History and specifications [ ]
24th century [ ].
This class shared its name with the Intrepid -class light cruiser launched by United Earth Starfleet in the 22nd century , which continued service in the UESPA branch of the newly formed Federation Starfleet in 2161 . ( ENT - Rise of the Federation novel : A Choice of Futures )
Development patch .
Intrepid -class schematics.
Initially the construction of four vessels were approved by Starfleet Command : the prototype USS Intrepid , USS Voyager , USS Stargazer , and the USS Pathfinder . ( ST reference : Starship Spotter ; TNG comic : " Heart of Darkness ")
The first two ships to be constructed, Intrepid and Voyager , were launched from the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards at the end of 2370 and the beginning of 2371 ( stardate 48038 ) respectively. ( ST reference : Starship Spotter )
By late 2377 , there were dozens of Intrepid -class starships in operation, and many were involved in operations against the Borg in that year . Ships of this class also saw action in the events surrounding the inauguration of the Unity One starbase in 2379 . ( ST video game : Armada II , ST video game : Starfleet Command III )
The Intrepid -class was introduced in the early 2370s decade and was Starfleet's answer to their growing need for a versatile and quick class of starships which were capable of excellent maneuvering at both impulse and warp speed . With their variable geometry warp nacelles , the Intrepid s had a greater control of their warp field , with the added bonus of not damaging the subspace layer. ( TNG video game : Armada II manual)
As well as being designed to be quick and maneuverable in combat, the Intrepid s were primarily designed to perform exploration, survey , and courier missions. The Intrepid 's advanced sensors made them an excellent exploratory vessel. ( ST reference : Starship Spotter )
The Intrepid -class was also one of the first Federation starship classes to be equipped to make a routine planetfall and be able to take off again with ease. ( ST reference : Starship Spotter ; VOY episodes : " The 37's ", " Tattoo ", " Basics ")
The Intrepid s were also equipped with some of the most advanced computer systems of the time, with bio-neural circuitry replacing most of the isolinear circuitry that had been prevalent on previous starship classes. The bio-neural circuitry sped up the computer's data functions and improved overall performance. ( VOY episode : " Caretaker "; ST reference : Starship Spotter )
Intrepid class with ablative armor .
Following the return of USS Voyager from a seven- year odyssey through the galaxy 's Delta Quadrant in December 2377 , the futuristic technology the ship had brought back, like the ablative armor generator and transphasic torpedos , were classified, and studied under Project Full Circle . ( VOY novels : Homecoming , The Farther Shore , Full Circle )
USS Voyager following its post-return refit .
The breakthrough in understanding the quantum slipstream drive recovered by Voyager from Species 116 , while hampered by a scarcity of benamite , allowed the installation of the QSD into select starships. Voyager and a fleet of ships were refitted with QSD. ( VOY novels : Full Circle , Unworthy )
An additional modification enabled the Intrepid -class ship to perform saucer separations , including during emergencies and at warp speed . ( VOY novel : The Eternal Tide )
25th century [ ]
As a result of the Voyager journey, this class was considered highly successful. By the 2400s decade , the Intrepid class was kept in service and had also spawned several subclasses of long-range science vessels . This included the larger Pathfinder -class starship in 2410 . ( STO Issue 07: "USS Pathfinder ")
In that year, Voyager was a leading ship during the Khitomer Alliance 's Operation Delta Rising . ( STO - Delta Quadrant missions : " Mindscape ", " Dust to Dust ")
Continued retrofits maintained the Intrepid class and its sister ships as state-of-the-art spacecraft into the era of the Khitomer Alliance in 2411 . ( STO - Legacy mission : " The Measure of Morality (Part 2) ", STO website : Legendary Miracle Worker Multi-Mission Science Vessel )
31st-32nd century [ ]
3180s configuration.
