History
The USS Voyager was launched from Earth Station McKinley on stardate 48038.5 in 2371. The ships's first mission was to track down a Maquis ship in the Badlands under the command of former Starfleet officer Chakotay.
In the Badlands, both the Maquis ship and Voyager were hit by a displacement wave created by the Caretaker entity, by which both ships are thrown 70,000 lightyears away into the Delta Quadrant. Severely damaged and without any contact to Starfleet in the Alpha Quadrant, the entire surviving crew of the Maquis ship was transfered to the Voyager to embark on the long journey home together. Among the crew casualties were Voyager 's First Officer, Conn Officer and Chief Engineer, which are all replaced by the former Maquis crew. The Chief Medical Officer was permanently replaced by the EMH, which was originally designed for brief periods of operation only.
Starfleet presumed the Voyager to be destroyed in the Badlands until 2374, when the ship's EMH was transmitted to the Federation starship USS Prometheus using a Hirogen relay station.
After the EMH reported of the Voyager 's fate, Starfleet's Communications Research Center set up the Pathfinder Project to find a way to bring back or at least contact the ship. This project was under the command of Cmdr. Peter Harkins and was supervised by Admiral Paris. However, the driving force behind the ambitious task to reestablish communications with Voyager was Lieutenant Reginald Barclay.
In early 2376, first contact between Starfleet Command and the Voyager was finally established over the MIDAS array. Although the periods of possible data transfer were very limited, Starfleet not only transmitted tactical updates to the Delta Quadrant, but also enabled private conversations between Voyagers crewmembers and their relatives in the Alpha Quadrant.
In 2377, Voyager recovered pieces of the Federation long-range probe Friendship one. Later that year, Voyager found a short cut home, by using the Borg transwarp network.
