Star Trek Ship Names Ordered by Class – From TOS to Picard

Share the Universe!

For those who consider themselves as die-hard fans of the popular sci-fi Star Trek universe, you may already know that Star Trek’s 24 th century has some astounding array of Starfleet ships that we can stare at with admiration. Star Trek has had strong starships designs since the very beginning. Let’s dig a bit deeper to know more.

The history of Star Trek dates back to 1966-1967 with The Original Series Season 1. All this began when a writer and former Air Force pilot, Gene Roddenberry , wanted to make a science fiction TV show that featured characters that show humanity at its best.

Since then, there has been no looking back as Star Trek has become one of the most popular sci-fi television shows of all time. While it has been entertaining its audience for decades and is globally known for its genre of science fiction, it’s also known for it’s the great space battles with different alien species.

Over the years, the show came up with dozens of iconic starship designs, many of which are even known to people who don’t follow Star Trek. The idea behind the creation of these ships was to represent the diversity of various races, cultures, and factions. So, whether it’s the TOS ( The Original Series ), Star Trek: The Next Generation (TNG) , Deep Space Nine (DS9), Voyager, or Picard , the show has always lived up to the expectation of producing some vast fleets that demonstrated the abilities at their best.

If you have to rank these astonishing ships, what do you think? Which are the most powerful ships of all? Not sure about the answer? No problem, here we are, revealing a list of 30 most powerful Star Trek ship names today.

From TOS to Picard, we’ve covered and presented some of the powerful Star Trek ships . Their rankings are based on specifications, including speed, size, and power. So, are you ready and excited to know their names? Let’s begin!

See awesome great details in this book Ships of the Line on amazon.

List of Powerful Star Trek Ship Names Revealed

30. ss botany bay.

Built in the late 20 th century by the United States of America, this DY-100-class sleeper ship played a great role in helping Khan Noonien Singh and his group to escape Earth after being defeated at Eugenics Wars . You can explore the nuclear power of this ship and know more about it by watching the prime timeline of Star Trek – TOS.

29. Phoenix

Phoenix, an Earth spaceship, was constructed during the mid-21 st century. The interesting fact about this ship is that it used to be a nuclear missile. Yes, Lily Sloane and Zefram Cochrane later converted this missile into a prototype spaceship. Isn’t it amazing? That’s not it; it is also known to be the first human-made spacecraft launched from Earth to travel faster than the speed of light by using warp-drive technology.

28. Friendship 1

You will come across this Star Trek ship name in a Star Trek: Voyager episode. Launched in 2067 by the United Earth Space Probe Agency, four years after the Phoenix’s game-changing flight, this deep space probe came to find other species. The Friendship 1 ship’s exquisite feature is that it contained a lot of scientific, technological, and cultural information that helped to seek out new worlds and new civilizations.

27. USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-J)

You can get a glimpse of this starship in the “Azati Prime” – The Star Trek: Enterprise episode. It bags one of the top spots in the list as it boasts some of the advanced technologies. However, it is not that popular due to two reasons – one, it just has a brief glimpse, and second, a time-traveling Captain said that the Enterprise-J exists in a possible future timeline.

26. Galileo (NCC-1701-7)

Assigned to the USS Enterprise in the 2260s, Galileo was a Class F shuttlecraft and bore the name of the great astronomer and mathematician of all time. They first used a telescope – Galileo Galilei. However, this craft was lost near Taurus II in 2267, at the time of the Murasaki Effect investigation. It was then replaced with the same numbered craft that was dubbed as the ‘Galileo II.’

25. USS Raven (NAR-32450)

This Federation exploration vessel was the home and the workplace of Magnus and Erin Hansen, the Borg-studying scientists. Check out its remains in the Star Trek: Voyager episode, “The Raven.”

24. Deep Space Nine

While this isn’t technically a ship, its a space station, we though it was important to include. There are two sides to this. On one side, it is simply an old Cardassian mining station for the same-titled TV series. While on the other hand, the same mining station is modified and reconstructed into a battle station with 5,000 photon torpedoes in Deep Space Nine – Season 4 of Star Trek.

23. USS Defiant (NX-74205)

Built for Borg battles, this amazing Federation craft was armed with a cloaking device that was lent from the Romulan Star Empire. It is known to be one of the successful warships that you can see for yourself in Star Trek: Deep Space Nin e as well as Star Trek: First Contact . Also know for it’s “mining” capabilities in games.

22. La Sirena

Memory Alpha states that this newcomer Star Trek ship is a Kaplan F17 Speed Freighter, a class of civilian ships equipped with phasers and shields but a whole lot of hologram capacities. Not to forget, it is the only entry from Star Trek: Picard.

21. USS Franklin (NX-326)

This ship is small, but at the same time, tough, just like other Freedom-class starships. You can see this 22 nd -century ship in the Kelvin timeline of Star Trek: Beyond, seat belts. It is equipped with stealth technology, cannons, and torpedoes, and its warp four power was used to get to the Starbase Yorktown from the planet, Altamid .

20. Enterprise (NX-01)

In the 22nd century of Star Trek: Enterprise , you can see how this starship has the potential to carry a huge crew of almost 100 people. It is remembered as a victory of Zefram Cochrane’s theories of space travel.

19. Sh’Raan

Even though the Vulcans are known better than combat ships for logic, the pre-Federation years have seen Spock’s forerunners ready to throw down in Sh’Raan – the Star Trek: Enterprise -era starship that was capable of Warp 7 power.

18. USS Shenzhou (NCC-1227)

This Walker-class Federation USS starship was introduced in the 23 rd century, and you can see it in Star Trek: Discovery. It had everything, including phasers, cannons, and torpedoes, but unfortunately, it got smashed in the Battle of the Binary Stars that occurred in 2256.

17. Sarcophagus

Bigger than the Shenzhou, Klingon starship of the 23rd-century can be witnessed in the Star Trek: Discovery pilot. One interesting feature of the Sarcophagus is that its armor contains the remains of Klingon warriors in the form of a patchwork of caskets.

16. Jem’Hadar Warship

Simply put, it’s all interconnected when we talk about this warship. The story of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is incomplete without the Dominion, and the story of Dominion is incomplete without the Jem’Hadar warship, i.e., its military division.

15. USS Prometheus (NCC-71201)

This Nebula-class Federation USS starship is in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine . It was introduced as a floating science trial. It not only gets the job done but is also famous for its magnificent goal of reigniting a dead sun.

14. USS Excelsior (NX-2000)

It is featured in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country as the first Federation starship having trans-warp drive. This 23rd-century ship was operated by Starfleet and served Captain Hikaru Sulu , who commanded the Excelsior from 2290 to at least 2320.

13. D7-class Battle Cruiser

This Klingon starship is considered the largest of its era as it was 748 feet long and had 430 crew members. Although many other cooler introductions came along in the 24 th century, this starship still holds a higher rank. It is also termed as ‘ the pinnacle of combat warships in the 23rd century ’ as per StarTrek.com.

12. Scimitar

This Reman-made ship boasts about a lot of things. Featuring in Star Trek: Nemesis , it is loaded with photon-torpedo bays and disruptor banks. Additionally, Scimitar can convert itself into a Thalaron weapon. It is similar to a nuclear weapon but has far more destructive attributes than the latter.

11. Vor’Cha-class Attack Cruiser

This was yet another heavily armed Klingon starship used during the middle and later part of the 24 th century. It was almost as long as a Galaxy-class Federation craft and was similarly used as the backbone of the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance fleet in the mirror universe.

10. USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-A)

Have you seen the original iconic Enterprise? USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-A) is a Constitution-class starship that is essentially a replica of it. It was first featured in the prime timeline of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home . Additionally, it also appears in the Kelvin timeline of the J.J. Abrams-era Star Trek films.

9. USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-B)

USS Enterprise-B is a polished version of the prime timeline’s Constitution-class Enterprise. This Excelsior-class Federation starship was introduced in the 23rd century and can be seen in Star Trek Generations .

8. USS Enterprise (NCC-1701), Prime Timeline

The USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) was a 23rd century Federation Constitution-class starship launched in 2258. Officially Federation was a flagship, this starship was operated by Starfleet. Unfortunately, it was destroyed during the planet Altamid battle in 2263.

7. USS Enterprise (NCC-1701), Kelvin Timeline

This starship was introduced in the 23rd century, so it has the potential of more than warp 8. In fact, it became the first Federation starship to start a five-year mission under the command of Captain James T. Kirk . It is said to be more than double the size of the Prime Timeline’s Enterprise.

6. Romulan Warbird

Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew were awestruck by this Romulan Warbird for obvious reasons in Star Trek: The Next Generation . According to StarTrek.com, it is considered to be the largest and the most powerful Romulan spacecraft.

