The U.S.S. Voyager NCC-74656 was constructed at the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards orbiting Mars and was launched from Earth Station McKinley on stardate 48038.5 in 2371 under the command of Captain Kathryn Janeway. Voyager was famous for completing an unscheduled seven-year journey across the Delta Quadrant, as well as numerous first contacts and technological innovations.

U.S.S. Voyager Bridge | Deck 1 (2371)

The bridge of the U.S.S. Voyager was ovoid in shape with standing stations and a large master systems display adorning the rear wall. The tactical console and the operations consoles were positioned at the rear starboard and port sides, respectively. One elevation lower, the central command area of the bridge contained stations for the captain and first officer, with additional consoles another elevation lower for science and engineering on the port and starboard sides, respectively. The ship’s conn station was placed centrally at the forward area of the bridge at one elevation lower than the central command area.

Ship Model (Physical and Digital)

As portrayed in Star Trek: Voyager (TV, 1995 - 2001)

U.S.S. Voyager was designed by production illustrator Rick Sternbach, under production designer Richard James. The miniature was built by Tony Meininger’s shop, and a digital version was built by DreamWorks Digital for certain shots.

Designed by production designer Richard James, John Eaves, and James Martin, the U.S.S. Voyager bridge was distinct in several ways from bridges that came before it. The captain’s chair was no longer in the center of the bridge, and was instead placed on the port side of the central area, with the first officer’s chair in the same position on the starboard side. At the time of production, this was the largest Star Trek bridge built for either television or film.
