Aeroshuttle test footage, and more voyager behind the scenes goodies.

This was a visual effects concept test to show the producers of Voyager what a launch sequence of the (as of yet) unused "Aeroshuttle" might look like. This special craft was capable of warp speeds and able to fly in a planetary atmosphere. Ultimately, the decision was made to leave the Aeroshuttle alone and introduce the Delta Flyer (this was shortly before the movie "Insurrection," which featured a launch sequence of the Captain's Yacht - the producers didn't want Voyager to "steal the thunder" of such a scene from the upcoming movie). The test was created by Voyager CGI Supervisors Rob Bonchune and Adam "Mojo" Lebowitz, under the supervision of VFX Producer Dan Curry.

The not-so-small AeroShuttle tucked up under the Voyager forward hull was based roughly on the Starfleet Runabout spaceframe, in hopes that if we ever saw it, we could modify the existing set from DS9. Ah, sadly, it was not to be, but we did get to see the ventral side and I did get to write a bit of imagined history for Star Trek The Magazine. The craft began life as a concept patterned after a manta ray and was nicknamed as such. That turned into the AeroWing, which coincidentally was a copyrighted name for a toy connected to The Mighty Ducks. Headscratching ensued. AeroShuttle became the in-house term.

One of the preliminary views of the ship based on some Runabout hardware styling, following an early approval from the producers for a smaller (smaller than Ent-D), slightly pointy vessel with down-turned pylons.

Here's a front view of the early, more angular Voyager (going backwards just a little in time). A few changes were made to the forward hull and the shape of the shuttlebay landing deck to make the third phase drawings and foamcore study model.

This sizing chart is still earlier than the first pic in this series, but it shows the thinking of the possible size for the angular third phase. I did a few versions of the chart with the ship at different lengths for the producers; this one comes in at 1250 feet. Other Starfleet ships are added to show the size relationships.

Here's a cutaway from the front of the angular Voyager, or at least a version of it, partly to get a sense of the deck numbers and partly to place standard bits of Starfleet hardware. Whatever sets got designed and built would be fit into the eventual blueprints (to marry up the interior and exterior), like Captain Janeway's ready room, the conference lounge, and crew quarters, but at this early stage it was still pretty fluid.

One additional angle on the foamcore mockup of the ship, just before curvitization. I may have mentioned this before, but this particular mockup escaped our custody, I assume about the time the art department was shutting down in 2001, but I can report that it is now in safe hands (not mine) and will be restored and a few dings repaired. A few other foamcore mockups I built, like a very early Type 6 TNG shuttle and the alien shuttle Nenebek, also went this way or that, but c'est la vie.

Once the perspective sketch of the curvy Voyager was approved, a preliminary set of ortho views was drawn up on our standard 24"x36" blueprint paper. The producers and the VFX folks were given copies of this one, with the added notice "Not for Construction - For Discussion Purposes Only." At this time, we still didn't have a final approval on the nacelle articulation, but I kept drawing sketches and played with the ship in rough CG printouts. As you can see, most all of the hull surface details were falling nicely into place.

Once the preliminary blueprints had been approved, drawn on 24"x36" tracing vellum, the real blueprints were started. The producers and VFX decided that the miniature would be five feet long, and that's how big I made the construction drawings. Full size, 60" long, on slightly longer paper. Luckily my drafting table was long enough to hold them. The first tricky part was getting the top/bottom plan view -and- the starboard elevation on the table together to match up. The other tricky part was having to reach three feet or more near the top of the table to draw with the t-square and triangle and a bunch of templates. Worked out, though. The general hinge area for the pylons is indicated, but the final look would be determined by the model makers based on how things came together structurally. The manta shuttle is still there, soon to be replaced. All of the other hull features are pretty much locked.

I like the Manta, but I can see why they scrapped it--looks very Cardassian.

What if Voyager didn't have its aeroshuttle?

• Thread starter Sumghai
• Start date Aug 23, 2012

As an Intrepid-class vessel, Voyager had under its primary saucer the unmistakable outline of a Captain's Yacht-like shuttlecraft - what Doug Drexler dubbed the Aeroshuttle / AeroWing - and would presumably have reused the Danube Runabout interior from DS9. However, it was never utilized in the shows, especially with the introduction of the Delta Flyer(s) in later seasons. If, for some reason, these Aeroshuttles were decommissioned fleetwide and there wasn't going to be a Captain's Yacht for the Intrepid-class, what would go in its old spot instead? I'm pondering this as I have recently downloaded a 3DS Max mesh for the Intrepid-class, and am thinking of retexturing it to remove the Aeroshuttle.

T'Girl said: I think that when Voyager departed Mars that the Areoshuttle was, for some reason, unavailable. And what the Voyager actually had was basically a "plug," to occupy that space, and make Voyager's underside aerodynamic in case she had to enter a atmosphere. Alternatively, again the shuttle was missing, and what we were seeing was the sliding hatch/hatches that closed when the shuttle was on a mission, the hatch would make it so the Voyager could land without the shuttle in place.

If Voyager didn't have its aeroshuttle, it won't have it.  