5. Negh’Var Warship

Negh’Var Warship was the largest class of starship, running more than 2,250 massive feet long. This powerful starship was operated as the emperor’s flagship in the Klingon Empire during the late 24 th century.

4. USS Vengeance

Designed and developed by Khan Noonien Singh and Section 31, Star Trek: Into Darkness reveals how scary this 23rd-century starship is. From Star Trek’s Kelvin timeline, this ship was specifically created for combat and was commissioned in 2259. It has very assassin type feel.

3. The Whale Probe

You cannot stop boasting about the exquisite features of this starship – the Whale Probe. Featured in the Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home , defeating it is out of the question as it is a massive, power-sucking, starship-disabling, and ocean-vaporizing craft that visited Earth in 2286 to contact members of the humpback whale species.

2. Xindi Probe

We can define this starship as a pure beam of destructive force. Seen in Star Trek: Enterprise, this Xindi Probe not only attacked Earth in the 22nd century but also successfully killed more than 7 million people from Florida to Venezuela leaving complete destruction in it’s wake.

Nomad starship was designed by Dr. Jackson Roykirk and served in the first part of the 21st century. It was created with two goals: to create a ship that could function as an accurate thinking machine while using logic and find new lifeforms in interstellar space. This powerful starship had the potential to clear out at least 4 billion people from four different planets. You can see how Captain Kirk and his team face it in the Star Trek TOS episode, The Changeling.

Wrapping It Up

See awesome great details in this book Ships of the Line on amazon . There are more powerful Star Trek ships in addition to this list. The Doomsday Machine, the Krenim Temporal Weapon Ship , the Species 8472 bioship , the Narada , the Borg Cube , and V’Ger are undoubtedly powerful Star Trek ships featured in different timelines. The high-tech development and their powerful specifications have made them the most powerful ships of the Star Trek era.

The 15 Best Ships on Star Trek, from V-ger to the Vengeance

Best star trek ships.

We love the ships in "Star Trek," not only because they travel fast or because they are often used outside of their design parameters, but also because they challenge the ideas of design in general. How weird is it to see a huge cube floating in space? Or to come across a warp-speed–capable ship that looks more like an organic entity? Here are the 15 best ships of "Star Trek" that audiences have seen so far.

1. V-ger ("Star Trek: The Motion Picture," 1979)

Perhaps the most powerful ship in the "Star Trek" universe, V-ger could eliminate Klingon ships with well-aimed bolts of plasma energy. When this vessel menaced Earth and the solar system in the first "Star Trek" movie, the crew penetrated V-ger's vast complex of clouds and machinery and discovered a surprise within: the remains of Voyager 6, a deep-space probe that NASA had launched late in the 20th century. The probe had the "O," "Y" and "A" missing on its decal, so its label now read as "V-ger." An unknown race of intelligent aliens had constructed the rest of the massive ship. (In real life, NASA launched only Voyagers 1 and 2 ; in 2012, Voyager 1 became the first Earth ship to reach interstellar space .)

2. Borg cube (first seen in "Star Trek: The Next Generation," 1987-1994)

This terrifying cube annihilated a bunch of United Federation of Planets starships in every battle. Worse, even if you managed to damage a lot of the ship, redundant systems would take over and it would continue to work — making the cube a tough starship to beat. Usually, the Borg ship could trap an attacker in a tractor shield and drain all its adversary's shields before the attacker could do very much damage. Those few crews who got inside the cube beheld another terrifying sight: all the different alien species being assimilated into a collective, one that could adapt its fighting style very quickly in hand-to-hand combat, given its hive mind. [ Where No Films Have Gone Before: The Complete 'Star Trek' Movie List ]

3. Whale probe ("Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home," 1986)

This was a gigantic cylinder that began threatening Earth in the year 2286, bellowing a signal that nobody could figure out, crippling any ship or power grid within reach, and — even worse — creating a planet-wide storm around the planet. It turned out that this probe was wreaking havoc because it was looking for something important: Earth's whales, which had been rendered extinct. Luckily for humanity, the Enterprise crew managed to travel back in time to 1986 San Francisco and rescue two humpbacks. The crew brought the whales back to 2286 to communicate with the probe and stop the destruction.

4. USS Enterprise, multiple versions

There are so many versions of the USS Enterprise that we decided to put them together into one slide, highlighting some of the unique features of notable versions. The NCC-1701-E ("Star Trek: The Next Generation" movies) had quantum torpedoes and, unlike some of its predecessors, could actually take on a Borg cube. The earlier ship NCC-1701-D ("Star Trek: The Next Generation") had more than 1,000 crewmembers on board and was supremely fast, moving at up to Warp 9 with ease. The NCC-1701 is a bit different in "The Original Series" (1966-68) than in the alternate timeline of the recent movies (2009-present). The movie version can operate underwater, but the original series version took out some nasty Klingons with the self-destruct sequence during "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock" (1984). We also can't forget to mention the NX-01 ("Star Trek: Enterprise," 2001-05), the first Enterprise that could achieve Warp 5, letting its crew explore beyond just nearby star systems. [ Abandon Ship! 'Star Trek' Loves to Destroy the Enterprise ]

5. Narada ("Star Trek," 2009)

This is a simply terrifying Romulan ship, because its massive size dwarfs anything that the United Federation of Planets can throw against it. The ship also launched a whole alternate reality for the "Star Trek" universe when, after being pulled into a black hole in the year 2387, it emerged 150 years in the past and destroyed the USS Kelvin, the birthplace of Capt. James T. Kirk. The Narada then drilled a hole in the planet Vulcan and obliterated that planet, again greatly altering the timeline of "Star Trek." Fortunately, the Narada was eventually obliterated by "red matter," a substance that created a singularity, or black hole , that tore the ship apart.

6. Krenim weapon ship ("Star Trek: Voyager," 1995-2001)

The Krenim Imperium created a weapon ship that could literally erase species from existence due to its ability to manipulate time. The process first went well for the Krenim, as they obliterated another species, called the Zahl. But when another species, called the Garenor, came under attack, the USS Voyager created temporal shields that disrupted the Krenim weapon. The shields created a timeline in which the Krenim themselves didn't exist. The Krenim tried to attack Voyager, but the ship escaped at warp speed because it was faster. Oops.

7. USS Voyager ("Star Trek: Voyager," 1995-2001)

This ship is notable not only for exploring the poorly understood Delta Quadrant of the galaxy in "Star Trek," but also for using some creative techniques to shorten a 75-year voyage home. (That happened due to a displacement wave that carried the USS Voyager there; this wave was created by a being called the Caretaker, which had a pretty selfish agenda that we won't get into here.) While the Voyager used help from several species to get back home, perhaps the most notable step was inserting Borg technology into their engine. The crew stole a transwarp coil from a Borg sphere that shortened their journey by several years, until the sphere gave out. [ How 'Star Trek' Technology Works (Infographic) ]

8. Klingon Bird-of-Prey, multiple versions

One of the Bird-of-Prey's greatest abilities was cloaking . This is used to delightful effect several times in some of the early "Star Trek" movies (1982-84), as both the Enterprise and the Klingons were trying to gain control of the Genesis device, which promised to render inhabitable planets into lush worlds in just a short time. Unfortunately, the Klingon technology had a flaw; you could still "see" the ship because the cloaking technology distorted the light of stars around it. Once the Enterprise caught on to the trick, they were able to fire on the ship successfully.

9. Romulan warbird, D'deridex class ("Star Trek: The Next Generation," 1987-1994)

This powerful ship also uses cloaking to great effect, as the USS Enterprise (NCC 1701-D) discovered when the Romulans suddenly uncloaked near the Federation ship. It was the first time Romulans had come out of isolation in 53 years. This cool ship is powered by what the show calls a forced quantum singularity, and naturally the vessel has a number of weapons, too — torpedoes, beams and pulses. However, the singularity came with some drawbacks, including limiting the ship's top speed to less than that of the USS Enterprise.

10. Deep Space 9 ("Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," 1993-1999)

While the United Federation of Planets inherited this space station from the Cardassians, the crew quickly adapted its use to help Starfleet. The first episode sees the crew manage to warp nearby space to quickly bring Deep Space 9 closer to a wormhole; the wormhole eventually had strategic importance as it allowed ships to travel quickly to the space station, increasing trade. While the original space station was poorly armed, a retrofit equipped it with 5,000 photon torpedoes. [ 7 Awesome Sci-Fi Space Stations from TV and Film ]

Starship names from Star Trek

If you’re looking for ideal names for spaceships, you’re on ground well-trodden by the writers of Star Trek, which must have the largest list of named spaceships from any franchise!

Below is a list of Federations starships (including non-Starfleet spaceships) used in canon Star Trek (so not including books or games).

There’s more information on this wiki page about Federation starships , including links with information about each ship. A fun name on this list is the USS Alka Selsior , an an in-joke reference to the Alka-Seltzer brand-name of indigestion medicine, & a play on the name “Excelsior”.

