Cochrane was a Class 2 shuttle used aboard the USS Voyager during it's journey through the Delta Quadrant during the late 24th century until it's destruction in 2374. It was numbered "04" in order to register it as Voyager's fourth shuttlecraft, and was the shuttle used for Voyager's transwarp tests.

History

In 2372, the Cochrane was outfitted with transwarp drive and became the first Starfleet vessel to break the transwarp threshold. The technology was abandoned when it was learned that such a speed induces hyper-evolution. (VOY: "Threshold")

The shuttle was briefly lost in an interfold layer, a region between space and subspace in 2373. (VOY: "Real Life")

The shuttle was used in 2374 during an attempt to recover Voyager's warp core; but it was soon destroyed by the Caatati. (VOY: "Day of Honor")

Named for Zefram Cochrane. (Star Trek Encyclopedia 2nd ed., p. 80)