I'd like to have something ugly down there, to highlight the fact that this is a change of plans, a last minute addition, and to create contrast with the otherwise smooth lines of the ship. I'm weird like that. So, perhaps a protruding quantum torpedo turret á la E-E, a clumsy and unwieldy weapon that might end up being more trouble than worth. Or another type of deployable craft, but this time an uncrewed model - a Transformer-like, clickety-clack robotic device that would unfold after deployment into... Well, perhaps a floating observatory to be left behind at an interesting spot? Or a complex planetary survey base that soft-lands on a moon or an asteroid. Timo Saloniemi

The Wormhole said: In the case of the Captain's Yacht on the Enteprise D, there never was a need to explain why it wasn't seen. With the aeroshuttle they kind of do need to explain why they spent an entire episode decoted to building their own scout ship, and even went to the trouble of building another one when it was destroyed when a perfectly good scout ship should have been sitting lodged in the hull. So, "it wasn't there" is as good as anything. Click to expand...

Since there was no one on the show saying anything about the captain's yacht/aero shuttle, there is no canon information saying it isn't there in the first place. I am reading on here about people saying 'back stage' or 'someone from the show said it' but technically that isn't canon for Trek so as far as Voyager is concerned, that little old shuttle was there at DS9 at the beginning of the show and all the writers forgot about it for the entire show run.

Intrepid class

The Intrepid -class starship was a Federation design that entered service in the latter half of the 24th century . The Intrepid -class was designed for long-term exploration missions. At less than half the size of a Galaxy -class starship, it was considered "quick and smart." ( VOY : " Someone to Watch Over Me ", " Scientific Method ", " Relativity ")

General overview [ ]

When it was first commissioned, the Intrepid -class featured many innovations that were then available, including the warp core's tricyclic input manifold and variable geometry pylons . The class was also the first to use bio-neural gel packs and had the Mark I Emergency Medical Hologram (or EMH) system.

Capabilities upon introduction were equally impressive. The class boasted the best navigational sensors , and the highest top speed of any Starfleet vessel until the development of the Prometheus -class . Its multi-mission design was backed up by a main computer processor capable of simultaneously accessing 47 million data channels and sustaining 575 trillion calculations per nanosecond in operational temperatures from 10 to 1,790 Kelvin . ( VOY : " Relativity ", " Concerning Flight ")

The Intrepid -class USS Voyager had a stable crew complement of 141 when departing Deep Space 9 in 2371 . ( VOY : " Caretaker ") Throughout its journey in the Delta Quadrant , the ship operated with a crew of approximately 150. ( Star Trek: Voyager ) It is also noted that the ship can be operated with as few as 100 if needed. ( VOY : " The 37's ")

According to the Star Trek Encyclopedia , the normal crew complement for the Intrepid -class was about 140.

The width of the hull was stated in " Parallax " to be between 116 and 118 meters. The official length of this design however was exactly 1,130 feet (344.424 meters) according to Rick Sternbach . Rick Berman selected the figure from a range of possible sizes. [1] (X)

Class history [ ]

Voyager in drydock at the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards

Development and construction of the Intrepid -class occurred at the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards with the class entering service by 2370 . The second ship, USS Voyager , was commissioned in 2371 . It was the first ship to test the class 9 warp drive in deep space. At the time of its introduction, the Intrepid -class was considered to be the most technologically advanced out of all Starfleet's starship classes, though it would be superseded in that regard the following year by the Sovereign -class . ( VOY : " Caretaker ", " Relativity "; Star Trek: First Contact )

The performance of the Intrepid -class was well reflected by the starship Voyager . That ship was notable for independently, and successfully, completing an unscheduled seven-year journey across the previously unexplored Delta Quadrant , seventy thousand light years from Federation space, from 2371 to 2378 . The vessel was completely cut off from communication with Starfleet until 2374 and had no access to any Starfleet supplies or facilities for the entire length of its journey. ( VOY Season 1 through VOY Season 7 )

A newer version of the Intrepid -class was being used by Starfleet in the 31st and 32nd centuries . ( DIS : " Die Trying ", " Scavengers ")

TrekCore has reported that CBS confirmed the USS Voyager -J , seen in " Die Trying ", to have " the same class designation as Captain Janeway’s Voyager , but with 800 years of evolution beneath the hull. " [2]

Technical data [ ]

Physical arrangement [ ].

Close-up view of the Intrepid -class' primary hull

The hull configuration of the Intrepid -class adopted the saucer-type shape of previous starship classes, which of primary hull , secondary hull , and nacelles driven by the physics of warp generation and control. One of the Intrepid -class' most notable characteristics were its warp nacelles, which angled when going to warp, a quality which has not been observed in any other starship. The Intrepid -class used a duranium hull structure, a plasma -based power distribution system, and tricyclic life support systems. ( VOY : " Drone ")

Following the Starfleet standard, Deck 1 was reserved for the main bridge , with the briefing room and captain's ready room located to port and starboard sides of the bridge. Located in the front section of Deck 2 was the crew's mess hall and the captain's private dining hall, served by three windows that offered a spectacular view of space in front of the vessel. One deck below, located in the front section of Deck 3, were the quarters of the starship's commanding officer , served by five windows.

Rick Sternbach 's article " A Close Look at the USS Voyager NCC-74656 " in Star Trek: The Magazine  Volume 1, Issue 16 identified the structures at the forward end of the dorsal saucer as a diamond-shaped primary sensor array , immediately beneath which is a secondary navigational deflector dish .

