| WARP ENGINE NACELLE | In 2370, following the formation of a subspace rift within the Hekaras Corridor, the Federation Council imposed a Federation-wide maximum speed limit of warp 5  [Force of Nature]. The Intrepid class of ship entered service soon afterwards. Voyager, an Intrepid class ship, is driven by a variable geometry warp drive system. This creates significantly reduced stress on the time-space continuum, reducing the possibility of long-term cumulative damage to subspace. |
| PHOTON RADIATOR GRILLE | Spill ports prevent excessive photonic build-up in the field release gap between the warp engine's warp-coils. There is a photon radiator grille on each warp nacelle. |  |
| IMPULSE ENGINE | Secondary propulsion system for the ship. It employs nuclear fusion reactors to accelerate helium plasma products to near lightspeed, producing Newtonian thrust for space-normal velocities. |
| BUSSARD COLLECTOR | Also known as a Bussard ramscoop, the Bussard Collector employs powerful electromagnets to attract interstellar hydrogen ions for use as fuel by the ship's fusion reactors. The concept was developed in the 1960s by real-life physicist Robert Bussard. |
| FORMATION LIGHTS | Visual annunciator of the flashing light type, for formation and docking movements. |  Picture size 55Kb. ALL the formation lights on Voyager. |