Ships of the class were active in the 31st century . By the 3060s decade , the Temporal Wars were over. In 3069 , ships of this class were destroyed in the Burn . ( DSC episode : " People of Earth ")
At least one ship of this type remained in service by the 3180s . Around that time, the USS Voyager -J operated from inside the distortion field hiding the location of the Federation Headquarters . Unlike the launch configuration of the Intrepid -class, this refit did away with nacelle pylons altogether and had detached nacelles. The ship's "J" suffix on the registry number caught the attention of the time-displaced USS Discovery crew when they arrived at Federation HQ in the year 3189 . ( DSC episode : " Die Trying ")
When this ship type was acquired by the Khitomer Alliance in 2411 , [6] its official designation was Janeway -class command science vessel, thus differentiating this subclass from the baseline Intrepid . ( STO website : House Reborn : The Janeway Class Takes Flight )
During the conflicts around the Omega particle and the Undine incursion in 2376 and 2377 , portions of the ships' hull would change color to indicate allegiance. When assimilated by the Borg , the hull and warp plasma changed further. ( ST video games : Armada , Armada II )
In the 25th century, the design of the Intrepid -class long-range science vessel allowed its commanding officer to choose from different designs of livery, which could be modified further at starbases . These options were numbered Types, Upgrade and Veteran. ( STO - Klingon War mission : " Welcome to Earth Spacedock ")
Furthermore, the installation of deflector shields from specific factions modified the hull appearance, including shields from the Reman Resistance , the Breen Confederacy and the Dominion . ( STO missions : " Coliseum ", " Cold Storage ", " Boldly They Rode ")

Intrepid Class
In 2370 a new class of ship entered service in Starfleet. The ship would be, when commissioned, the fastest class of starship in service in any fleet. She would be a frigate/light explorer/scout ship. Well armed, maneuverable, well protected, and posses a sensor suite comparable to the Galaxy Class'. The ship features a unique warp nacelle design, which allow the nacelles to pivot up when in warp flight, improving the warp field. The class was also the first to use bioneural gel packs in the computer systems.
Starfleet's shipbuilding policy of the last century has emphasized ever larger, more capable designs capable of carrying out a wide variety of missions within a single hull, and many times simultaneously. However, this has led to a gradual fall in the numbers of vessels which can be fielded - where the Excelsior Class numbers well over a hundred, the Ambassadors were limited to a production run of twenty six, and the Galaxy Class to six ships initially, fourteen ships at present. While the exploration capacity of these Classes is still sufficient to meet the tasks demanded of them, the lack of numbers has led to a certain restriction in flexibility. Losses among the Galaxy Class have also emphasized that placing "all the eggs in one basket" is not necessarily the wisest choice.
The Intrepid design was fielded partly to correct this situation. The design requirement, issued in 2358, called for a vessel in the 360 meter range with a volume some 15% that of a Galaxy Class. Although the limited size meant that the vessel would have much lower overall capabilities than the Galaxy Class, this was to be in some part offset by the use of the latest technology. The ships computer system would be the most advanced model in service; the increased automation this afforded combined with a new generation of sensor equipment would allow the Intrepid Class almost 70% of the scanning and analysis capabilities of a Galaxy Class starship. A top cruise speed some three times that of the Galaxy would further enhance the vessels exploration capabilities.
Diplomatic functions would be more problematic - hosting such functions requires supporting large numbers of extra personnel, and the Intrepid Class simply would not have the room for this. Her diplomatic capabilities are therefore limited to relatively small events generally involving Federation negotiations with a single party.
The Intrepid's combat role was also somewhat limited by her size; unable to carry large numbers of torpedoes or high power phaser banks, Starfleet settled on a scouting and support mission for the ship. Fitted out with type-VIII phaser arrays and single fire torpedo tubes standard. The Intrepid would be capable of engaging vessels the size of a K'T'inga Class Battle Cruiser or Galor Class Destroyer one-on-one. Her high speed and maneuverability combined with the advanced sensor system would also make her a perfect platform to conduct long range reconnaissance missions ahead of fleet operations. Within a major fleet battle the Intrepid would also act in support of larger ships, harrying enemy fleet units and drawing fire away from larger Federation ships.
Development of the intrepid Class went relatively smoothly in the early and mid stages, but a major problem arose in 2370 with the discovery that the energy emissions of standard warp drives caused considerable cumulative damage to the structure of subspace. Starfleet called for all designs then in progress to be modified to eliminate this effect, and it was decided to use the Intrepid Class as a test bed for this technology. After some experimentation it was found that the effect could be avoided by using a warp field with a much elongated Z-axis, combined with complex warp field modulation and the utilization of new materials during the manufacture of warp coils. This has led to the ships saucer section having the forward ellipse now becoming common on Federation designs. The new warp field configuration did lead to a 15% reduction in the speed of the Intrepid Class across all flight regimes, bringing the top cruise speed down from Warp 9.99 to Warp 9.975, and the maximum rated speed from Warp 9.992 to Warp 9.985.
