Project Pathfinder

The Pathfinder Project, also known as Project Pathfinder or informally Project Voyager, was a Starfleet Communications initiative in the late 24th century. Its goal was to establish contact with the USS Voyager, which was stranded in the Delta Quadrant.

Key Details:

• Founded: 2374
• Headquarters: Communications Research Center, San Francisco, Earth
• Mission: Enable communication between the Alpha Quadrant and Voyager
• Leadership: Overseen by Admiral Owen Paris, with Commander Pete Harkins managing daily operations
• Notable Personnel: Lieutenant Reginald Barclay, who played a crucial role in making contact

Achievements:

• The project first contacted Voyager in 2376 using the Mutara Interdimensional Deep Space Array System, creating a micro-wormhole.
• Initially, communication was brief, but over time, the technology improved, allowing regular contact.
• By 2378, the crew received monthly data streams containing letters, tactical upgrades, and news from Earth.
• The final breakthrough, Operation Watson, enabled two-way visual communication for 11 minutes daily.