The dorsal saucer section was covered by four phaser arrays , two of which extended from the aft curvature along the length of the saucer. The aft firing arc was covered by two smaller arrays, angled on the rear of the saucer section. The relative bottom of the ship was protected by two similar arrays as on the dorsal saucer section, extending to the rear of the saucer and following the curve towards the bow. ( VOY : " Caretaker ", " Basics, Part I ", " Unimatrix Zero ") Docked to the underside of the Intrepid -class' primary hull was the vessel's aeroshuttle .

The aeroshuttle was first seen as a separate craft in ENT : " Future Tense ".

The landing mechanism

An Intrepid -class deflector emitting a graviton beam

Further aft, the main navigational deflector dish was found at the foreside of the Intrepid -class' secondary hull. Located right above the deflector were the forward photon torpedo launchers . On the underside of the secondary hull were located three sets of plates that supported the warp propulsion system. The forward plate covered the reserve intermix chamber ; the middle plate contained the antimatter loading port, a large magnetic valve that kept the antimatter from coming in contact with matter during the transfer to the storage pods; ( VOY : " Caretaker ", " Projections ") and the aft cover plate contained the operational intermix chamber hatch, for ejecting the warp core in case of emergency. ( VOY : " Day of Honor ")

One of the few Starfleet starship classes capable of atmospheric entry and planetary landing, the Intrepid -class starship was equipped with antigravity generators as well as impulse and lifters strategically placed at the mass and stress points on the bottom portion of the secondary hull. Prior to and during landing or takeoff procedures, the vessel typically went to blue alert , indicating to the crew they were to assume their code-blue stations. ( VOY : " The 37's ")

With fifteen decks and a mass of 700,000 metric tons, there were 257 rooms on an Intrepid -class vessel. ( VOY : " Relativity ", " Scientific Method ") Entire deck sections could be jettisoned in case of emergency. ( VOY : " Warhead ")

Command and control systems [ ]

Intrepid -class main bridge

The main bridge of the Intrepid -class starship was ovoid and served as the nerve center of the vessel.

The Intrepid -class bridge was the largest bridge built for a hero ship of any Star Trek series up to that point. It was built on three levels, whereas all its predecessors had incorporated merely two levels each. ( A Vision of the Future - Star Trek: Voyager , p. 79-80)

At the bridge's rear was a large bank of consoles and data readout screens. Center of that area was the master systems display; control consoles flanked it on both sides. ( Star Trek: Voyager )

The Intrepid master systems display was designed by scenic artist Doug Drexler . Even though he usually worked only in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine 's art department, Drexler designed the Intrepid MSD for Star Trek: Voyager after being personally asked, by production designer Richard James , to lend a hand with graphics during Voyager 's lengthy preproduction period. Once he completed the design, Drexler worked in close collaboration with Wendy Drapanas , who executed the final artwork. ( A Vision of the Future - Star Trek: Voyager , p. 80)

Starboard of the information center, past the starboard side turbolift , was the station of the chief tactical officer . This area was maintained mostly for internal security and combat situations. Other systems that could be commanded by tactical included long- and short-range sensor arrays , sensor probes , message buoys , and tractor beams . An identical station was found on the other side of the bridge, where the operations station was found. This panel presented the operations officer with a continually updated list of current major shipboard activities. This list permitted Ops to set priorities and allocate resources among current operations. This was especially critical when two or more requests required the use of the same equipment, entailed mutually exclusive mission profiles, or involved some unusual safety or tactical considerations. ( VOY : " Parallax ", " The Cloud ", " Emanations ", " Elogium ", " Worst Case Scenario ")

Section of the Intrepid -class captain's ready room

Forward of the upper ship operations areas were doorways to the briefing room at one side and the captain's ready room at the other. There, the commanding officer could engage in administrative work with all relevant office equipment at hand without interfering with bridge operations, while still being close to the bridge in case of emergency. Also, this room was usually the preferred place where the captain could hold private discussions or receive classified communications. Aboard the Intrepid -class starship, the work desk was the focal point of the ready room, located ahead of the main entrance door. A raised level in the forward section of the room featured a small table, a curved couch, and a replicator . The wall behind the couch featured three windows looking toward the bow of the vessel. Compared with the much larger Galaxy -class starship, the Intrepid -class had a more spacious, luxurious ready room. ( VOY : " Caretaker ", " Eye of the Needle ", " Year of Hell ", " The Omega Directive "; Star Trek: The Next Generation )

The Intrepid -class could not execute an auto-destruct sequence if the secondary command processors were damaged. ( VOY : " Basics, Part I ")

The chairs of the captain and first officer on the Intrepid -class bridge

In the center of the Intrepid -class' bridge was the command area. Here, seating was provided for the vessel's commanding officer and his or her first officer , seated to the captain's left. Between these chairs was a miniaturized status display. Using keyboard or vocal commands, the commanding officer could use these controls to override the basic operation of the starship. Directly aft of this area, integrated in the handrail encircling the aft section of the central command area, was another command console that could be operated to perform more bridge duties. ( VOY : " Parturition ", " Maneuvers ", " Collective ", " Unimatrix Zero, Part II ", " Endgame ")

On Voyager , it was shown to be a console that assisted mostly in operations and tactical stations, due to Seven of Nine 's expertise.