The program suffered a serious setback when the USS Voyager, second in the Class, was apparently lost on her first mission. Building was suspended on the Class while the designs were subjected to intense scrutiny; after a year without results the Intrepid project was resumed. It has since been discovered that Voyager was in fact displaced to the other side of the Galaxy, in the Delta Quadrant, by an alien technology, from where she is now attempting to make her way home.
One feature unique to the Intrepid Class among Federation Starships of this size is the ability to land on a planetary surface. This feature has been incorporated after several incidents in which transporters and shuttle craft have been unable to operate through exotic environmental conditions during evacuations or other surface related operations.
In the early 2390s the class was upgraded with new Type-XIII phaser arrays, slipstream drive, improved computer hardware with the latest LCARS version, and improved power allocation systems.
2358: Starfleet issues a general design brief for a multi-purpose vessel capable of scouting, high speed, exploration, and the ability to land on the surface of a planet. The general idea is for a modular starship based on a totally new design. The Class will be called the Intrepid Class.
2360: Starfleet views the theoretical proposals for the Intrepid and approve briefs for the propulsion, computer, weapons and spaceframe parameters are sent out to Starfleet design agencies for consultation.
2361: Propulsion dynamic are approved and sent to the Jupiter Station for in-depth study. Mid year M/ARA design is standardized for the Intrepid Class. Spaceframe design is approved and full specifications are forwarded to Utopia Planitia for designations. USS Intrepid Production begins with a projected 8 year turnover for the prototype ship.
2362 : Design work on Intrepid Class warp coils are approved. The stardrive section nears chassis completion. Saucer section nears 30% chassis completion.
2363: Primary and secondary chassis's now at 100% completion on USS Intrepid . Computers are delivered for fitting work.
2364: Work continues on habitat and out hull sections for USS Intrepid . Late in year computer cores are activated and ship functions begin to be transferred from station control to ship control.
2366: Computer system now operating at 72% of maximum. System expected to become self aware within 14 months. Warpcore begins primary testing. Antimatter regulation control is found to be outside acceptable levels. Primary magnetic containment malfunction found to be a problem. Stardrive section near completion with final attachment of navigational deflector array. Bridge module attached to primary hull.
2368: Warp Core passes Review Three and it tested to 90% peak. Computer system fully self aware and umbilical from the station are cut as the ship become self sufficient. Impulse systems pass Review Three and being autonomous low level power control. Secondary Back up Generators are shut down and become Auxiliary system control. USS Intrepid leaves Dry Dock for primary testing.
2370: High warp speeds found to cause damage to subspace. USS Intrepid docked while solutions are found. Eight months later, when solutions are found, USS Intrepid goes to Utopia Planitia and warp stress coating is applied. USS Intrepid begins deep space assessments. USS Intrepid returns to the San Francisco Yards for final exterior markings and paint. On 1, March 2370 the USS Intrepid is officially commissioned by Starfleet at Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards during a brief ceremony. Bridge plaque is put in pride of place and Captain Fred Stone takes command of the Intrepid. USS Intrepid is ordered to begin shakedown cruises estimate to last two years.

The Intrepid -class starship is a Federation design that entered service in the latter half of the 24th century. At less than half the size of a Galaxy-class starship, the Intrepid -class is considered "quick and smart."
General Overview
When first commissioned, the Intrepid -class featured many innovations then becoming available, not least being the tricyclic input manifold of the warp core and variable-geometry pylons. The class is also the first to incorporate bio-neural gel packs and is equipped with the Mark 1 Emergency Medical Hologram system.
Capabilities upon introduction are 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 is 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 Kelvin to 1790 Kelvin.
Class History
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, is commissioned in 2371. She is the first ship to test the class 9 warp drive in deep space.
The performance of the Intrepid -class is well reflected by Voyager. That ship is notable for independently, and successfully, completing an unscheduled seven-year journey across the previously unexplored Delta Quadrant, 70 thousand light years from Federation space, from 2371 to 2378. The vessel is completely cut off from communication with Starfleet until 2374, and has no access to any Starfleet supplies or facilities for the entire length of its journey
Technical Data
Physical arrangement.
