abstract | - Project Full Circle was an initiative sponsored by Starfleet upon the successful return of the USS Voyager from the Delta Quadrant. Created in the early part of 2378, the Project was under the supervision of Admiral Kenneth Montgomery and was charged with the examination as well as the removal of all Borg and future technology that was used to modify the USS Voyager during its seven year long journey to return to the Alpha Quadrant. Doctor Jarem Kaz and Captain Afsarah Eden were also assigned to the Project. (VOY novel: The Farther Shore, VOY novel: Full Circle) Project Full Circle became a mission in itself to explore the Delta Quadrant further. However, Kathryn Janeway, seeking to protect her former crew, always turned down the mission because Voyager was always assigned. However, following her death, the Borg Invasion of 2381, and contact with the Caeliar, Starfleet finally approved the expedition. Setting out in 2381, the fleet was briefed with restoring contact with species Voyager encountered and exploring what remained of Borg space. Multiple ships were assigned to the expedition, including Voyager, which would function as the fleet flagship. The following are the ships assigned to the exploratory fleet all equipped with quantum slipstream drive:
* USS Voyager - flagship
* USS Esquiline - Vesta class
* USS Quirinal - Vesta class
* USS Hawking
* USS Curie
* USS Planck
* USS Galen - the prototype/experimental Emergency Medical Vessel fitted with a large holographic crew.
* USS Achilles - holding spare parts and industrial replicators for the fleet.
* USS Demeter - a vessel equipped with airoponic bays and storage facilities for biological resources. Unknown to anyone in the fleet, Full Circle will rendezvous with Miral Paris and B'Elanna Torres who faked their own deaths to escape a rogue Klingon sect hunting Miral.
