Federation Shuttles and Ground Vehicles Database - Delta Flyer

NAME		INFO
Delta Flyer		Advanced shuttlecraft designed and built by the crew of the U.S.S. Voyager in early 2375. The Delat Flyer featured ultra-aerodynamic contours, retractable nacelles, parametallic hull plating, a tetraburnium alloy hull, unimatric shielding, and Borg-inspired weapons systems including photonic missiles. VOY "Extreme Risk" The ship also employed duranium construction in its hull. VOY "Once Upon a Time" Thomas Paris, who was responsible for the basic design of the spacecraft, incorporated ancient control levers and meters from his Captain Proton hologram into the Delta Flyer's pilot control console because he wanted to feel the ship he was piloting. Numerous other Voyager crew members collaborated on the Flyer's design and construction. On its first mission, the shuttle entered the atmosphere of a gas giant planet on a mission to retrieve Voyager's advanced multispatial probe. VOY "Extreme Risk" The Delta Flyer was seriously damaged during an ion storm when it was forced to make its first planetfall. The shuttle and its crew were trapped in a cavern under tons of rock, but both survived due to the robust construction techniques employed in the vessel. VOY "Once Upon a Time" Star Trek Encyclopedia III Destroyed by Borg Class 4 Tactical Vessel. VOY "Unimatrix Zero"
Delta Flyer II		The Delta Flyer II was a reconstruction of the original Delta Flyer that was in service aboard the USS Voyager in the 2370's. Its predecessor had been destroyed during a mission to infiltrate a Borg Cube the previous year. The Delta Flyer II took part in the Trans-Stellar Rally, where it was rigged by another competitor to explode. Its destruction was averted after the warp core was ejected into a class J nebula, containing the antimatter explosion. VOY "Drive" This version of the Delta Flyer sported pop-out impulse thrusters, which gave the ship greater sublight speed.