The hull configuration of the Intrepid -class adopted the saucer-type shape of previous starship classes, that of primary hull, secondary hull, and nacelles driven by the physics of warp generation and control. One of the Intrepid -class' most notable characteristics are 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.
Following the Starfleet standard, Deck 1 is 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 is 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, are the quarters of the starship's commanding officer, served by five windows.
The dorsal saucer section is covered by four phaser arrays, two of which extended from the aft curvature along the length of the saucer and. The aft firing arc is covered by two smaller arrays, angled on the rear of the saucer section. The relative bottom of the ship is 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. Docked to the underside of the Intrepid -class' primary hull is the vessel's aeroshuttle.
Further aft, the main navigational deflector dish is found at the foreside of the Intrepid -class' secondary hull. Located right above the deflector are the forward photon torpedo launchers. On the underside of the secondary hull are located three sets of plates that support 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; and the aft cover plate contained the operational intermix chamber hatch, for ejecting the warp core in case of emergency.
One of the few Starfleet starship classes capable of atmospheric entry and planetary landing, the Intrepid -class starship is 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 are to assume their code-blue stations.
With 15 decks and a mass of 700,000 metric tons, there are 257 rooms on a Intrepid -class vessel.

Command and Control Systems
The main bridge of the Intrepid -class starship is ovoid and served as the nerve center of the vessel. At the bridge's rear is a large bank of consoles and data readout screens. Center of that area is the master systems display; control consoles flanked it on both sides. Starboard of the information center, past the starboard side turbolift, is the station of the chief tactical officer. This area is 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 is found on the other side of the bridge, where the operations console is 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 is 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.
Forward of the upper ship operations areas are 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. Also, this room is usually the preferred place where the captain could hold private discussions or receive classified communications. Aboard the Intrepid -class starship, the work desk is 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 curiously has a more spacious, luxurious ready room.
In the center of the Intrepid -class' bridge is the command area. Here, seating is provided for the vessel's commanding officer and his or her first officer, seated to the captain's left. Between these chairs is 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, is another command console that could be operated to perform more bridge duties.
Directly forward of and two steps lower than the central command area is 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 is 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.
To the right of conn sat the chief engineer. Though the position is far better served in main engineering, situations arose where the engineer's presence is needed on the bridge. The console allowed complete control over all engineering systems. Directly opposite sat the chief science officer at a similar console.
Propulsion Systems
Main engineering aboard an Intrepid -class starship is located on Deck 11. The room is constructed around the matter-antimatter reaction assembly warp core, a class 9 warp drive with a tricyclic input manifold. The core provided a maximum output of 4,000 teradynes per second. The warp drive allowed the ship a top sustainable cruise velocity of warp factor 9.975. The Intrepid -class also featured a secondary warp assembly.
The main engineering room featured two levels. In front of the warp core is a large monitoring area on the lower engineering level. Also located on this level is 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.
The main impulse engines on an Intrepid -class starship are located on the aft end of the pylons leading to the warp nacelles. Intrepid -class starships are also equipped with auxiliary impulse reactors.
Warp Core Ejection
n 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 is 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.
Should the core not go critical, the vessel could recover it with tractor beams and careful manipulation.
Tactical Systems
Phaser systems.
The Intrepid -class utilized a ship-mounted phaser array system. The dorsal saucer section is 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. The aft firing arc is covered by two smaller arrays, angled on the rear of the saucer section. The relative bottom of the ship is 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 is provided by an array that extended across the ventral engineering hull just fore of the warp core ejection port. Far-aft strips are 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.
Additional phaser banks included at least four separate phaser emitters, two in the aft torpedo launcher, one aft phaser bank located behind the second tractor beam emitter, in the aft section of deck 14, and an embedded emitter on the ventral surface of the ships right nacelle.
Torpedo Systems
The Intrepid -class housed five standard torpedo launchers (two fore and two aft, and one on the dorsal side of the ship ). The USS Voyager is loaded with type-6 photon torpedoes in 2371. She also has at least four class-10 photon torpedo warheads and two tricobalt devices in her torpedo arsenal, as well as spatial charges. Cardassian quantum torpedoes are also compatible with Intrepid -class launchers, with some modification.
