The initial standard complement of the Pathfinder-class was 5 shuttlecraft and 4 Cargo Management Units. A variety of modules could be quickly installed to allow for Pathfinder starships to be easily adapted to their specific missions. Two large, modular mission bays were housed in the secondary hull. Technical specificationsĭesigned around a state-of-the-art quantum slipstream drive, the Pathfinder-class also served as a culmination of technologies implemented in past long-range science vessels.Īnother key component of the subclass' versatility was its modularity.
When Admiral Tuvok was satisfied with Voyager's performance with the upgrades, the class entered full production. Most of the advanced technology used in the subclass were first tested on the USS Voyager, which itself was completely updated before it departed for the Delta Quadrant as part of Operation Delta Rising. This led to the creation of the Pathfinder-class, named after the mission that helped bring the USS Voyager home. When planning first began for Operation Delta Rising, the Starfleet Corps of Engineers quickly realized that another update of the Intrepid-class was in order.
