10 MORE Huge Revelations You Missed From Star Trek: Prodigy (Season 2)

9. Ship Of The Alphabet, Ship Of Old

The USS Voyager was always destined to become a museum, regardless of the timeline. To quote the Doctor quoting Admiral Janeway, "it was high time for an upgrade." It was also high time to add a letter.

A first look clip in August 2023 revealed the Voyager-A, a brand new ship for a brand new season — the first of the alphabet that spanned centuries. Still in drydock at the start of Into the Breach, Part I, the Lamarr-class science vessel — named for actress and prolific inventor Hedy Lamarr — did not disappoint.

The Voyager-A had twenty-nine decks, two schools, over sixteen holodecks, a Cetacean Ops, and a crew complement of eight hundred. It came equipped with a quantum slipstream drive. For the more 'traditional' methods of propulsion, it could rely on those sovereign-esque nacelles.

It had a rough maiden voyage, but Janeway kept her promise to Admiral Picard "not to lose this one in the Delta Quadrant". After Ascencia's defeat and the resolution of the temporal crisis, Chakotay took command. In an alternate, briefly witnessed reality in Cracked Mirror, Captain TUVIX was in command, with a crew of Enderprizians. 

Another ship we weren't expecting to see in season two, if ever again in Star Trek, was the USS Cairo, an Excelsior-class once commanded by Captain Jellico in 2369. It was lost in 2374, then captained by Leslie Wong, and presumed destroyed by the Dominion whilst on patrol at the Romulan Neutral Zone. As we learnt in The Fast and the Curious, the Cairo had ended up on a planet in the Delta Quadrant.

And for every ship, there's a shipper…
