No, I've got nothing to say. I'm just sick of seeing "What type of ship is Voyager" listed at the top of the Voyager forum every time I log on. Mods, feel free to lock this one down.
Gods, now my name is going to show up as the responsible party for the last post here for another few weeks straight...

It's a stardrive vessel (class VII), Naval Commercial Earth Ship Voyager, 746th Federation design, 56th vessel. Most of its crew are part of the Space Service, and are now serving the United Earth Space Probe Agency. The ship is capable of time-warp factor 19, and is equipped with sensors, sensor scanners and deflector screens.
The time is only three hundred years into the future, and screen technology hasn't advanced beyond cathode-ray tubes. The ship has been transported to the Andromeda Galaxy and is finding its way back at Warp Factor Two, along with a crew of 500, officers, enlisted personnel and pure technicians. During battles, people die in phaser rooms and rarely crawl through conduits. There are 50-year old technicians with thick-frame glasses working the transporters.

don't forget the scanner deflectors, which are a very important feature. without them, people would often crawl through conduits instead of rarely. and you also forgot the ships science officer silicone cat suit brain from ceti alpha 9.

Don't forget Tribbles. They provide the crew with large amounts of entertainment and nourishment. They'd race Tribbles, and eat the losers, until there are only super Tribbles left onboard.
Oh Mark, see you at Anime North?

So if Mark is the Coolest Guy EVER, how come we haven't heard anything of Sector Gamma yet? Huh? Huh?
And Voyager is a light cruiser. She used to be a decaf cruiser before "The Cloud", though, which may confuse some people. But for most of the show, she was just sugar-free. (Cheese-free is a different matter altogether.)