Star Trek: Discovery Season 5 Returning Cast & New Character Guide

Star trek: discovery season 5 episode 8 ending explained, star trek: discovery revealed season 5’s true villain (& it's not the breen).

Warning: SPOILERS for Star Trek: Discovery Season 5, Episode 7, "Erigah"

Four Starfleet ships defended Federation HQ in "Erigah" on Star Trek: Discovery, but the USS Voyager-J and the 32nd century USS Enterprise were absent.
Breen arrived for a blood bounty and President T'Rina negotiated with Primarch Ruhn in a tense face-off.
The identified Starfleet ships backing up Federation HQ in "Erigah" were USS Excalibur-M, USS Credence, USS LaMar, and USS Locherer.

The four Starfleet ships that arrived to defend Federation HQ in Star Trek: Discovery season 5, episode 7, "Erigah," have been identified, and the USS Voyager-J and 32nd century USS Enterprise weren't among them. Written by M. Raven Metzner and directed by Jon Dudkowski, "Erigah" brought the Breen to the United Federation of Planets' doorstep to collect the Eriagh (Breen blood bounty) on L'ak (Elias Toufexis) and Moll (Eve Harlow). President T'Rina (Tara Rosling) led the Federation's tense negotiations with the Breen's Primarch Ruhn (Tony Nappo), and four starships warped in to join the USS Discovery in facing the Breen's massive Dreadnought.

On X, Jörg Hillebrand (@gaghyogi49), who was a renowned researcher on Star Trek: Picard season 3, identified the first two Starfleet ships to back up Federation HQ in Star Trek: Discovery season 5, episode 7, "Erigah ", as the USS Excalibur-M and the USS Credence. Check out Hillebrand's posts below:

The final two Starfleet ships warping to the rescue in Star Trek: Discovery season 5, episode 7 are the USS LaMar and the USS Locherer , according to Memory Alpha . The Locherer was the starship that captured Moll and L'ak at the start of "Erigah."

As Burnham seeks the universe's greatest treasure in Star Trek: Discovery season 5, she'll need help from a host of new and returning characters.

Where Are USS Voyager-J & USS Enterprise In Star Trek: Discovery Season 5?

Other starships are helping the uss discovery.

The USS Voyager-J and a future version of the USS Enterprise are confirmed to be in service in Star Trek: Discovery 's 32nd century, but neither have been seen in Star Trek: Discovery season 5. Voyager-J was shown in Star Trek: Discovery season 3 , and Lt. Commander Nillson (Sara Mitich) transferred to Voyager-J from the USS Discovery before Star Trek: Discovery season 5 began. Voyager-J was also outfitted with a prototype Pathway Drive, Starfleet's new warp system meant to replace the USS Discovery's spore drive .

Star Trek: Discovery season 5 introduced the USS Antares.

Star Trek: Discovery has yet to show the 32nd-century USS Enterprise or determine what generation the legendary starship has reached. The Enterprise was mentioned in Star Trek: Discovery season 4, joining the USS Voyager-J to scan a subspace rift left behind by the Dark Matter Anomaly. Star Trek: Discovery season 5 introduced the USS Antares, the starship formerly commanded by Captain Rayner (Callum Keith Rennie). Since Star Trek: Discovery season 5 is its final season, it's unknown whether the USS Enterprise or USS Voyager-J will be seen before the series ends.

Star Trek: Discovery Season 5, Episode 7 – Debuted Thursday, May 9, 2024 Written by M. Raven Metzner Directed by Jon Dudkowski

You can cut the tension with an Andorian Ushaan-tor in a taut episode full of political intrigue, heartbreak, and even a few laughs.

I’m back!

WARNING: Spoilers below!

“Never turn your back on a Breen”

The Disco rendezvous with the USS Locherer which has captured Moll and L’ak. Captain Burnham is briefed by her old friend Nhan who has the former couriers in custody and she also has Vellek’s original diary, which may have more hidden secrets. Book wants to help but the security officer only sees him as a “security risk,” for that whole betraying the Federation thing last season. L’ak is beamed to sickbay and he is still in bad shape from that knife wound Michael gave him two episodes ago. Dr. Culber is no expert but they figure an old Breen refrigeration unit in storage at Starfleet HQ could help. When they arrive Admiral Vance won’t let them in. For the first time since the Dominion War, the Breen have entered Federation space… and they want L’ak and Moll. Worried the baddies will find out about the whole Progenitor tech thing, Vance wants the Disco to skedaddle, but Burnham successfully argues they should make their stand here instead of letting the Breen cause havoc chasing them around the quadrant. The stakes couldn’t be higher… so I guess this isn’t a “ filler episode .”

President T’Rina is in charge of negotiations (Rillak is away and so is Saru, sadly) and leads a crisis meeting at HQ. No one has talked to the Breen since before The Burn, but people are scared as they still remember their brutal Dominion War history. Rayner makes his view plain with “All the Breen are the same” (can he say that?) arguing they should prepare to fight. However, it’s curious why a Primarch would come all the way to Fed HQ, so it must be tied into the Breen’s civil war. While T’Rina, Burnham and Vance try to figure out how to buy time until more Starfleet ships arrive, Rayner’s anti-Breen tirade escalates to get him booted from the room. Burnham is tasked with getting info from L’ak to find out what they can use to negotiate, and to get her XO “in line.” As she wasn’t privy to all those flashbacks from two episodes ago, Michael needs to drag the whole royalty story out of L’ak while he is barely holding on in sickbay. Turns out he is next in line for the throne, “Scion of the Breen Imperium.” He wants nothing to do with it and asks the captain to spit in his uncle’s face when he shows up. That’s cold, even for a Breen .

I may not know anything about Breen philology, but I have my concerned caregiver face down.

“Wow, you really got around”

While everyone is running around thinking they are all about to die, Stamets remembers the season arc, talking Tilly out of leaving the ship so she can help find the last piece of the map with “the most important thing in the Federation right now,” specifically a piece of metal they found in the clue from last week. He is going to team up with Book to work on tracing the metallurgy while Tilly teams up with Adira on the inscription. The Academy teacher is impressed with how the young ensign is coming along as they sort out how the clue points to the original Betazed manuscript for “Labyrinths of the Mind,” location unknown, naturally. Zora points them to the one person on the ship with a background in antique books: Commander Reno. Really. Turns out the acerbic engineer “padded” her resume, but she used to be a smuggler for “a shady antiquarian archivist” amongst other colorful jobs. She does figure Dr. Derex would have wanted to protect the next clue so they should look into something called the “Eternal Gallery and Archive,” a space library that keeps on the move and uses little metal library cards… ding ding ding! SIDE PITCH: Sitcom of Reno’s time as a bartender on Alshain IV… Call it Jett’s Treks . Make it so, Alex.

The Breen Dreadnaught finally shows up, and it’s redonculous. It’s so big, you got to think Primarch Ruhn is overcompensating. T’Rina buys them four hours, but they need something to use to negotiate besides handing over the fugitives. L’ak is no help, telling the captain she will never understand the Breen, so he busies himself working on an escape plan with Moll. Michael looks to her xenophobic first officer for help as it turns out his home world was once occupied by the Breen. He opens up on the painful memories of a Primarch Tahal showing up at Kellerun to use it as a supply depot in a war, enslaving the people, destroying the environment… all the usual evil occupier stuff. They fought back, but he was his family’s sole survivor. His advice: you can’t negotiate with the Breen, his tragic backstory gives her an idea. Rhun beams in at HQ with a small army and rudely refuses T’Rina’s counteroffer of a bunch of dilithium, “The only payment for a blood bounty is blood”… this guy’s a barrel of laughs. T’Rina surprises him by not only showing she can understand Breen, but she has decided to hand the prisoners over to Primarch Tahal. Burnham and Rayner help sell the ruse with the Kellerun’s knowledge of the rival Primarch. And they know Rhun can’t afford to blast his way through the station to get to L’ak because he can’t risk killing the Scion. The Breen came to play checkers and T’Rina is playing 3-D Vulcan Chess .

You are going to need a bigger boat.

“This isn’t how our story ends”

T’Rina makes her diplomatic checkmate move, suggesting they keep the prisoners. With no Primarch getting the Scion, the Breen Civil War will stay status quo. Rhun reluctantly agrees… warning they better keep L’ak alive. Um, well, in sickbay, L’ak starts the escape plan by injecting himself with a whole day’s worth of drugs as a distraction. Culber rushes in to save him and Moll makes her move, fighting off the guard and Nhan, escaping into the ship. Meanwhile, Book is in Paul’s lab and he really wants to join the search but Stamets talks him into staying to use his glowy forehead empath powers on the little piece of metal… and it works. The Kwejian picks up images of a huge plasma storm and something about “eternal,” before he can’t wait any longer to go find Moll. After the big win at HQ Burnham beams into sickbay to find things falling apart, with L’ak fading fast. Her only option, get a Breen medic. The Primarch shows up with a doctor and “If my nephew dies, the Federation will pay.” Like, does this guy practice villain talk in front of the mirror?