Deflector Shields
The Intrepid -class' deflector shield is a symmetrical, oscillating subspace graviton field. During combat, the shield sent data on what type of weapon is being used on it and what frequency and phase the weapon used. Once the tactical officer analyzed these data, the shield could be configured to have the same frequency as the incoming weapon, but different nutation. This tactic dramatically increased shield efficiency. There are a total of fourteen shield grids on the Intrepid -class.
Tractor Beam
Each Intrepid -class tractor beam emitter is directly mounted to the primary members of the vessel's framework. The forward emitter is located on the underside of the secondary hull under the main deflector dish. The second emitter is located at the aft end of the secondary hull in the aft section of Deck 14.
Crew Support Systems
Medical facilities.
There is one large sickbay facility located on Deck 5, equipped with an intensive-care unit (ICU), biohazard 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. 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.
Three biobeds lined the walls of sickbay's ICU; these are for patients receiving medical care and are equipped with biofunction monitors. Located in the corner of the main ward is a surgical bed, where major surgeries are performed and critical patients are treated. A large, sophisticated sensor cluster is 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 is also designed to use a surgical support frame. The small area that the surgical bed is located in could be isolated by a force field. If necessary, surgery could be conducted in the intensive care ward if there is an overflow of patients or if another patient is present to donate blood.
Located in the center of the sickbay facility is the chief medical officer's office. Here, the CMO is 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 is 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 is located a tiny area for storage of the deceased.
Recreational Facilities
There are two holodecks aboard the ship. Located on Deck 6, these holodecks are proprietary Federation technology and could comfortably support fifteen people at a time. The Intrepid-class' holodecks are of a next generation of holographic technology, even further advanced than those applied on board Starfleet vessels during the 2360s, being able to impersonate matter even at the molecular level.
On the Intrepid-class vessels, the mess hall is on Deck 2, Section 13. Some ships are 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 Vanguard's mess hall is also fitted in this manner.
The mess hall is typically host to many social gatherings, including diplomatic affairs, birthday parties, and holiday celebrations. The mess hall could also serve as a makeshift sickbay whenever that facility is disabled or otherwise overwhelmed.
A crew's lounge is located in the far aft section of the vessel's secondary hull, providing a view of space aft of the Intrepid-class starship.
The Intrepid-class also has a gymnasium.
Crew Accommodations
All crew and officers' quarters (except the captain's quarters on Deck 3) are 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 is highly advanced, the quarters in general are smaller than those of other vessel classes because of its smaller dimensions.
There are several types of crew quarters aboard:
| Standard Crew Quarters | These small quarters units are located within the primary hull and lack windows. They included a living area, a bedroom, and a bathroom. Crew members of Lieutenant Junior-Grade are given their own quarters; Ensigns and crewmen are required to share their quarters (except for senior officers). The living area contained a replicator terminal and is customizable with a variety of furniture and decorations. | |
| Officers' Quarters | These quarters lined the edge of the saucer section and contained a living area, a bedroom, and a bathroom area. They are generally reserved for those of ranking lieutenant or higher. Members of the senior staff are typically assigned quarters featuring a pair of larger, wider windows. | |
| Captain's quarters | The captain's quarters, located on Deck 3, are similar to the officers' quarters but are slightly larger. The captain has 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 are positioned below the mess hall. |
Transporter Systems
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.
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.
Auxiliary Spacecraft Systems
Located in the aft dorsal portion of the secondary hull, the main shuttlebay was the primary port for entrance and egress, as well as management of auxiliary craft and shuttles.
Inward from the main shuttlebay was a secondary storage and maintenance area behind huge inner airlock doors. This secondary area was almost as large as the main shuttlebay and was commonly referred to as Shuttlebay 2.
The Intrepid-class starship was typically equipped with the following types of shuttlecraft:
- Class 2 Shuttle
- Type-6 Shuttlecraft
- Type-8 Shuttlecraft
The crew of the USS Voyager, stranded in the Delta Quadrant, constructed the Delta Flyer for more complex auxiliary spacecraft operations. The craft was in operation since early 2375. The Intrepid-class was also equipped with an aeroshuttle, which was visible on the underside.
