The '''Pathfinder Project''', also referred to as '''Project ''Voyager''''', was the title of a [[Star Fleet Communications]] project that attempted to communicate with {{USS|Voyager}}, which was stranded in the [[Delta Quadrant]].

It was created sometime between [[2374]] and [[2376]], following the discovery of ''Voyager's'' presence in the Delta Quadrant when [[the Doctor]] was sent to the {{USS|Prometheus|Prometheus class}}. It was overseen by [[Admiral]] [[Owen Paris]], and was based at Star Fleet's [[Communications Research Center]]. The day-to-day running of the project was handled by [[Commander]] [[Peter Harkins]], and its staff included [[Lieutenant]] [[Reginald Barclay]]. [[Deep Space 9]] also assisted the project by providing interstellar phenomena forecasts.  It first made contact with ''Voyager'' in 2376, using the MIDAS array to create a micro-wormhole. Although the first communication was brief and problematic- merely allowing Admiral Paris to talk to Captain [[Kathryn Janeway]], who assured him that [[Tom Paris|his son]] was performing well- the communications technology improved to a level whereby contact could be made on a regular basis - every day for eleven minutes by [[interstellar phenomena forecast2377]].  Pathfinder Project was shelved with Voyager'sreturn to the Alpha Quadrant in 2378. ===Revival=== The Pathfinder Project was revitalised as an independent Task Force following the [[Attack on the Borg Megasphere]] to locate the [[Borg Contingency]]. Comprised solely of modern, [[Quantum Slipstream Drive|Slipstream]]-capable ships; the Task Force was nominally under the command of the senior CO, Captain [[Crawford, Tyra|Tyra Crawford]] though individual commanders were expected to act independently when required.

The voyage would take 20 days with ''Voyager'' in 2376current Slipstream Technology, using meaning that the [[MIDAS array]] Task Force would need to create a [[microbe self-wormhole]]. Although the first communication was brief sufficient and problematic- merely allowing Admiral Paris to talk to Captain [[Kathryn Janeway]], who assured him that [[Tom Paris|his son]] was performing well- the communications technology improved to a level whereby contact could look after itself; help would be made on a regular basis - every day for eleven minutes by [[2377]]long time coming...