Book helps Nhan track down Moll, who has taken a hostage and is working her way to the shuttlebay. He convinces her to stay, telling her she may want to return to sickbay before it’s too late. She arrives just in time to have final words with the love of her life and it’s actually really sad. The Primarch blames Starfleet and prepares for battle as four more Starfleet ships show up. His new plan: a war to avenge L’ak would unite the Breen behind him. Now Moll drops the bombshell, she and L’ak were married so she is part of the bargain. She also reveals the Federation is hiding info on powerful tech that she knows how to get, so Rhun demands they hand her over or shooting starts, sparking another HQ debate. Book is incensed they are considering it even though Moll wants to go, figuring the Breen can help find the Progenitor tech to resurrect L’ak, a possibility mentioned in Vellek’s diary. T’Rina makes the call and beams the former courier to the Dreadnaught and it warps away. Vance points out they are now in a race with the Breen, but thanks to Stamets the research teams put the pieces together to sort out their next stop: The Archive… in the Badlands! With the next episode’s destination set to another canon connection, Michael and Rayner play us out with a nice quiet bonding moment before she orders black alert… and fade to black.

I’m just a Breen country doctor.

A dish best served cold

This excellent tension-filled episode keeps you on the edge of your seat. There is a lot going on in “Erigah” but good pacing weaves the drama, action, character exploration, worldbuilding and even humor together into a tight, entertaining package. Returning to a focus on the season’s big story, the episode evoked the high-stakes drama of some of the more martial Trek episodes, especially from the Dominion War arc of Deep Space Nine , which got plenty of nods throughout. The full ensemble of stars and guest stars elevated the material with a few standouts, especially Tara Rosling as the effective president T’Rina, Eve Harlow as the anguished Moll, and Tig Notaro as the always hilarious Jett Reno. Instead of taking the lead in every situation, Sonequa Martin-Green’s Captain Burnham was the glue holding it all together, with an assist from Anthony Rapp’s Stamets, the guy keeping his eye on the big Progenitor prize. The political maneuvering and debates in “Erigah” are some of the best of a franchise tradition as the episode asked big moral questions, but didn’t force a single point of view, leaving the viewer to ponder their own path… again, very Star Trek.

The plot-heavy episode finely wove several character stories into it, mostly seamlessly. From little beats like Tilly mentoring and encouraging Adira, to Michael pivotally getting Rayner to reveal his vulnerabilities. Callum Keith Rennie was superb and it was a nice touch drawing a parallel from Rayner’s shoot first idea to the callback to Michael’s series premiere mutiny. Throughout there were emotional stakes equal to the political, without taking unnecessary character sidebar distractions. A good example of this was Book’s ongoing redemption, with the smart return of Rachael Ancheril’s Nhan providing the perfect foil to his arc since last season. L’ak’s death was poignant and emotional and even though he and Moll began the season as the main antagonists, the work done in this and previous episodes earned its way to making us care… something no other Discovery season has pulled off. On the other side of the tonal coin, not enough can be said of the Adira/Tilly/Reno story that laid the foundation to set up the next episode with a surprising amount of humor, yet it also nailed the stakes in between the snappy dialog. Besides the delicious backstory, Reno is always great for little moments of meta-commentary, like her “truncheons, jackboots, where’s the nuance?” take on the Breen.

Stop pointing that at me, I’m trying to help!

Ice in the veins

The world-building in this episode was rich and rewarding, as the season pivots to the Breen and Primarch Rhun as the real big bads. He may be mustache-twirly, but it works in this case. The Breen Civil War plot allowed us to learn more about them through learning more about Rayner and the Kelleruns, effectively layering plot and character stories. Although, it may not make sense that T’Rina – who amazingly could understand Breen – was not already briefed on all of that. But it does appear that Kelleruns are still not part of the Federation, so perhaps her files didn’t have that key intel. Together, like they were in the 24 th century, the Breen are still a mysterious and very credible threat… with the gigantic ship driving that point home. However, this episode did raise the question of how the power of empires outside the Federation should be limited in the post-Burn era without their own supplies of dilithium. Speaking of interesting backstories, Reno’s resume was full of little bits, even how she used to work at a bar on Alshain IV , the butterfly people planet from the season 4 opener. Does her 23rd-century cocktail named “Seven of Limes” make sense? No? Was it funny? Yes.

One curiosity is how DS9 established Breen do not have blood ( reconfirmed to TrekMovie by Disco writer Carolos Cisco), but an Erigah is a “blood bounty,” which can only be “paid with blood,” because L’ak is part of the royal “bloodline.” One can only hope something is being lost in translation. Also, it isn’t entirely clear why L’ak never reverted to his gelatinous state when unconscious and even after death. Blood and jelly nitpicks aside, fans of Deep Space Nine should have been doing the Pointing Rick Dalton meme all episode long. There were several references to the Dominion War and the Breen attack on Earth resulting in the destruction of San Francisco, which seems to ring through Federation history like Pearl Harbor or 9/11. Little canon callback moments like “ Never turn your back on a Breen ” are woven in seamlessly to serve the plot and characters, not just fans. And deeper cuts such as references to Thoron Fields and Duraniam Shadows may go unnoticed by most, but surely bring a little delight to hard-core Niners. They even cued the next episode’s setting in the Badlands , with an impressive peek at what it looks like in the 32 nd century. It’s so welcome how Discovery has rediscovered it is part of the rich history of Star Trek.

Which one of you made that crack about Jello?

Final thoughts

A fantastic episode tied up and built upon plot and character threads that have been building all season long, and even some from past seasons and the franchise as a whole. The excitement level is really ramped up now for this best season of the series, with only three episodes left until it is all over.

Tilly and Adira after drinking a few Seven of Limes.

For the fourth episode in a row, Doug Jones is not credited and does not appear, although T’Rina did mention some intel Saru provided that helped the plot… In case you missed it, Jones recently explained his absence and confirmed his return.
L’ak overdosed on Tricordrazine , a potent stimulant used during the TNG era, derived from Cordrazine , introduced in the classic TOS episode “City on the Edge of Forever.”
T’Rina mentions considering using a tribble infestation as a ruse to buy time with the Breen, as Discovery needs a nod to tribbles every episode or two.
When the Breen show up the Discovery is set to “ Code One Alpha Zero ,” which was used to signify a ship in distress, first seen in TNG’s “Relics.”
Moll sarcastically mentioned Book should try to sell her “a goat farm on Bopak III ,” referencing a Gamma Quadrant planet from the DS9 episode “Hippocratic Oath.”
Apparently, Betazoids can imbue an object with information telepathically.
Nhan’s eyes weren’t bright blue in this episode, it was established back in season 3 that when outside their native atmosphere Barzan’s eyes change to bright blue.
Could the “shady antiquarian archivist” Reno used to work for be Pelia ?

Do either of you know what the hell this thing is?

Interview: Elias Toufexis On Making Star Trek History Playing L’ak And Nerding Out In ‘Discovery’

I really enjoyed this episode and i am always up for watching some good diplomacy scenes. That Breen dreadnought was awesome looking i hope someone ends up releasing a model of it.

I did find Book a bit annoying in this episode as it has been pointed out he has spent very little time with Moll and with L’ak ‘dead’ i don’t think Book is going to be able to get through to her.

Since she wants to try and use the Progenitor Tech to try and bring L’ak back enough though it’s obvious that if primarch Ruhn gets his hands on the Tech he won’t need Moll or want to bring L’ak back. Then again grief for one can make one blind and it’s obvious it’s blinding Moll and Book for their own reasons.

That Breen dreadnought was awesome looking i hope someone ends up releasing a model of it.

This was my exact thought the moment that ship appeared. They’re knocking these Breen ship designs out of the park imo.

Back to something more interesting this week, and the show is better off because of it. . I’m now buying into Mol and L’ak. Action Adventure is working for this season, and I really liked this week’s episode. It’ll be interesting to see where they go and I think we haven’t seen the last of a certain character. Raynor is easily my favorite character this season. The only thing I’m a little worried, is they’re going to blow the mystery they’re building up to. That it won’t be something compelling.. it’ll just be a disaster thwarted. I hope we get something cool relative to the mystery.. just don’t want to get my hopes up.

Well, for sure L’ak and Moll are not typical bad guys. The tension built as the episode unfolded, intensified by several surprises (at least to me) along the way. This was great Trek of a very high quality.

The episode wasn’t that bad like the first ones, but the plot is so stupid sometimes, every problem is artificially created from nonsense through lazy writing just to move the story along.

