This page	Forward hull Shuttlebay Dedication plaque

On the forward hull, an auxiliary deflector dish supplements the main dish, and a large bank of sensor instruments provides data on phenomena along Voyager's flight path.	Flanking the auxiliary deflector and positioned in other locations around the ship are the transporter emitters, the large flat antennae responsible for sending and receiving the transporters' focussed matter-streams.	There are also the reaction control thrusters at several points around the hull.	There are also escape pod hatches at numerous points.

Voyager travelled at 200 kilometres per hour with the reaction control thrusters in "drift mode" in [#6 The Cloud]. In [#18 Elogium] Janeway orders Paris to ease Voyager away slowly from the swarm of space-dwelling lifeforms who are moving at 3,000 k.p.h. so as not to disturb their natural behavioiur, and Paris moves the ship at 200 k.p.h. Later, after damage to ship's systems, Torres is able to provide only enough power to allow maneuvering thrusters to move the ship at 100 k.p.h.

Groupings of half-round tubes which generally follow the defensive shield grid are part of the structural integrity field (SIF), which comprise the energy devices that surround the ship in a shaped forcefield and keep the ship rigid during high impulse and warp flight as well as during attacks by hostile forces.

Voyager's phasers are contained in large strategically placed multi-emitter strips. The picture (right) shows Voyager firing phasers using the starboard phaser array, with another volley starting up from the port emitters. More information in SHIP: Weapons.

[#79 Concerning Flight]

Between the bridge and the forward sensor platform the ship's name and registry number NCC-74656 appear.

The registry number is in a font called Federation Hull - download at FONTS.

Warning graphics and signs, usually in red, can be seen around the phaser emitters, escape hatches and other access areas.

The shuttlebay is located at the very rear of Voyager. The yellow markings are used by shuttlecraft pilots for visual alignment of the final approach sequence. Immediately forward of the shuttlebay is the shuttlecraft service bay, where there are facilities for storing, repairing, maintaining and manufacturing auxiliary craft.

All starships carry a dedication plaque, which is kept on the bridge by the door to the briefing room [#121 Equinox, Part Two]. Voyager's dedication plaque lists members of the show's production staff, with Gene Roddenberry given as the Chief of Staff. More information at SHIP: Bridge: page 1, subheading Dedication Plaque.
