In early [[2376]], first contact between [[Star Fleet Command]] and the ''Voyager'' was finally established over the [[MIDAS array]] using an artificial [[micro-wormhole]]. Although the periods of data transfer were very limited, not only was Star Fleet able to transmit tactical updates to the ''Voyager'' crew, but private conversations between ''Voyager'' crew members and their relatives in the Alpha Quadrant were also possible.
In [[2377]], ''Voyager'' recovered pieces of the [[UESPA]] long-range probe ''[[Friendship 1]]''. Later that year, ''Voyager'' was able to return to [[Earth]] with the assistance of an [[alternate timeline]] version of Captain Janeway. This [[Admiral]] Janeway, who time-traveled from the early [[25th century]], provided her younger counterpart with sophisticated anti-[[Borg]] technology, which included [[transphasic torpedo]]es and [[ablative armor hull generator]] technology. When ''Voyager'' reached the hub guided by Admiral Janeway, she ordered the crew to enter, but Captain Janeway was reluctant to waste the opportunity to severely cripple the Borg's infrastructure. After figuring out encountered a way to destroy the hub, ''Voyager'' proceeded into one of the [[transwarp aperture]]s while the Admiral infiltrated the [[Borg Queen]]'s hive, where she was assimilated. However, Admiral Janeway had previously injected herself with a [[neurolytic pathogen]]. The assimilation introduced the pathogen into the [[Borg Collective|Collective]] via the Borg Queen. This weakened the shielding for the interspatial manifolds located in subspace and ''Voyager'' destroyed one hub with three transphasic torpedoes, resulting in a cascading shock wave reaction. While trying to outrun the shock wave, a [[Borg sphere]] pursued ''Voyager'' Transwarp Hub and attempted to capture use it. Upon exiting the transwarp conduit in the Alpha Quadrant, ''Voyager'' (now captured) launched a single transphasic torpedo, destroying the sphere. The conduit, the entire Borg transwarp network, and [[Unimatrix 01]] were all destroyed. A fleet of starships, assembled in response to [[sensor]] readings indicating a Borg energy signature, greeted ''Voyager'' as she exited the conduit, and escorted her return home. [[Image:Uss voyager earth.jpg|thumb|''Voyager'' is escorted home]] In total, ''Voyager'' spent seven years in the Delta Quadrant before returning to Federation space. The original estimate of the time needed for the return trip had been 75 years, but intervention by numerous alien races, spatial anomaliesattempt failed, and the acquisition of new technologies considerably shortened the starship's stay in the Delta Quadrant. During the course of her time spent Voyager was declared lost again in the Delta Quadrant ''Voyager'' made first contact with over 400 species, repeatedly engaged the Borg and numerous other hostile species, suffered the loss of several crew members, and greatly expanded the Federation's knowledge of the [[Milky Way Galaxy|galaxy]]2378.