Can someone explain to me how the Breen (or anyone besides the Federation) is a major power given “The Burn” and the scarcity of dilithium?

The Emerald Chain was running out of dilithium to pillage and steal in season 3. That’s the reason Osyraa was even contemplating a union of the Emerald Chain and Federation. And the Federation presumably controls the only major source of dilithium left in the galaxy (i.e., the planet where they found the source of “The Burn” with the Kelpian child).

So how exactly are the Breen building supercarriers and being villains when they should be affected by the same scarcity of dilithium the Emerald Chain was facing? The previous episode even acknowledged the Breen were dependent on couriers for dilithium, since that’s how Moll and L’ak met.

Is it established that Breen ships are dilithium dependent?

In the episode the Federation offers them a lot of dilithium in exchange for the erigah to be lifted so they must have some dependence.

So, at least from articles I’ve seen on other sites, the Breen are being established as having used these city ships even during the DS9 era. We’ve also seen that they appear even more conquest driven than the Chain based on Rayner’s comments and history about what happened to his people, so they probably just took what they needed from others. We also saw in the episode that showed how our ‘big bads’ met that the Breen seemed to get regular dilithium shipments from couriers.

Another interesting aside is that prior Breen vessels have had some degree of biological basis, so their ships may grow like a living organism.

Thanks, William. I had wondered whether The Burn had simply made dilithium exceedingly rare and so super valuable, a rare commodity that all kinds of criminal activity multiplied, even if the Breen didn’t use it for a matter-antimatter propulsion system.

Which raises a question about the Romulans whom we know in the Picard era used an artificial singularity for propulsion. Did The Burn put them in a very advantageous situation compared to other spacefaring species? Or had they abandoned that tech before their reunification with Vulcan so that Nivar was also devastated by The Burn?

Probably overthinking this stuff.

Personally I’ve always thought that dilithium played a part in Romulan Warp Drive as well. The dilithium mines on Remus were very important to them. Some have said the Romulans probably traded their dilithium, but then why would the Praetor in Nemesis have been so worried a out the Reman output being low and needing to import dilithium from a colony world? When they were discussing other propulsion systems that were theorized before the Burn Ni’var was testing a new design, but we don’t know if it incorporated a singularity.

Ni’var appears to have been impacted by the Burn just like the rest of the galaxy. I recall from an episode an aside comment by Admiral Vance that Ni’var only had 75 starships and they were described as small. That seems a little low for a government that covered a large territory.

I do wish they would give a little information on the Pathway Drive, but I doubt that it’ll be explained this season.

Thanks. That all makes sense.

This episode had some great stuff in it, but for the second week in a row we have someone pointing a phaser at someone and trying to convince them to surrender. It doesn’t work and there’s a big shootout. You have a stun setting! Use it the instant you enter a room, dropping everyone there if necessary, bad guys, good guys, whoever. Then sort them out later.

Well, the finale can’t get here fast enough. Once again Discovery gets itself sidetracked with momentum killing random subplots. It’s as if the hunt for the clues leading to the Progenitor tech has taken a back seat to less important stuff. The sense of urgency in finding the Progenitor tech now feels like it isn’t even urgent at all.

Hopefully next week will be back on track.

well, every mid-season since season 2 felt like this – a lenghty and sidetracked mixture of redundant dialogue and unnecessarily prolonged confrontations.

once again: no saru. dispapponting. only the scenes with reno were funny and had the right timing.

Another entertaining episode. Also it seemed like they were experimenting with some very dynamic camera movement during some of the action sequences.

On a different note: Some people have noted in previous review threads that there has been less comment activity and speculated that interest in Discovery must have plummeted. However, the show has actually made it into the Nielsen streaming Top 10 (Nielsen just released the numbers for the week of April 8-14 and DSC is on #10). So the reduced comments do not necessarily indicate reduced viewership.

Another strong outing for Discovery this season. They are really knocking it out of the park. The writing, the acting and the story is top-notch. Martin-Green is really fantastic in her role as Captain now. You can see how her character really evolved through the series. Callum is a fantastic add to the series, it’s just too bad it is the final season. Hopefully, he will be going over to the Academy series – would love to see him shine there as well. Another episode that feel really Star Trek. Love the throwbacks to DS9 in there. Anxious to see what happens in the badlands next week!

Do we know why Owo and Detmer have disappeared? Were the actors too busy filming something else or what? We got a quick “taking the ISS Enterprise back to HQ” and that was it.

So, I know I have to watch this episode again because it feels a lot like “But to Connect” – the episode last season where the Federation voted on how to react to the 10-CC. Last year I was bored, but on rewatch before this season, I thought it was kind of brilliant. Is this really the same? But… I am annoyed.

In this episode, Vance and the team agree to Michael’s suggestion: keep Discovery where it is. As a result, almost everything that can go wrong goes dangerously wrong. What’s wrong with following orders? Michael does not need to be there to confront the Breen. And since when do the Breen have tech to follow Discovery which can hop everywhere? Isn’t this one of the tenants of the show? And if that is the case, wouldn’t it be exciting to see that the Breen can follow Discovery? And that Stamets still has purpose, and Book can help?

And I do feel like Rayner was dealt dirty here. He has the experience with the Breen, which I am sure informed his entire career. There is no way Vance didn’t know about it in a way that could have been overtly useful to their entire plan. The entire episode for him does not need to devolve into a teachable moment from Michael, or anyone . He has a teachable moment for them, and he probably has had a way of using it his entire life . Maybe he’s not xenophobic, maybe he’s a very smart tactician, and still, probably, a great captain.

This is the risible thing they did to Book last season, which fakes a naiveté. Rayner can’t be that unaware. It’s also how they are treating Gray. So, even when this show is finally delivering a plot, and episodes that are exciting, they are also abusing the trauma the characters experience — for the sake of fitting into juvenile plot points.

Yes, I’m a little bit grouchy. I enjoyed every other episode this season, almost wholeheartedly, but this one – not so much. Maybe that will change when I see it again.

The fed????

Why was SMG pronouncing sentences weird this week? Or more than usual anyway. So smug and terribly acted.

I’d have enjoyed DSC rather than enduring it if it wasn’t for her and one or two others.

The handle checks out.

Ha-ha… you beat me to it.

Another episode that once again seems to exist in a recognizable Star Trek universe. I’m not sure what changed this season, but I wish it happened sooner! Bravo and thank you! The episode was strong thanks mostly to some great character moments and performances (especially T’rina and Moll), although I found the Breen succession story less compelling because it’s all expository. If the writing in this season is what Kurtzman means by “Authentic Star Trek”, then I get it.

Great episode!

Discovery found the right formula mix in the 5th inning. Especially with fleshing out the Breen and putting their participation in the Dominion War in to a new context (especially why the Changling leader loved the Breen so much and why the Romulans didn’t like the Breen at all… the Breen come off as lethal/ruthless). Paramount we know money is tight, but how about one more season with a similar tempo to this one.

“sounds like something out of a holodeck adventure for the littles”

Sure does Jett

Enjoyed the exploration of the Breen. That was done with some real thought. The diplomatic brinkmanship worked.

Would be nice if Rayner’s utility stretched to teaching the crew some things rather than being lectured all the time, but at least he was able to use his knowledge to help with the bluff.

Reno was entertaining as always. The only humor on the show that consistently works is what is channeled through her.

Zora hasn’t really panned out as being more than a normal Star Trek computer as of late beyond a glimpse at her despair in Episode 4. She did nothing anyone who was good at Starfleet Google couldn’t have done this week.

Fight scene was not great. Chaotic and so much overuse of the same dizzying camera tricks.

Still not invested in Moll and Lak, especially the glowering Moll. The moral dilemma of giving her up to the Breen had no weight. She instigated it, she hasn’t shown many sympathetic qualities beyond loving Lak in a trite flashback episode. Book conveniently has a connection to her that’s not particularly moving. Whoopee.

Stakes have been raised nicely , here’s hoping the endgame pans out.

Intrepid class

View history

The Intrepid -class starship was a Federation design that entered service in the latter half of the 24th century . The Intrepid -class was designed for long-term exploration missions. At less than half the size of a Galaxy -class starship, it was considered "quick and smart." ( VOY : " Someone to Watch Over Me ", " Scientific Method ", " Relativity ")

General overview [ ]

When it was first commissioned, the Intrepid class featured many innovations that were then available, including the warp core's tricyclic input manifold and variable geometry pylons . The class was also the first to use bio-neural gel packs and had the Mark I Emergency Medical Hologram (or EMH) system.