Directly forward of and two steps lower than the central command area was the conn station. From here, the flight control officer served as helmsman and navigator for the starship. Despite many of these functions being heavily automated, their critical nature demanded a humanoid officer to oversee these operations at all times. During spaceflight at impulse , conn monitored relativistic effects as well as inertial damping system status. When the ship was traveling at warp speed , conn monitored the subspace field geometry in parallel with the engineering department. During warp flight, the conn console continually updated long-range sensor data and made automatic course corrections to adjust for minor variations in the density of the interstellar medium. ( VOY : " Parallax ", " The Cloud ", " Tattoo ", " Vis à Vis ", " Cathexis ")

To the right of conn sat the chief engineer . Though the position was far better served in main engineering , situations arose where the engineer's presence was needed on the bridge. The console allowed complete control over all engineering systems. Directly opposite sat the chief science officer at a similar console. From this console, LN2 exhaust conduits were vented to expel exhaust from the Intrepid -class. ( VOY : " Caretaker ", " Ex Post Facto ")

Propulsion systems [ ]

Main engineering

Main engineering aboard an Intrepid -class starship was located on Deck 11. The room was constructed around the matter-antimatter reaction assembly warp core , a class 9 warp drive with a tricyclic input manifold. ( VOY : " Relativity ") The core provided a maximum output of four thousand teradynes per second. ( VOY : " Drone ") The warp drive was designed to operate for up to three years before refueling. The reaction chamber was equipped with a compositor , which allowed recrystallization of dilithium . ( VOY : " Innocence ") The warp drive allowed the ship a top sustainable cruise velocity of warp factor 9.975. ( VOY : " Caretaker ", " Relativity ") It also allowed the ship to travel at warp 9.75 for 12 hours . ( VOY : , " The Swarm ") The Intrepid -class also featured a secondary warp assembly. ( VOY : " Alice ")

The secondary warp assembly was never seen as a set on-screen, but was featured in the MSD as a second warp core in the secondary hull of the ship.

The main engineering room featured two levels. In front of the warp core was a large monitoring area on the lower engineering level. Also located on this level was the chief engineer's office and an open work area for special projects or situational analysis. A second tier ringed the upper level of main engineering. A small, single-person elevator, as well as a ladder on the opposite side, provided access to this catwalk . ( VOY : " Caretaker ")

The class 9 warp core of an Intrepid -class starship

The main impulse engines on an Intrepid -class starship were located on the aft end of the pylons leading to the warp nacelles . Intrepid -class starships were also equipped with auxiliary impulse reactors. ( VOY : " Phage ")

Warp core ejection [ ]

In the event of a warp core breach , the Intrepid -class starship could eject the warp core . This procedure required the authorization code of the chief engineer or a member of the senior staff . The core was ejected through the ejection port on the underside of the secondary hull. Magnetic rails inside the channel accelerated the core once disengaged from the vessel and fired it away from the ship. Under normal circumstances, the vessel then moved away from the core as fast as possible under impulse power. ( VOY : " Cathexis ", " Day of Honor ", " Renaissance Man ")

Should the core not go critical, the vessel could recover it with tractor beams and careful manipulation. ( VOY : " Day of Honor ", " Renaissance Man ")

Tactical systems [ ]

Phaser systems [ ].

An Intrepid -class starship firing its phasers

The Intrepid -class utilized a ship-mounted phaser array system. The dorsal saucer section was covered by four phaser arrays, two of which extended from the aft curvature, along the length of the saucer and stop short of the auxiliary deflector incision. One smaller phaser array extended behind the bridge. ( VOY : " Resolutions ") The aft firing arc was covered by two smaller arrays, angled on the rear of the saucer section. The relative bottom of the ship was protected by two similar arrays as on the dorsal saucer section, extending to the rear of the saucer and following the curve to the auxiliary deflector incision. More protection was provided by an array that extended across the ventral engineering hull just fore of the warp core ejection port. Far-aft strips were provided on the underside of the variable-geometry nacelle pylons and under the shuttlebay landing deck on the underside of the ship for a total ship's complement of fourteen phaser arrays. ( Star Trek: Voyager )

Additional phaser banks included at least four separate phaser emitters , two in the aft torpedo launcher , ( VOY : " Dragon's Teeth ", " Prophecy ") one aft phaser bank located behind the second tractor beam emitter, in the aft section of Deck 14, ( VOY : " Think Tank ") and an embedded emitter on the ventral surface of the ship's right nacelle. ( VOY : " Unimatrix Zero ")

The Intrepid -class model only has thirteen discernible phaser arrays, with the large array strips being the same type-10 phaser arrays used by Galaxy -class starships, according to Rick Sternbach . [3] Other phaser emitter locations were seen in "Think Tank", "Unimatrix Zero", "Prophecy", "Resolutions", and "Dragon's Teeth".

Torpedo systems [ ]

The Intrepid -class housed five standard torpedo launchers (two fore and two aft, and one on the ventral side of the ship). The USS Voyager was loaded with Type 6 photon torpedoes in 2371 . The ship also had class-9 and at least four class-10 photon torpedoes and two tricobalt devices in her torpedo arsenal. ( VOY : " Caretaker ", " Resolutions ", " Scorpion, Part II ", " In the Flesh ", " Bliss ")

In addition, the ship also carried spatial charges , which could also be used as subspatial charges to cause subspace disturbance . There were also photon charges and photon bursts . The ship also had gravimetric charges , which could be installed into photon torpedoes, turning them into extremely destructive gravimetric torpedoes . Cardassian quantum torpedoes were also compatible with Intrepid -class launchers, with some modification. ( VOY : " Relativity ", " Think Tank ", " Elogium ", " The Omega Directive ", et al .)

