The '''''Delta Flyer II''''' was a reconstruction of the original ''[[Delta Flyer]]'' that was in service aboard the {{USS|Voyager}} in the [[2370s]].  Its predecessor had been destroyed during a mission to infiltrate a [[Borg cube]] the previous year.

[[Image:Delta Flyer warp core.jpg|thumb|The ''Delta Flyer's'' ejected warp core]]
 
The ''Delta Flyer II''{{'}}s first mission was to take part in the first [[Antarian Trans-stellar Rally|Trans-Stellar Rally]], where it was rigged by another competitor to explode. Its destruction was averted after the warp core was ejected into a [[class J nebula]], containing the [[Warp core breach|antimatter explosion]]. It was also on this flight that [[Tom Paris]] proposed to [[B'Elanna Torres]], and they subsequently went away on the ''Flyer'' for their honeymoon.
 
  
The ''Delta Flyer II'' saw action when [[Seven of Nine]]'s [[cortical implant]] began to malfunction, infiltrating a damaged Borg ship to steal an implant from one of the many Borg corpses. Although the attempt itself proved pointless, since Seven needed a 'transplant' from a ''living'' Borg, the endeavor was still an impressive demonstration.

* [[Delta Flyer|The original ''Flyer'']]  was destroyed during a mission to infiltrate a [[Borg]] cube in early [[2377]].  
  
On a later mission, while crewed by [[Harry Kim]], Seven of Nine and the Doctor, the ''Delta Flyer II'' was captured by a race at war with their holograms, or 'photonics', who nearly destabilized [[The Doctor]]'s holographic matrix. To save him, Seven transferred The Doctor into her Borg implants to keep him safe until they were able to send a message to ''Voyager'', allowing him to control her body and experience real sensations for the first time.
 
  
It was on a mission in the ''Delta Flyer II'' that Harry Kim, Seven of Nine and {{MA|Neelix|Neelix}} encountered a damaged ship that requested Kim become its captain until they reached their destination. The experience did not go as well as Kim had hoped (mainly because the crew turned out to be lying about the contents of their cargo), but it still taught him some valuable lessons about command.
 
  
The ''Delta Flyer II'' was used by [[Chakotay]], [[Tuvok]] and Paris to pursue a vessel crewed by [[Hirogen]] created Holograms into the atmosphere of a [[Class Y planet]]. They disabled the vessels shields to beam B'Elanna Torres to safety, then rescue The Doctor and surviving Hirogen Hunters.
 
  
The ''Delta Flyer II'' also proved useful, albeit indirectly, as a means of rescuing the crew after they were nearly all abducted and brainwashed by a group of aliens called the [[Quarren (species)|Quarren]]. At the time of the abduction, Chakotay, Harry Kim and Neelix were using the ''Flyer II'' on a diplomatic mission to another planet, and were thus spared the attack. Following the mission, they were able to recover ''Voyager'' and The Doctor, who had remained behind and activated the newly-created [[Emergency Command Hologram]] protocols to repair the ship. With this minuscule crew, ''Voyager'' tracked down its missing crewmen and was eventually able to effect a rescue.
 
  
A mission in the ''Delta Flyer II'' also proved vital in another regard; teaching [[Q]]'s son, [[Q (Junior)]], how to take responsibility for his actions. When Q Junior stole the ''Delta Flyer II'' and tried to run away from ''Voyager'' to escape his father, accompanied by [[Icheb]], it was Icheb becoming injured that convinced Q Junior to make up for what he had done. As a result, Q Junior was able to return to the Continuum.
 
  
The ''Flyer II'' also saw use on ''Voyager''{{'}}s first official Starfleet mission for seven years; finding the lost ''[[Friendship 1]]'' [[probe]], launched centuries ago as a means of telling other civilizations about Earth's culture and technology in order to announce humanities' future exploration of the galaxy. While, ''Friendship 1'' was built with the intention of spreading a message of peace, it is a excellent example of why Starfleet later established the [[Prime Directive]]. The inhabitants of the planet where ''Friendship 1'' was discovered, had used the information it conveyed to rapidly advance their technology. This rapid advancement, specifically in anti-matter technology, caused a nuclear winter and irradiated the entire surface of their planet. The inhabitants blamed humanity for the disaster, convinced that the probe had been used as a preemptive strike against them. Their fears were re-enforced when ''Voyager'' appeared to recover the probe. Tom Paris, Neelix and [[Joseph Carey]] were taken hostage by the inhabitants in an effort to force Captain Janeway to relocate them to a new home to atone for the destruction caused by ''Friendship 1''. After providing medical care for a sick infant, the away team were able to convince the inhabitants that no harm had been intended, although Joseph Carey was shot and killed before matters could be straightened out.

One of the more humorous occasions where the ''Delta Flyer II'' saw use was when Paris, much to his chagrin, was forced to take piloting lessons after violating a local rule of a planet the crew were visiting for shore leave. However, due to the need to provide aid for a people with a unique way of life, Paris was forced to leave before the lesson was finished, and consequently received an automatic fail.

Fighting alongside Neelix's ship, the ''[[Baxial]]'', the ''Flyer II'' proved pivotal in the defense of a Talaxian colony against the miners who wished to force the colonists out, buying Neelix enough time to plant [[force field]] emitters to protect the colonists.
 
 
 
The ''Flyer II''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s last use prior to ''Voyager''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s return to the [[Alpha Quadrant]] occurred when The Doctor was forced to steal the ''Flyer II'' and the warp core to bargain for [[Captain]] [[Kathryn Janeway]]'s life after she was abducted by an [[alien]] race. With the aid of Paris and Tuvok in a shuttlecraft, The Doctor and Janeway were able to escape with the warp core.

The Delta Flyer II in USS Voyager's shuttlebay

The Delta Flyer II was a reconstruction of the original Delta Flyer that was in service aboard the USS Voyager.

This version was equipped with pulse phased weapons and a duranium-reinforced hull.
As was the original, this craft had phasers and photon torpedos.


Delta Flyer II sported pop-out impulse thrusters, which gave the ship greater sublight speeds.
The interior was slightly redesigned with an emphasis on comfort.
The main flight controls were redesigned more like a cross-over between a 20th century aircraft control column, and a control stick, giving the pilot a more hands-on feeling as opposed to conventional touch panels.


Fighting alongside Neelix's ship, this Delta Flyer proved pivotal in the defense of a Talaxian colony against miners who wished to force the colonists out.