Capabilities upon introduction were equally impressive. The class boasted the best navigational sensors , and the highest top speed of any Starfleet vessel until the development of the Prometheus -class . Its multi-mission design was backed up by a main computer processor capable of simultaneously accessing 47 million data channels and sustaining 575 trillion calculations per nanosecond in operational temperatures from 10 to 1,790 Kelvin . ( VOY : " Relativity ", " Concerning Flight ")

The Intrepid -class USS Voyager had a stable crew complement of 141 when departing Deep Space 9 in 2371 . ( VOY : " Caretaker ") Throughout its journey in the Delta Quadrant , the ship operated with a crew of approximately 150. ( Star Trek: Voyager ) It is also noted that the ship can be operated with as few as 100 if needed. ( VOY : " The 37's ")

Class history [ ]

Voyager in drydock at the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards

Development and construction of the Intrepid -class occurred at the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards with the class entering service by 2370 . The second ship, USS Voyager , was commissioned in 2371 . It was the first ship to test the class 9 warp drive in deep space. At the time of its introduction, the Intrepid -class was considered to be the most technologically advanced out of all Starfleet's starship classes, though it would be superseded in that regard the following year by the Sovereign -class . ( VOY : " Caretaker ", " Relativity "; Star Trek: First Contact )

The performance of the Intrepid -class was well reflected by the starship Voyager . That ship was notable for independently, and successfully, completing an unscheduled seven-year journey across the previously unexplored Delta Quadrant , seventy thousand light years from Federation space, from 2371 to 2378 . The vessel was completely cut off from communication with Starfleet until 2374 and had no access to any Starfleet supplies or facilities for the entire length of its journey. ( VOY Season 1 through VOY Season 7 )

A newer version of the Intrepid -class was being used by Starfleet in the 31st and 32nd centuries . ( DIS : " Die Trying ", " Scavengers ")

Technical data [ ]

Physical arrangement [ ].

Close-up view of the Intrepid -class' primary hull

The hull configuration of the Intrepid -class adopted the saucer-type shape of previous starship classes, which of primary hull , secondary hull , and nacelles driven by the physics of warp generation and control. One of the Intrepid -class' most notable characteristics were its warp nacelles, which angled when going to warp, a quality which has not been observed in any other starship. The Intrepid -class used a duranium hull structure, a plasma -based power distribution system, and tricyclic life support systems. ( VOY : " Drone ")

Following the Starfleet standard, Deck 1 was reserved for the main bridge , with the briefing room and captain's ready room located to port and starboard sides of the bridge. Located in the front section of Deck 2 was the crew's mess hall and the captain's private dining hall, served by three windows that offered a spectacular view of space in front of the vessel. One deck below, located in the front section of Deck 3, were the quarters of the starship's commanding officer , served by five windows.

The dorsal saucer section was covered by four phaser arrays , two of which extended from the aft curvature along the length of the saucer. The aft firing arc was covered by two smaller arrays, angled on the rear of the saucer section. The relative bottom of the ship was protected by two similar arrays as on the dorsal saucer section, extending to the rear of the saucer and following the curve towards the bow. ( VOY : " Caretaker ", " Basics, Part I ", " Unimatrix Zero ") Docked to the underside of the Intrepid -class' primary hull was the vessel's aeroshuttle .

The landing mechanism

An Intrepid -class deflector emitting a graviton beam

Further aft, the main navigational deflector dish was found at the foreside of the Intrepid -class' secondary hull. Located right above the deflector were the forward photon torpedo launchers . On the underside of the secondary hull were located three sets of plates that supported the warp propulsion system. The forward plate covered the reserve intermix chamber ; the middle plate contained the antimatter loading port, a large magnetic valve that kept the antimatter from coming in contact with matter during the transfer to the storage pods; ( VOY : " Caretaker ", " Projections ") and the aft cover plate contained the operational intermix chamber hatch, for ejecting the warp core in case of emergency. ( VOY : " Day of Honor ")

One of the few Starfleet starship classes capable of atmospheric entry and planetary landing, the Intrepid -class starship was equipped with antigravity generators as well as impulse and lifters strategically placed at the mass and stress points on the bottom portion of the secondary hull. Prior to and during landing or takeoff procedures, the vessel typically went to blue alert , indicating to the crew they were to assume their code-blue stations. ( VOY : " The 37's ")

With fifteen decks and a mass of 700,000 metric tons, there were 257 rooms on an Intrepid -class vessel. ( VOY : " Relativity ", " Scientific Method ") Entire deck sections could be jettisoned in case of emergency. ( VOY : " Warhead ")

Command and control systems [ ]

Intrepid -class main bridge

The main bridge of the Intrepid -class starship was ovoid and served as the nerve center of the vessel.

At the bridge's rear was a large bank of consoles and data readout screens. Center of that area was the master systems display; control consoles flanked it on both sides. ( Star Trek: Voyager )

Starboard of the information center, past the starboard side turbolift , was the station of the chief tactical officer . This area was maintained mostly for internal security and combat situations. Other systems that could be commanded by tactical included long- and short-range sensor arrays , sensor probes , message buoys , and tractor beams . An identical station was found on the other side of the bridge, where the operations station was found. This panel presented the operations officer with a continually updated list of current major shipboard activities. This list permitted Ops to set priorities and allocate resources among current operations. This was especially critical when two or more requests required the use of the same equipment, entailed mutually exclusive mission profiles, or involved some unusual safety or tactical considerations. ( VOY : " Parallax ", " The Cloud ", " Emanations ", " Elogium ", " Worst Case Scenario ")

Section of the Intrepid -class captain's ready room

Forward of the upper ship operations areas were doorways to the briefing room at one side and the captain's ready room at the other. There, the commanding officer could engage in administrative work with all relevant office equipment at hand without interfering with bridge operations, while still being close to the bridge in case of emergency. Also, this room was usually the preferred place where the captain could hold private discussions or receive classified communications. Aboard the Intrepid -class starship, the work desk was the focal point of the ready room, located ahead of the main entrance door. A raised level in the forward section of the room featured a small table, a curved couch, and a replicator . The wall behind the couch featured three windows looking toward the bow of the vessel. Compared with the much larger Galaxy -class starship, the Intrepid -class had a more spacious, luxurious ready room. ( VOY : " Caretaker ", " Eye of the Needle ", " Year of Hell ", " The Omega Directive "; Star Trek: The Next Generation )

The Intrepid -class could not execute an auto-destruct sequence if the secondary command processors were damaged. ( VOY : " Basics, Part I ")

The chairs of the captain and first officer on the Intrepid -class bridge

In the center of the Intrepid -class' bridge was the command area. Here, seating was provided for the vessel's commanding officer and his or her first officer , seated to the captain's left. Between these chairs was a miniaturized status display. Using keyboard or vocal commands, the commanding officer could use these controls to override the basic operation of the starship. Directly aft of this area, integrated in the handrail encircling the aft section of the central command area, was another command console that could be operated to perform more bridge duties. ( VOY : " Parturition ", " Maneuvers ", " Collective ", " Unimatrix Zero, Part II ", " Endgame ")

Directly forward of and two steps lower than the central command area was the conn station. From here, the flight control officer served as helmsman and navigator for the starship. Despite many of these functions being heavily automated, their critical nature demanded a humanoid officer to oversee these operations at all times. During spaceflight at impulse , conn monitored relativistic effects as well as inertial damping system status. When the ship was traveling at warp speed , conn monitored the subspace field geometry in parallel with the engineering department. During warp flight, the conn console continually updated long-range sensor data and made automatic course corrections to adjust for minor variations in the density of the interstellar medium. ( VOY : " Parallax ", " The Cloud ", " Tattoo ", " Vis à Vis ", " Cathexis ")

To the right of conn sat the chief engineer . Though the position was far better served in main engineering , situations arose where the engineer's presence was needed on the bridge. The console allowed complete control over all engineering systems. Directly opposite sat the chief science officer at a similar console. From this console, LN2 exhaust conduits were vented to expel exhaust from the Intrepid -class. ( VOY : " Caretaker ", " Ex Post Facto ")

Propulsion systems [ ]

Main engineering

Main engineering aboard an Intrepid -class starship was located on Deck 11. The room was constructed around the matter-antimatter reaction assembly warp core , a class 9 warp drive with a tricyclic input manifold. ( VOY : " Relativity ") The core provided a maximum output of four thousand teradynes per second. ( VOY : " Drone ") The warp drive was designed to operate for up to three years before refueling. The reaction chamber was equipped with a compositor , which allowed recrystallization of dilithium . ( VOY : " Innocence ") The warp drive allowed the ship a top sustainable cruise velocity of warp factor 9.975. ( VOY : " Caretaker ", " Relativity ") It also allowed the ship to travel at warp 9.75 for 12 hours . ( VOY : , " The Swarm ") The Intrepid -class also featured a secondary warp assembly. ( VOY : " Alice ")

The main engineering room featured two levels. In front of the warp core was a large monitoring area on the lower engineering level. Also located on this level was the chief engineer's office and an open work area for special projects or situational analysis. A second tier ringed the upper level of main engineering. A small, single-person elevator, as well as a ladder on the opposite side, provided access to this catwalk . ( VOY : " Caretaker ")

The class 9 warp core of an Intrepid -class starship

The main impulse engines on an Intrepid -class starship were located on the aft end of the pylons leading to the warp nacelles . Intrepid -class starships were also equipped with auxiliary impulse reactors. ( VOY : " Phage ")

Warp core ejection [ ]

In the event of a warp core breach , the Intrepid -class starship could eject the warp core . This procedure required the authorization code of the chief engineer or a member of the senior staff . The core was ejected through the ejection port on the underside of the secondary hull. Magnetic rails inside the channel accelerated the core once disengaged from the vessel and fired it away from the ship. Under normal circumstances, the vessel then moved away from the core as fast as possible under impulse power. ( VOY : " Cathexis ", " Day of Honor ", " Renaissance Man ")

Should the core not go critical, the vessel could recover it with tractor beams and careful manipulation. ( VOY : " Day of Honor ", " Renaissance Man ")

Tactical systems [ ]

Phaser systems [ ].

