==Background==It is probable that the project Pathfinder Project was terminated after the successful return of ''abandoned in 2379 when contact with Voyager'' to had been lost for over a year and the [[Alpha Quadrant]], or perhaps it was extended to serve as a method to communicate with other ships at far ranging distancescrew were officially deemed Missing in Action.
In the non===Revival -[[canon]] [[DS9]] [[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine 2420- Mission Gamma|Mission Gamma]] novel "[[Lesser Evil]]", the crew of the {{USS|Defiant|NCC-75633}} consult the Pathfinder Project's database for ''Voyager's'' information on the [[Borg]] after discovering a Borg presence in the [[Gamma Quadrant]].[[de:Pfadfinder-Projekt]]Present===

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]].
===Origins - 2370s===
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 forecast]]s.
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 [[2377]].
