Revision as of 01:48, 20 January 2007
The Pathfinder Project was the title of a project that attempted to communicate with USS Voyager, which was stranded in the Delta Quadrant. It was created sometime between 2374 and 2376, following the discovery of Voyager`s presence in the Delta Quadrant when the Doctor was sent to the Prometheus. It was overseen by Admiral Owen Paris, and was based at Starfleet's Communications Research Center. The day-to-day running of the project was handled by Commander Peter Harkins, and its staff included Lieutenant Reginald Barclay. Deep Space 9 also assisted the project by providing interstellar phenomena forecasts.
It first made contact with Voyager in 2376, using the MIDAS array to create a microwormhole. Although the first communication was brief and problematic- merely allowing Admiral Paris to talk to Captain Kathryn Janeway, who assured him that his son was performing well- the communications technology improved to a level whereby contact could be made on a regular basis - every day for eleven minutes by 2377. (VOY: "Pathfinder", "Life Line", "Inside Man", "Endgame")
- It is possible that the project was terminated after the successful return of Voyager to the Alpha Quadrant, or perhaps it was extended to serve as a method to communicate with other ships at far ranging distances.
- In the non-canon DS9 Mission Gamma novel "Lesser Evil", the crew of the USS Defiant consult the Pathfinder Project's database for Voyager's information on the Borg after discovering a Borg presence in the Gamma Quadrant.