An Intrepid -class starship firing its phasers

The Intrepid -class utilized a ship-mounted phaser array system. The dorsal saucer section was covered by four phaser arrays, two of which extended from the aft curvature, along the length of the saucer and stop short of the auxiliary deflector incision. One smaller phaser array extended behind the bridge. ( VOY : " Resolutions ") The aft firing arc was covered by two smaller arrays, angled on the rear of the saucer section. The relative bottom of the ship was protected by two similar arrays as on the dorsal saucer section, extending to the rear of the saucer and following the curve to the auxiliary deflector incision. More protection was provided by an array that extended across the ventral engineering hull just fore of the warp core ejection port. Far-aft strips were provided on the underside of the variable-geometry nacelle pylons and under the shuttlebay landing deck on the underside of the ship for a total ship's complement of fourteen phaser arrays. ( Star Trek: Voyager )

Additional phaser banks included at least four separate phaser emitters , two in the aft torpedo launcher , ( VOY : " Dragon's Teeth ", " Prophecy ") one aft phaser bank located behind the second tractor beam emitter, in the aft section of Deck 14, ( VOY : " Think Tank ") and an embedded emitter on the ventral surface of the ship's right nacelle. ( VOY : " Unimatrix Zero ")

Torpedo systems [ ]

The Intrepid -class housed five standard torpedo launchers (two fore and two aft, and one on the ventral side of the ship). The USS Voyager was loaded with Type 6 photon torpedoes in 2371 . The ship also had class-9 and at least four class-10 photon torpedoes and two tricobalt devices in her torpedo arsenal. ( VOY : " Caretaker ", " Resolutions ", " Scorpion, Part II ", " In the Flesh ", " Bliss ")

In addition, the ship also carried spatial charges , which could also be used as subspatial charges to cause subspace disturbance . There were also photon charges and photon bursts . The ship also had gravimetric charges , which could be installed into photon torpedoes, turning them into extremely destructive gravimetric torpedoes . Cardassian quantum torpedoes were also compatible with Intrepid -class launchers, with some modification. ( VOY : " Relativity ", " Think Tank ", " Elogium ", " The Omega Directive ", et al .)

Deflector shields [ ]

The Intrepid -class' deflector shields react under incoming fire

There were a total of fourteen external shield grids on an Intrepid -class starship. ( VOY : " Equinox, Part II ")

The shields of Intrepid -class vessels were superior to earlier designs. They included multiphasic and multi-spectrum shielding . ( VOY : " Flashback ", " The Omega Directive ", " Live Fast and Prosper ") The shields allowed the ship to survive near a binary pulsar for a few minutes and even a planetary explosion at short range. ( VOY : " Scientific Method ", " Think Tank ")

Tractor beam [ ]

Each Intrepid -class tractor beam emitter was directly mounted to the primary members of the vessel's framework. The forward emitter was located on the underside of the secondary hull under the main deflector dish . The second emitter was located at the aft end of the secondary hull in the aft section of Deck 14. ( VOY : " Parallax ", " Message in a Bottle ")

Crew support systems [ ]

Medical facilities [ ].

The main ward

There was one large sickbay facility located on deck 5, equipped with an intensive-care unit (ICU), bio-hazard support, critical care, a morgue , the chief medical officer 's office, a load-out of three standard biobeds and one surgical bed in the main ward, and a small medical laboratory. It is the same design as seen in Sovereign -class starships. ( Star Trek: First Contact ) The standard medical staff consisted of a doctor and a nurse , supplemented by the Emergency Medical Hologram , the Intrepid -class being one of the first to be equipped with this medical technology. ( VOY : " Tuvix ")

The intensive-care unit

Three biobeds lined the walls of sickbay's ICU; these were for patients receiving medical care and were equipped with biofunction monitors . Located in the corner of the main ward was a surgical bed, where major surgeries were performed and critical patients were treated. A large, sophisticated sensor cluster was installed in the ceiling directly above this bed. Working with a medical tricorder , the sensor suite could give detailed information about a patient's condition. The bed was also designed to use a surgical support frame. The small area that the surgical bed was located in could be isolated by a force field . If necessary, surgery could be conducted in the intensive care ward if there was an overflow of patients or if another patient was present to donate blood . ( VOY : " Phage ", " Latent Image ")

Located in the center of the sickbay facility was the chief medical officer's office. Here, the CMO was provided with an area to work in privacy or conduct meetings with patients, staff, and others. Its proximity allowed the CMO to be present in sickbay almost immediately. Located behind this office was a small medical laboratory facility. The medical staff or other associated personnel could monitor experiments or run tests here during their duty shifts. Just off the medical lab was located a tiny area for storage of the deceased. ( VOY : " Macrocosm ", " Basics, Part II ")

Recreational facilities [ ]

A holodeck on an Intrepid -class vessel

Crew mess hall on board an Intrepid -class vessel

There were two holodecks aboard the ship. Located on Deck 6, these holodecks were proprietary Federation technology, being able to impersonate matter even at the molecular level. ( VOY : " Phage ", " Flesh and Blood ") They operated on separate holodeck reactors whose energy matrix were incompatible with the ship's primary power systems; even when a ship was low on power, the holodecks could function on a separate power source. ( VOY : " Parallax ", " Night ") Though by 2376 , Voyager was able to draw power from holodecks in an emergency along with other secondary power sources. ( VOY : " Fair Haven ")

On the Intrepid -class vessels, the mess hall was on Deck 2, Section 13. Some ships were equipped with four food replicators , with a private captain's dining room just behind the mess hall. This dining room could be reconfigured to serve as a kitchen , as done by Neelix aboard Voyager . The USS Bellerophon 's mess hall was also fitted in this manner. ( VOY : " Phage "; DS9 : " Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges ")

The mess hall was typically host to many social gatherings, including diplomatic affairs, birthday parties, memorial services, weddings, and holiday celebrations. The mess hall could also serve as a makeshift sickbay whenever that facility was disabled or otherwise overwhelmed. ( VOY : " Coda ", " Someone to Watch Over Me ", " Latent Image ", " Macrocosm ", " Homestead ", " Before and After ", " Year of Hell ", " Course: Oblivion ", " Memorial ")

A crew's lounge was located in the far aft section of the vessel's secondary hull, providing a view of space aft of the Intrepid -class starship. ( VOY : " Endgame ", etc.)

The Intrepid -class also had a gymnasium . ( VOY : " Eye of the Needle ")

Crew accommodations [ ]

Officers' quarters on board an Intrepid -class starship

The captain's bathroom

All crew and officers' quarters (except the captain's quarters on Deck 3) were located on Decks 2, 4, 8, 9, and 13, with special variable environment quarters on Deck 11 for crew with special comforts. Although the Intrepid -class was highly advanced, the quarters in general were smaller than those of other vessel classes because of its smaller dimensions. ( VOY : " The Q and the Grey ", " Q2 ")

There were several types of crew quarters aboard:

Standard crew quarters: These small quarters units were located within the primary hull and lack windows. They included a living area, a bedroom, and a bathroom. Primarily intended as shared accommodations for crewmen , the standard quarters were also assigned as private quarters to junior officers ( lieutenant junior grade and below); for example, Ensign Kim had his own quarters. The living area contained a replicator terminal and was customizable with a variety of furniture and decorations. ( VOY : " Good Shepherd ")
Officers' quarters: These quarters lined the edge of the saucer section and contained a living area, a bedroom, and a bathroom area. They were generally reserved for those of ranking lieutenant or higher. Members of the senior staff were typically assigned quarters featuring a pair of larger, wider windows. ( VOY : " Meld ", " Juggernaut ", " Live Fast and Prosper ")
Captain's quarters: The captain's quarters, located on Deck 3, were similar to the officers' quarters but were slightly larger. The captain had a large desk area and work terminal. His or her quarters featured five windows (below the navigation lamp), which offered an excellent view of space in front of the vessel; the captain's quarters were positioned below the mess hall . ( Star Trek: Voyager )

Scientific capabilities [ ]

A science lab aboard the USS Voyager

The Intrepid -class starship housed multiple scientific research labs , which included biology , medical , stellar cartography , and holographic research . ( VOY : " Day of Honor ", " Parallax ", " Revulsion ", " Fair Haven ")

Transport and cargo [ ]

Transporter rooms [ ].

