Multispatial probe

The multispatial probe was an advanced probe designed by Lieutenant Commander Tuvok of the USS Voyager in 2375. It was equipped with unimatrix shielding.
On the probe's first flight, a Malon export vessel, eleventh gradient attempted to steal it so they could locate suitable planets as dumping grounds for antimatter waste. To stop them, the Voyager crew sent the probe into the atmosphere of a class 6 gas giant. The probe was later retrieved by the newly constructed Delta Flyer, ahead of a competing salvage team sent by Malon Controller Vrelk.
Later in 2375, the Voyager crew used the multispatial probe to explore a pocket of subspace beyond a subspace sinkhole, where a shuttlecraft carrying Tuvok, Tom Paris, and the Doctor had crashed. The probe subsequently served as a transporter relay, allowing their rescue.
When Voyager and the bounty hunter race known as the Hazari began to think of plans to defeat a smart group known as the Think Tank, Tom Paris suggested they use the probe to scout subspace, where the group's ship was known to hide. However, B'Elanna Torres dismissed it, for it would take weeks to scout the area.
In 2376, B'Elanna Torres piloted a shuttle on a solo mission to retrieve the multispatial probe, after it entered an ion storm.
