remember that they existed because their time capsule fails to launch and is destroyed.
Lampshaded re: Biomimetic Tom and B'Elanna: Seven: Given the volatile nature of their relationship, one might have predicted homicide rather than matrimony.
Also in B'Elanna's marital vow to Tom: B'Elanna: You stood by me when most people would have run for the nearest airlock. You were willing to see past my shortcomings...and to take all the bumps and bruises that came along with it. You made me a better person...even though I put up one hell of a fight.
Slow Motion : Biomimetic Tom and B'Elanna's departure at the end of the wedding ceremony as they are showered with rice is done in slow-motion as we see what happens to the rice when it falls to — and then through — the floor.
Biomimetic Janeway prepares chicken paprikash for her dinner with Chakotay, but it never gets eaten as the two of them talk about the current situation.
In-Universe when Biomimetic Neelix doesn't understand the point of throwing rice over a married couple in a wedding instead of eating it. He also thinks it should at least be cooked. Biomimetic Doctor: The idea is to shower the couple with a symbol of good fortune, not garnish them like a roast chicken.
Tomato in the Mirror : With the surprise twist coming in the middle of the episode instead of the end.
Toxic Phlebotinum : The radiation from Voyager 's new "enhanced" warp core is said to be harmless to humanoids...but turns out to be lethal to beings and substances made of "silver blood", causing them to demolecularize.
Unperson : With the destruction of the probe, no record exists that the duplicate Voyager were duplicates.
Wham Shot : The real Voyager calls up the source of the distress signal on the viewscreen... and it's a bunch of space spatter.
What Would X Do? : When Biomimetic Harry orders Seven of Nine to dump the warp core and Seven warns that dumping it while still traveling at warp would tear the ship apart, Harry tries to reason with Seven by saying, "What would Captain Janeway have done?"
What You Are in the Dark : Writers commented that part of they liked about this episode was exploring how the characters would react when faced with certain death, including Biomimetic Tom denying his own reality to avoid facing his pain while Janeway falls back on her own goals to avoid acknowledging the scale of the problem. Chakotay, of course, acts as the voice of reason and tells Janeway exactly what they need to do — and he posthumously gets the last word.
Widowed at the Wedding : Biomimetic B'Elanna dies before she and Tom get to enjoy their honeymoon together.
With This Ring : Biomimetic Harry needed a little prompting from the Captain to give Tom the ring to put on B'Elanna's finger.
You Are in Command Now : Near the end of the episode, with the higher-ups succumbed to demolecularization, Biomimetic Harry is the only officer in charge of the ship, with Seven of Nine as Chief Engineer and Neelix as Chief Medical Officer.
You Are Too Late : It takes the real Voyager just over twelve hours from picking the duplicates' distress signal to arrive at their last known coordinates. By the time they do, the duplicate Voyager has completely reverted back to the silver blood.
