Friendship 1

Friendship 1 (VOY-267)

Launched from Earth in 2167, the Friendship 1 probe had traveled to the Delta Quadrant by the late 24th century. The U.S.S. Voyager NCC-74656, which was also in the Delta Quadrant in 2377, discovered that the probe had crashed on an M-class world, where the inhabitants were nearly wiped out from radiation released upon its arrival.[1]

Dreadnought

Dreadnought (VOY-134)
Dreadnought (VOY-134)

Maquis designation for the Cardassian ATR-4107 tactical missile that was launched in 2370. The weapon carried a charge of 1000 kilograms of matter and an equal amount of antimatter, enough explosive power to destroy a small moon. Dreadnought was controlled by a sophisticated computer system that was highly adaptable, capable of evasion, and equipped with advanced defensive weaponry. Dreadnought was originally programmed to destroy a Maquis munitions base on the planetoid Alpha 441 in the Badlands, but failed to detonate at its target and was subsequently captured by Maquis member B’Elanna Torres, who reprogrammed it to destroy a Cardassian fuel depot on planet Aschelan V. One day after Dreadnought was launched toward Aschelon V, it was captured by the Caretaker and brought to the Delta Quadrant. In this unfamiliar environment, Dreadnought’s control computer locked onto planet Rakosa V, threatening Rakosa’s two million inhabitants. Torres, who at that point was aboard the U.S.S. Voyager NCC-74656, intercepted Dreadnought in early 2372 and was successful in destroying it before it could reach Rakosa V.[1]

The D-7 was probably the most infamous cruiser ever to stalk the spacelanes. These ships were associated with death and destruction on a scale second to none. When first introduced in late 2244, these vessels captured the minds and spirits of the Klingon commanders so fully that for many years they were viewed by outsiders as the symbol of Klingon tyrrany. This design was developed from the earlier d’ama (D-4) class cruiser and incorporated all of its most popular features. The command pod mounted forward on the boom assembly and the wing-like main hull were altered slightly, but all of the basic concepts were retained.[4]

Excelsior class refit (ST-07)

In October 2284, the U.S.S. Excelsior NX-2000, the first of a new class, was commissioned. This vessel was the newest in Starfleet, and it incorporated many experimental operating systems.[3] Originally designed as a test-bed for the experimental transwarp drive, the Excelsior was called “The Great Experiment” by many in influential circles.[1] These ships were the newest of any in Starfleet and incorporated experimental technology in most of the components required to operate a starship. With so many new systems aboard these vessels, the process of testing them was slow. Prior to being installed, each component was tested and retested until it met standards. Nevertheless, when the Excelsior was taken out for trials, the evaluation teams were constantly faced with primary system malfunctions that would not allow any of the secondary or backup systems to be tested. This caused the evaluators to deal with these new components on a one-at-a-time basis, and thus creating time delays in the commissioning of the class.[3]

The Excelsior class underwent a number of late design changes when the transwarp project ultimately failed. While transwarp was never realized, designers were unwilling to cast aside what was otherwise a sound cruiser design. The transwarp engines were removed in favor of conventional linear warp drive engines. The Excelsior class could cruise at Warp 8, sustain speeds of Warp 10 for several hours, and reach Warp 13 when necessary. This made it by far the fastest Starfleet vessel for almost five decades.[31]

V201 Timeline

In 2390, the Galaxy-class Challenger, under the command of Captain Geordi La Forge, tried unsuccessfully to prevent Chakotay and Harry Kim from changing history.[1]

STO Timeline

Captain Geordi La Forge, who had previously served as first officer and chief engineer aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-E under Captain Data, was named commanding officer of the Challenger in 2397; he was succeeded as chief engineer on the Enterprise by Lieutenant Commander Nog.[2]

Named for the early human spacecraft, destroyed in 1986 in an explosion that claimed the lives of seven astronauts shortly after launch.

Borg Sphere

Sphere-shaped Borg vessel. In an attempt to assimilate the Earth of 2063, one such craft created a temporal vortex during a battle with Starfleet.[1] The U.S.S. Voyager NCC-74656 later stole a transwarp coil from a disabled sphere in the Delta Quadrant.[2]

Borg Diamond

Borg Diamond (Legacy)
Borg Diamond (Legacy)

A diamond-shaped vessel holding the “lair” of the Borg Queen. In 2375, the Borg Queen vessel originating from the Borg Unicomplex traveled to Grid 532 to participate in the assimilation of Species 10026. While the Borg Queen vessel was not normally present at such events, ex-drone Seven of Nine was aboard and the Queen wished to refamiliarize her with assimilation procedures. The plan was to benefit from Seven’s experience as an individual to eventually assimilate Species 5618—Humans. The plan failed, however, as Seven refused to betray her species and she was rescued by Captain Janeway and others aboard the Delta Flyer. The Borg Queen vessel pursued the Delta Flyer through a transwarp conduit, but was destroyed when the U.S.S. Voyager NCC-74656 collapsed the conduit with photon torpedoes.[1]

Borg Probe

A small oblong-shaped Borg vessel about half the size of an Intrepid (II) class Federation starship, with about the same amount of firepower. In 2375, a Borg probe confronted the U.S.S. Voyager NCC-74656 in an attempt to assimilate the ship and its crew. Voyager fought back, and at one point during the battle the probe was forced to remodulate its shields. During this vulnerable moment, Voyager beamed a photon torpedo aboard the probe which detonated near the power matrix. The explosion caused a chain reaction which completely destroyed the vessel. The probe left behind eight kilotons of debris, from which Voyager salvaged a variety of equipment including two power nodes, 12 plasma conduits and what appeared to be an auto-regeneration unit made of some kind of lightweight polytrinic alloy. Also found was a servo-armature from a Medical Repair Drone, which included a laser scalpel, biomolecular scanner and micro-suture all rolled into one instrument, much to the excitement of Voyager‘s Doctor. A transwarp coil was recovered, but it had been intentionally damaged beyond repair by the Borg, who had fused its field regulator, per Borg protocol when a vessel was critically damaged. Also salvaged from the debris were a pair of data nodes, which contained tactical information that Voyager used to locate a disabled Borg scout ship and plan a “heist” of a working transwarp coil.[1]