Intrepid -class transporter room

The Intrepid -class featured three transporter facilities that were located on Deck 4. In case of emergencies, injured personnel could be directly transported to sickbay from anywhere in transporter range, including inside the ship. ( VOY : " Shattered ")

Like many Federation starships, the Intrepid -class' transporters had six standard pads located in front of a control console. Here the transporter controls were located in an elevated booth, and two officers could operate them in conjunction with a wall panel for more complicated transports. Like most systems aboard the Intrepid -class, the transporters utilized bio-neural gel packs in their processor systems. ( VOY : " Shattered ", " Counterpoint ")

Cargo bays [ ]

A cargo bay on the Intrepid -class

Cargo Bay 2 was designed for organic storage, with adjustable environmental controls . ( VOY : " Parallax ")

Auxiliary spacecraft systems [ ]

Located on Deck 10, in the aft dorsal portion of the secondary hull, Shuttlebay 1 was the primary port for entrance and egress for auxiliary craft and shuttles . Shuttlebay 1 was a large L-shaped room. ( VOY : " Alice ", " Q2 ") It had an arresting field to assist in slowing down incoming craft. ( VOY : " Barge of the Dead ")

Behind the main shuttlebay was an even larger hangar , known as Shuttlebay 2, where the construction, repair and maintenance of auxiliary craft was performed. Shuttlebay 2 could also be depressurized, and spacecraft could be launched from there. ( VOY : " Threshold ", " Extreme Risk ", " In the Flesh ")

The Intrepid -class starship was typically equipped with the following types of shuttlecraft: the Class 2 shuttle , the Type 6 shuttlecraft , and the Type 8 shuttlecraft . As well, it was also equipped with a runabout -size aeroshuttle , which was integrated into the underside of the ship when it was docked to the hull. ( VOY : " Extreme Risk ", et al. ; ENT : " Future Tense ")

Background information [ ]

Some of the information in this article is adapted from Rick Sternbach 's guide to the development of the class from Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 3, Issue 1 , under the Starfleet Technical Database banner.

When Rick Berman was faced with the task of deciding the name of this ship class, Michael Okuda sent Berman a memo featuring a list of approximately a dozen suggestions. Berman initially chose the name " Mercury ", but subsequently changed his mind, selecting " Intrepid " instead. ( A Vision of the Future - Star Trek: Voyager , p. 256)

Ronald D. Moore stated that he believed Voyager had a detachable saucer section . ( AOL chat , 1997 )

The Star Trek Encyclopedia (4th ed., vol. 2, pp. 374 & 449) identified the USS Intrepid and USS Valiant as Intrepid -class, though they were never seen on screen.

Development [ ]

The process of developing the Intrepid -class began in mid- 1993 , during secretive development meetings that served as the starting point for Star Trek: Voyager . With the meetings having begun in July of that year, Executive Producer Jeri Taylor , on 3 August 1993 , noted in a summary of the discussions thus far, " The ship is a sleek, nifty, new-generation vessel, with some improvements, though smaller than the Enterprise ." ( A Vision of the Future - Star Trek: Voyager , p. 175)

Rick Sternbach and Michael Okuda were brought into the development proceedings in early September 1993 and, in late September, Sternbach started sending memos to Executive Producer Rick Berman , concerning the ship class. ( A Vision of the Future - Star Trek: Voyager , pp. 198 & 208) One of these memos, dated 25 September , was a four-page document in which Sternbach commented on the class' size, saying that a ship half the size of the Enterprise -D would still be "an impressive vessel" and that – if it was instead about three quarters of the Enterprise 's size – it would still be in good company, being roughly the same size as the Vor'cha -class or Ambassador -class ships. Sternbach also updated Berman by saying he was about to begin sketching "some rough doodles" for the class' physical configuration. Somewhat concerned about how to differentiate the class from past vessels while simultaneously keeping a sense of lineage, Okuda wrote a memo to Berman, two days later , expressing this concern. ( A Vision of the Future - Star Trek: Voyager , p. 207)

In the first draft script of VOY : " Caretaker " (dated 8 June 1994 ), the Intrepid -class was referred to as " a sleek bullet of a ship, built for action, capable of holding a crew complement of one hundred and twenty-five. " This was different in the final draft of the teleplay (dated 1 September 1994 ), which had a scene description that still referred to the Intrepid -class as " a sleek bullet of a ship, built for action. " The crew complement, however, was now said, in dialogue, to be 141.

Warp drive capabilities [ ]

According to Star Trek: Starship Spotter and the Star Trek: Voyager Technical Manual , warp factor 6 is the actual cruising speed for the Intrepid -class. " Dragon's Teeth " would support this, as the episode begins with Voyager cruising at warp 6, as does " Pathfinder ", in which the average speed of warp 6.2 was estimated as the speed Voyager was traveling towards the Alpha Quadrant . According to the text of the Technical Manual , warp 9.2 is supposed to be the maximum sustainable speed, while warp 9.6 is the rated top speed and warp 9.9 is a speed that can be sustained for only a few minutes. In a speed chart, the Manual contradicts itself by giving instead warp 9.975 as the top-rated speed, which could be maintained for 12 hours. According to the chart, the 9.975 speed corresponds to a velocity of 3,056 times the speed of light . This would be much slower than what warp 9.9 was canonically established to be in " The 37's ", well over twenty-one thousand times the speed of light.

Canonically, in " Caretaker ", " Relativity ", and " Barge of the Dead ", Voyager is specifically stated having the maximum cruising speed of warp 9.975. In the episode " Threshold ", when accelerating to and attempting to match warp 9.97, the computer warned of imminent structural collapse. In the episode " The Swarm ", it is only possible to maintain warp 9.75 for twelve hours. It is also stated in the episode by Chakotay that Voyager is not able to sustain its maximum warp at that time. The maximum warp is however used in several episodes before and after "The Swarm" for extended periods. Finally, the maximum warp is given a canonical speed estimate in two episodes. In " Friendship One ", the ship is capable of crossing 132 light years in one month at maximum warp. This turns out to be only about 1,554 - 1,721 times the speed of light. In " Scorpion, Part II ", the ship is capable of crossing 40 light years in 5 days at maximum warp. This in turn is 2,922 times the speed of light. The later estimate is closer to the 3,056 times the speed of light mentioned in the Manual .

The reasons for Voyager 's lack of ability to maintain optimal warp speeds are given in the Star Trek: Voyager Technical Manual . There were very limited refueling and overhaul assets available during the journey, and the crew had to allow the engines down time for cooling. Furthermore, according to the Manual , the 75-year travel time figure established in "Caretaker" was never meant to be a realistic estimate. It was based on the assumption that Voyager would maintain warp 9.6 or warp 9.99 and travel uninterruptedly directly to Earth . A more realistic figure of two to four hundred years to cross the Delta Quadrant and into the Beta Quadrant was the more realistic predicament at the beginning of the series.

Designing the bridge [ ].

A Jim Martin concept art for the Intrepid -class' bridge

After six years as production designer on The Next Generation , Richard James was no stranger to the legacy of Star Trek and the production requirements of episodic television. When given the assignment to create a new starship from the inside out, he had to start up from scratch. Nothing had yet been established, and thus for his first meeting with Star Trek: Voyager ' s creators and producers, James decided to push the boundaries of everything that had gone before. ( The Art of Star Trek )

The script for VOY : " Caretaker " described the Intrepid -class bridge as " the most advanced, impressive Bridge facility in the history of Star Trek."

Early concept sketches show bridge designs without the large viewscreen in the front of the bridge and command functions decentralized, obviously breaking the traditional bridge mold. However, by exhaustively re-examining the dramatic requirements and technological underpinnings of the Star Trek bridge without preconceptions, Richard James rediscovered the strengths of the basic template laid out by Matt Jefferies almost thirty years earlier. With the broad strokes of the bridge's layout firmly embedded in Star Trek 's past, James and his team went on to bring a new interpretation to the bridge. ( The Art of Star Trek )

The Intrepid -class bridge included eleven monitors, all of which were fed composite video from the bridge's video control unit. This consisted of a wheeled cart with five 3/4-inch video decks and a couple of computers. Usage of the computers was only occasional and varied between either a single computer or both of them. ( Star Trek: Communicator issue 144, pp. 29 & 30)