Deflector shields [ ]

The Intrepid -class' deflector shields react under incoming fire

There were a total of fourteen external shield grids on an Intrepid -class starship. ( VOY : " Equinox, Part II ")

The shields of Intrepid -class vessels were superior to earlier designs. They included multiphasic and multi-spectrum shielding . ( VOY : " Flashback ", " The Omega Directive ", " Live Fast and Prosper ") The shields allowed the ship to survive near a binary pulsar for a few minutes and even a planetary explosion at short range. ( VOY : " Scientific Method ", " Think Tank ")

Tractor beam [ ]

Each Intrepid -class tractor beam emitter was directly mounted to the primary members of the vessel's framework. The forward emitter was located on the underside of the secondary hull under the main deflector dish . The second emitter was located at the aft end of the secondary hull in the aft section of Deck 14. ( VOY : " Parallax ", " Message in a Bottle ")

Crew support systems [ ]

Medical facilities [ ].

The main ward

There was one large sickbay facility located on deck 5, equipped with an intensive-care unit (ICU), bio-hazard support, critical care, a morgue , the chief medical officer 's office, a load-out of three standard biobeds and one surgical bed in the main ward, and a small medical laboratory. It is the same design as seen in Sovereign -class starships. ( Star Trek: First Contact ) The standard medical staff consisted of a doctor and a nurse , supplemented by the Emergency Medical Hologram , the Intrepid -class being one of the first to be equipped with this medical technology. ( VOY : " Tuvix ")

The intensive-care unit

Three biobeds lined the walls of sickbay's ICU; these were for patients receiving medical care and were equipped with biofunction monitors . Located in the corner of the main ward was a surgical bed, where major surgeries were performed and critical patients were treated. A large, sophisticated sensor cluster was installed in the ceiling directly above this bed. Working with a medical tricorder , the sensor suite could give detailed information about a patient's condition. The bed was also designed to use a surgical support frame. The small area that the surgical bed was located in could be isolated by a force field . If necessary, surgery could be conducted in the intensive care ward if there was an overflow of patients or if another patient was present to donate blood . ( VOY : " Phage ", " Latent Image ")

Located in the center of the sickbay facility was the chief medical officer's office. Here, the CMO was provided with an area to work in privacy or conduct meetings with patients, staff, and others. Its proximity allowed the CMO to be present in sickbay almost immediately. Located behind this office was a small medical laboratory facility. The medical staff or other associated personnel could monitor experiments or run tests here during their duty shifts. Just off the medical lab was located a tiny area for storage of the deceased. ( VOY : " Macrocosm ", " Basics, Part II ")

Recreational facilities [ ]

A holodeck on an Intrepid -class vessel

Crew mess hall on board an Intrepid -class vessel

There were two holodecks aboard the ship. Located on Deck 6, these holodecks were proprietary Federation technology, being able to impersonate matter even at the molecular level. ( VOY : " Phage ", " Flesh and Blood ") They operated on separate holodeck reactors whose energy matrix were incompatible with the ship's primary power systems; even when a ship was low on power, the holodecks could function on a separate power source. ( VOY : " Parallax ", " Night ") Though by 2376 , Voyager was able to draw power from holodecks in an emergency along with other secondary power sources. ( VOY : " Fair Haven ")

The series established early on that the holodecks were not a drain on the ship's main power supply to justify holodeck-use in Voyager 's situation. Star Trek Encyclopedia , 4th ed., vol. 1, p. 343 It had previously been established that the holodecks automatically shut down when ships' energy dropped below safe levels. ( TNG : " Booby Trap ")

On the Intrepid -class vessels, the mess hall was on Deck 2, Section 13. Some ships were equipped with four food replicators , with a private captain's dining room just behind the mess hall. This dining room could be reconfigured to serve as a kitchen , as done by Neelix aboard Voyager . The USS Bellerophon 's mess hall was also fitted in this manner. ( VOY : " Phage "; DS9 : " Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges ")

The mess hall was typically host to many social gatherings, including diplomatic affairs, birthday parties, memorial services, weddings, and holiday celebrations. The mess hall could also serve as a makeshift sickbay whenever that facility was disabled or otherwise overwhelmed. ( VOY : " Coda ", " Someone to Watch Over Me ", " Latent Image ", " Macrocosm ", " Homestead ", " Before and After ", " Year of Hell ", " Course: Oblivion ", " Memorial ")

A crew's lounge was located in the far aft section of the vessel's secondary hull, providing a view of space aft of the Intrepid -class starship. ( VOY : " Endgame ", etc.)

The aft lounge was only seen on screen in cutaways and through the windows in exterior shots of the Voyager . It was named in the writer's room wall cutaway diagram. [4] (X)

The Intrepid -class also had a gymnasium . ( VOY : " Eye of the Needle ")

Crew accommodations [ ]

Officers' quarters on board an Intrepid -class starship

All crew and officers' quarters (except the captain's quarters on Deck 3) were located on Decks 2, 4, 8, 9, and 13, with special variable environment quarters on Deck 11 for crew with special comforts. Although the Intrepid -class was highly advanced, the quarters in general were smaller than those of other vessel classes because of its smaller dimensions. ( VOY : " The Q and the Grey ", " Q2 ")

There were several types of crew quarters aboard:

