Star Trek: 10 Secrets Of USS Voyager You Need To Know

10. A Very Intrepid Class

While Voyager's sister ship and predecessor, the USS Intrepid (NCC-74600), was mentioned in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Forces of Nature", Voyager herself would be the first of only two Intrepid-class starships seen in the Star Trek franchise.

The Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges" featured the second onscreen Intrepid-class ship, the USS Bellerophon (NCC-74705), a reuse of the Voyager CG model which, in some shots, even still bore Voyager's registry number. Scenes for Deep Space Nine were filmed on the redressed standing Voyager sets including the briefing room, crew quarters, and mess hall – the latter retaining the changes Neelix had made to Voyager's officer's mess to accommodate his added kitchen.

Voyager herself would remain fully isolated in Star Trek: Voyager, never making an appearance in another series, though she did show up in the non-canon Star Trek: The Experience ride film, Borg Invasion 4D, under the command of Admiral Kathryn Janeway.

Voyager also appeared in just a few frames of unique footage, firing weapons at a Borg cube, in the trailer for Star Trek: First Contact. This appearance completely contradicted Voyager's place in continuity at that point and the shot was never used in the finished film or Star Trek: Voyager. This odd appearance was likely a one-off VFX shot created for the trailer because the film's final effects weren't ready for the marketing campaign, but it actually represents the first time the ship was seen sharing the screen with a Borg cube.
