The USS Voyager was a federation Intrepid class starship operated by Starfleet during the
24th-century. Star Trek Voyager series aired from January 1995 to 2001, lasting exactly seven seasons.
It's the fourth series in the Star Trek franchise the vessel was capable of holding 150 crewmembers
and up to 350 people temporarily. It was one the fastest and in terms of power it was considered
a light to medium cruiser. Although only 345 meters long roughly half the size of the
Enterprise D, Voyager is more technologically advanced than the previous star fleet vessel
the fitting deck 257 rooms, 700 thousand metric ton voyager was originally built
at the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yard and launched from earth station McKinley.
Voyager was designed by Richard James and illustrator Rick Sternbeck.
For this comparison, I'm going to use the standard A350 airbus which is about
74 meters or 242 feet in length and is about 17 meters or 56 feet in height.
The original Enterprise was about 288 meters
or 947 feet in length and about 88 meters or 289 feet in height.
For the Voyager, it's slightly larger and slicker in design than the original Enterprise they
measure about 345 meters or 1132 feet and about 116 meters or 380 feet in height.
and finally, the much larger Enterprise D was about 642 meters or 2160 feet in length
and about 137 meters are 450 feet in height.
Let's take a closer look at the voyager. One of Voyager shuttle the Aerowing shuttle was
integrated with the hall, in the sausage section and although it was never used in an episode
the production team did develop a test footage of it leaving the vessel.
In addition, at the bottom of the vessel were the main navigational deflector dish
the observation port and two torpedo launcher tubes.
Like the galaxy-class, voyager's warp nacelles were below the primary hull. The ship overall
design in my opinion was a bit more slicker and elegant since it's smaller than the Enterprise D.
At the top of the saucer was the all-important main bridge and toward the front was the
transporter emitter pad. There were also several emitters that were located across
the surface of the ship so they can send and receive transporter signal in all directions.
There were multiple sensor arrays used to detect a a wide spectrum of optical electromagnetic subspace
and other signals including the forward and lateral sensor array.
At the front of the vessel was the auxiliary navigational deflector dish
On the wings were the Bussard's collector a pair of warp engine nacelles
and the impulse engine assembly. In addition
the motorized engine the cells have the ability to automatically pivot up into warp speed position
and at the rear, we can see the landing pad the shuttle bay door and the observation lounge
Unlike the galaxy class, the ship could not separate the saucer during an emergency. Both
the Galaxy and the Intrepid class can inject the warp core. If there's a risk
of the warp core being compromised; however this ability was only shown on the Voyager.
It was the first ship with a class 9 warp drive
allowing for a maximum sustained speed of warp 9.975 but only for a short period of time.
Due to time, I managed to only finish deck one to five
and deck 9 to 14. The Voyager had about 15 decks in total.
At the bridge, commanding officers supervise all ships operations ranging from vessel course
control to tactical systems this deck includes the captain's ready room the conference lounge
the escape pod access the airlock
the bridge and the head of the restroom.
On deck 2 was the officers' mess
the subspace radio transceiver and battery compartment.
The aft technical scanner and sensor suite
and the emergency light support system.
Located on deck 3 were the captain's quarter
the officers quarters
the emergency transporter room
the deflector screen and force field generator room and the upper hall access airlock.
On deck 4 was the forward tactical scanner and sensor suite, the battery room
the emergency life support system the sixth personnel transporter room
at the back is the AFT starboard torpedo launch bay
and structural integrity field generator compartment
Along the port and starboard with the dorsal forward phaser system
and the holodeck support machinery
On Deck 5 were the forward tactical scanner and sensor suite, the upper section tower deck
the sickbay complex
the science lab
and the emergency light support system for Deck five and six
Jumping to deck nine was the forward or saucer part of the ship.
It was probably the smallest deck on the vessel and is where the aerowing was located.
The craft was intended as a high-speed reconnaissance ship that was capable of
atmospheric travel and was also intended for defense and evacuation purposes.
Including on this deck was the Aerowing shuttle parking bay
the Aerowing shuttle fuel tankage the cargo conveyor hatch access bay
and the transporter transceiver compartment.
As we head further down to deck 10 we can see the stellar cartography lab, the main engineering bay
the petty officer's mess and the lounge.
the elevator, the force field generator and airlock subsystem room the fabrication bay
the astrometric lab and the torpedo launch bay.
Descending to Deck 11 was probably the second most important floor
the main engineering deck. On this deck you can find the shuttle parking bay
Under the warp nacelles were the warp core and plasma injector bay
the Bussard's magnetic field generator and collector bay and the Bussard's ionizing beam emitter.
At the rear was the observation lounge which was used as the meeting place for
the ship's senior staff as well as a special event and gathering.
At the center of the vessel was the primary computer room,
main engineering and a spare warp core storage well.
On both the port and starboard was the cryogenic cooling system room
and at the front and center was the primary deflector generator bay.
As we head down to deck 12 we can see the cryogenic coolant system room
the navigational and environmental system control
the warp plasma distribution engineering the cryogenic fluid storage bay
the engineering hull eps distribution node compartment and the anti-matter containment bay.
On Deck 13 were multiple sciences labs antimatter Jettison tunnel
primary deflector generated bay
warp core coolant compartment and a warp core coolant surfactant intake and outflow.
The center was the emergency transported room. It was used to
transport an object from one location to another by using matter-energy conversion.
And near the bottom of the vessel was deck 14, it had the deflector screen and
force field generator room six personnel transported room damage control command
offices diagnostic workshop and lab antimatter processing,
antimatter injector engineering bay and emergency life support of decks 13 14 and 15.
The USS Voyager was a 24th-century federation Intrepid-class starship operated by Starfleet.
Voyager is one of the earliest Intrepid-class starships constructed and they feature a number of
technological innovations including the emergency medical holographic program, the bio-neural
circuitry and the first vessel to test the class 9 warp drive in deep space. Furthermore the
Intrepid-class ship unlike many other ships can occasionally land on the surface of the
planet and have retractable land struts that was located on deck 15. So what are your thoughts on
the USS Voyager? Do you think it's a better version then the original Enterprise or the Enterprise D?