• Standard crew quarters: These small quarters units were located within the primary hull and lack windows. They included a living area, a bedroom, and a bathroom. Primarily intended as shared accommodations for crewmen , the standard quarters were also assigned as private quarters to junior officers ( lieutenant junior grade and below); for example, Ensign Kim had his own quarters. The living area contained a replicator terminal and was customizable with a variety of furniture and decorations. ( VOY : " Good Shepherd ")
• Officers' quarters: These quarters lined the edge of the saucer section and contained a living area, a bedroom, and a bathroom area. They were generally reserved for those of ranking lieutenant or higher. Members of the senior staff were typically assigned quarters featuring a pair of larger, wider windows. ( VOY : " Meld ", " Juggernaut ", " Live Fast and Prosper ")
• Captain's quarters: The captain's quarters, located on Deck 3, were similar to the officers' quarters but were slightly larger. The captain had a large desk area and work terminal. His or her quarters featured five windows (below the navigation lamp), which offered an excellent view of space in front of the vessel; the captain's quarters were positioned below the mess hall . ( Star Trek: Voyager )

The location and position of the captain's quarters was confirmed in the writer's room wall cutaway diagram of the Voyager . [5] (X) Rick Sternbach commented, " The only place Captain Janeway's quarters logically fit was on deck three. It was the only logical place we could plant a bay consisting of five big windows. " ( Cinefantastique , Vol. 27, No. 4/5, p. 45)

Scientific capabilities [ ]

The Intrepid -class starship housed multiple scientific research labs , which included biology , medical , stellar cartography , and holographic research . ( VOY : " Day of Honor ", " Parallax ", " Revulsion ", " Fair Haven ")

Transport and cargo [ ]

Transporter rooms [ ].

Intrepid -class transporter room

The Intrepid -class featured three transporter facilities that were located on Deck 4. In case of emergencies, injured personnel could be directly transported to sickbay from anywhere in transporter range, including inside the ship. ( VOY : " Shattered ")

Like many Federation starships, the Intrepid -class' transporters had six standard pads located in front of a control console. Here the transporter controls were located in an elevated booth, and two officers could operate them in conjunction with a wall panel for more complicated transports. Like most systems aboard the Intrepid -class, the transporters utilized bio-neural gel packs in their processor systems. ( VOY : " Shattered ", " Counterpoint ")

Cargo bays [ ]

Cargo Bay 2 was designed for organic storage, with adjustable environmental controls . ( VOY : " Parallax ")

Auxiliary spacecraft systems [ ]

Located on Deck 10, in the aft dorsal portion of the secondary hull, Shuttlebay 1 was the primary port for entrance and egress for auxiliary craft and shuttles . Shuttlebay 1 was a large L-shaped room. ( VOY : " Alice ", " Q2 ") It had an arresting field to assist in slowing down incoming craft. ( VOY : " Barge of the Dead ")

Behind the main shuttlebay was an even larger hangar , known as Shuttlebay 2, where the construction, repair and maintenance of auxiliary craft was performed. Shuttlebay 2 could also be depressurized, and spacecraft could be launched from there. ( VOY : " Threshold ", " Extreme Risk ", " In the Flesh ")

The Intrepid -class starship was typically equipped with the following types of shuttlecraft: the Class 2 shuttle , the Type 6 shuttlecraft , and the Type 8 shuttlecraft . As well, it was also equipped with a runabout -size aeroshuttle , which was integrated into the underside of the ship when it was docked to the hull. ( VOY : " Extreme Risk ", et al. ; ENT : " Future Tense ")

Rick Sternbach has stated that the Shuttlebay 2, mentioned in dialogue, was the name of the maintenance bay. [6] The Intrepid -class MSD also appeared to show the silhouettes of two cargo management units stored a deck above the shuttlecraft service bay.

Background information [ ]

Some of the information in this article is adapted from Rick Sternbach 's guide to the development of the class from Star Trek: The Magazine  Volume 3, Issue 1 , under the Starfleet Technical Database banner.

When Rick Berman was faced with the task of deciding the name of this ship class, Michael Okuda sent Berman a memo featuring a list of approximately a dozen suggestions. Berman initially chose the name " Mercury ", but subsequently changed his mind, selecting " Intrepid " instead. ( A Vision of the Future - Star Trek: Voyager , p. 256)

Ronald D. Moore stated that he believed Voyager had a detachable saucer section . ( AOL chat , 1997 )

The Star Trek Encyclopedia , 4th ed., vol. 2, pp. 374 & 449 identified the USS Intrepid and USS Valiant as Intrepid -class, though they were never seen on screen.

Development [ ]

The process of developing the Intrepid -class began in mid- 1993 , during secretive development meetings that served as the starting point for Star Trek: Voyager . With the meetings having begun in July of that year, Executive Producer Jeri Taylor , on 3 August 1993 , noted in a summary of the discussions thus far, " The ship is a sleek, nifty, new-generation vessel, with some improvements, though smaller than the Enterprise ." ( A Vision of the Future - Star Trek: Voyager , p. 175)

Rick Sternbach and Michael Okuda were brought into the development proceedings in early September 1993 and, in late September, Sternbach started sending memos to Executive Producer Rick Berman , concerning the ship class. ( A Vision of the Future - Star Trek: Voyager , pp. 198 & 208) One of these memos, dated 25 September , was a four-page document in which Sternbach commented on the class' size, saying that a ship half the size of the Enterprise -D would still be "an impressive vessel" and that – if it was instead about three quarters of the Enterprise 's size – it would still be in good company, being roughly the same size as the Vor'cha -class or Ambassador -class ships. Sternbach also updated Berman by saying he was about to begin sketching "some rough doodles" for the class' physical configuration. Somewhat concerned about how to differentiate the class from past vessels while simultaneously keeping a sense of lineage, Okuda wrote a memo to Berman, two days later , expressing this concern. ( A Vision of the Future - Star Trek: Voyager , p. 207)

In the first draft script of VOY : " Caretaker " (dated 8 June 1994 ), the Intrepid -class was referred to as " a sleek bullet of a ship, built for action, capable of holding a crew complement of one hundred and twenty-five. " This was different in the final draft of the teleplay (dated 1 September 1994 ), which had a scene description that still referred to the Intrepid -class as " a sleek bullet of a ship, built for action. " The crew complement, however, was now said, in dialogue, to be 141.

Warp drive capabilities [ ]

According to Star Trek: Starship Spotter and the Star Trek: Voyager Technical Manual , warp factor 6 is the actual cruising speed for the Intrepid -class. " Dragon's Teeth " would support this, as the episode begins with Voyager cruising at warp 6, as does " Pathfinder ", in which the average speed of warp 6.2 was estimated as the speed Voyager was traveling towards the Alpha Quadrant . According to the text of the Technical Manual , warp 9.2 is supposed to be the maximum sustainable speed, while warp 9.6 is the rated top speed and warp 9.9 is a speed that can be sustained for only a few minutes. In a speed chart, the Manual contradicts itself by giving instead warp 9.975 as the top-rated speed, which could be maintained for 12 hours. According to the chart, the 9.975 speed corresponds to a velocity of 3,056 times the speed of light . This would be much slower than what warp 9.9 was canonically established to be in " The 37's ", well over twenty-one thousand times the speed of light.

Canonically, in " Caretaker ", " Relativity ", and " Barge of the Dead ", Voyager is specifically stated having the maximum cruising speed of warp 9.975. In the episode " Threshold ", when accelerating to and attempting to match warp 9.97, the computer warned of imminent structural collapse. In the episode " The Swarm ", it is only possible to maintain warp 9.75 for twelve hours. It is also stated in the episode by Chakotay that Voyager is not able to sustain its maximum warp at that time. The maximum warp is however used in several episodes before and after "The Swarm" for extended periods. Finally, the maximum warp is given a canonical speed estimate in two episodes. In " Friendship One ", the ship is capable of crossing 132 light years in one month at maximum warp. This turns out to be only about 1,554 - 1,721 times the speed of light. In " Scorpion, Part II ", the ship is capable of crossing 40 light years in 5 days at maximum warp. This in turn is 2,922 times the speed of light. The later estimate is closer to the 3,056 times the speed of light mentioned in the Manual .

The reasons for Voyager 's lack of ability to maintain optimal warp speeds are given in the Star Trek: Voyager Technical Manual . There were very limited refueling and overhaul assets available during the journey, and the crew had to allow the engines down time for cooling. Furthermore, according to the Manual , the 75-year travel time figure established in "Caretaker" was never meant to be a realistic estimate. It was based on the assumption that Voyager would maintain warp 9.6 or warp 9.99 and travel uninterruptedly directly to Earth . A more realistic figure of two to four hundred years to cross the Delta Quadrant and into the Beta Quadrant was the more realistic predicament at the beginning of the series.

Designing the bridge [ ].

A Jim Martin concept art for the Intrepid -class' bridge

After six years as production designer on The Next Generation , Richard James was no stranger to the legacy of Star Trek and the production requirements of episodic television. When given the assignment to create a new starship from the inside out, he had to start up from scratch. Nothing had yet been established, and thus for his first meeting with Star Trek: Voyager ' s creators and producers, James decided to push the boundaries of everything that had gone before. ( The Art of Star Trek )

The script for VOY : " Caretaker " described the Intrepid -class bridge as " the most advanced, impressive Bridge facility in the history of Star Trek."

Early concept sketches show bridge designs without the large viewscreen in the front of the bridge and command functions decentralized, obviously breaking the traditional bridge mold. However, by exhaustively re-examining the dramatic requirements and technological underpinnings of the Star Trek bridge without preconceptions, Richard James rediscovered the strengths of the basic template laid out by Matt Jefferies almost thirty years earlier. With the broad strokes of the bridge's layout firmly embedded in Star Trek 's past, James and his team went on to bring a new interpretation to the bridge. ( The Art of Star Trek )

The Intrepid -class bridge included eleven monitors, all of which were fed composite video from the bridge's video control unit. This consisted of a wheeled cart with five 3/4-inch video decks and a couple of computers. Usage of the computers was only occasional and varied between either a single computer or both of them. ( Star Trek: Communicator issue 144, pp. 29 & 30)

The Intrepid -class in Star Trek Legacy

The Intrepid -class starship was featured in Activision 's Star Trek: Armada II and Star Trek: Starfleet Command III , while the USS Voyager appeared in Star Trek: Voyager - Elite Force and Star Trek: Elite Force II .

In Bethesda Softworks ' Star Trek: Legacy , the Intrepid -class is a playable ship, with the USS Voyager as one of the possible names of this class of ship. Star Trek Online also features it as a playable ship for players ranked Captain or above, wherein it is referred to as a long-range science vessel. Star Trek Online also features, in addition to the standard Intrepid -class, three additional variants are available: The Bellerohon -class ( β ), with a photonic shockwave torpedo, for players ranked Captain and above; an Intrepid retrofit with ablative generators , for players ranked Vice Admiral and above; and the Pathfinder -class ( β ), a modernized successor to the Intrepid with a launchable aeroshuttle , also for players ranked Vice Admiral and above.

Captain's yacht

A Sovereign -class captain's yacht.

Ship views.

The captain's yacht was a type of auxiliary vessel installed aboard several classes of Federation starships in the 24th century , including the Galaxy -class and Sovereign -classes . On both designs, the yacht is launched from the underside of the saucer section and was used by the ship's captain to travel alone or to host visiting dignitaries.

While Captain Jean-Luc Picard commanded the USS Enterprise -D , he didn't often use the yacht in his eight years in command. This trend continued during his command of the USS Enterprise -E . While rarely using the yacht, he lost the Cousteau following a Son'a attack in 2375 and the Calypso was stolen by the Androssi and later destroyed in 2378 . ( TNG movie : Insurrection ; TNG - A Time to... novel : A Time to Be Born )

Star Trek: Voyager Cast & Character Guide

I’m so sad star trek: voyager didn’t do a planned borg zombie episode, jeri ryan's seven of nine costumes in star trek: voyager made no sense.

• The Star Trek: Voyager episode "Concerning Flight" referenced TOS's "Requiem For Methuselah," proving Kirk broke a promise.
• Janeway referencing Kirk supposedly meeting da Vinci reveals the interconnectedness of the Star Trek franchise.
• Kirk breaking his promise to not reveal da Vinci's identity underscored his more wildcard personality traits.

Star Trek: Voyager 's Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) revealed that Captain Kirk (William Shatner) broke a promise he made during a season 3 episode of Star Trek: The Original Series . Although Voyager and The Original Series didn't tend to have much in common, TOS was a source of inspiration for every Star Trek movie and TV show that came after it, being the father of the franchise and the originator of the Star Trek timeline. As such, Voyager had the occasional obscure reference to TOS throughout its run , including in the season 4 episode, "Concerning Flight."

"Concerning Flight" had an interesting premise that focused on the holographic Leonardo da Vinci (John Rhys-Davies) who had been introduced in the previous two-part episode "Scorpion." Due to an attack by alien pirates, the da Vinci hologram was stolen from the USS Voyager's databanks, and with the help of the Doctor's (Robert Picardo) mobile emitter, had an adventure on an alien planet along with Captain Janeway and Tuvok (Tim Russ) . While Janeway and Tuvok were working on reacquiring da Vinci from the aliens, they had a discussion about the real da Vinci that revealed a surprising TOS Easter egg.

In its seven seasons, Star Trek: Voyager introduced many new faces to the Trek universe. Here is a breakdown of the show's main cast and characters.

Star Trek: Voyager’s “Concerning Flight” References TOS’s “Requiem For Methuselah”

"concerning flight" references tos in the context of leonardo da vinci.

While talking about da Vinci with Tuvok in "Concerning Flight," Janeway referenced the fact that Captain Kirk claimed to have met the real da Vinci, although the evidence for the claim was inconclusive. Janeway's comment was a reference to the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Requiem for Methuselah," during which Kirk, Spock (Leonard Nimoy), and Dr. McCoy (DeForest Kelley) encountered an immortal being going by the name Flint (James Daly) on an alien planet. During the episode, Flint revealed that he had been many famous historical figures from Earth's past, including da Vinci .

Voyager' s creative team clearly did their homework for "Concerning Flight," making sure that the continuity between Voyager and TOS remained solid with a reference like Janeway's comment about Kirk.

Janeway referencing Kirk meeting da Vinci in Voyager is certainly an obscure callback, but also underscores just how interconnected the Star Trek franchise is. Voyager' s creative team clearly did their homework for "Concerning Flight," making sure that the continuity between Voyager and TOS remained solid with a reference like Janeway's comment about Kirk. This would almost certainly have pleased audiences who were aficionados of TOS and Voyager at the time. However, it also reveals that Kirk may have been in the wrong by telling people about meeting Flint .

Star Trek: Voyager Confirms Captain Kirk Broke His TOS "Requiem For Methuselah" Promise

Janeway knowing about kirk meeting da vinci shows that he broke a promise.

Janeway being aware that Kirk met Flint at all shows that Kirk broke a promise he made to Flint towards the end of "Requiem For Methuselah" not to reveal the man's identity. As a trade-off for leaving Flint and his android love interest Rayna (Louise Sorel) alone, despite Kirk being in love with Rayna, Kirk promised that Flint's secret about being da Vinci and several other important historical figures was safe with him. However, Kirk must have documented his encounter with Flint somewhere for Starfleet, or else Janeway would never have mentioned it .

Star Trek: Voyager 's other big connection to The Original Series was revealed in the season 3 episode, "Flashback," which established that Tuvok had served on the USS Excelsior under Captain Hikaru Sulu (George Takei).

Given that Captain Kirk is known for being a wild card character, and the fact that he was at odds with Flint over their mutual feelings for Rayna, it's not completely surprising that he broke his promise about revealing Flint's identity . While it isn't clear when or why Kirk discussed Flint, in Star Trek: Voyager , the matter had apparently become part of the historical record. Ultimately, Kirk breaking his promise to Flint likely mattered little, since Flint's immortality was failing, but it does underscore some of Kirk's less desirable personality traits.
