After the USS Voyager returned to the alpha quadrant, celebrations were met with education. They returned with more knowledge in "an away mission," then any other starship has ever brought back in the history of the Federation. With that knowledge, was the idea of the Quantum Slipstream Drive, also referred to as QSD. The QSD is a new propulsion idea, which involves focusing a quantum field through a deflector dish to create alterations in space curvature; creating a tunnel. This tunnel is projected at the front of the vessel that, once inside, forces the ship to propel at incredible speed. Voyager failed to master this new traveling device, as the calculations in maintaing the quantum field with its deflector dish were too complicated at the time. However, Starfleet has studied the new device intensely, and has provided successful calculations for all QSD flights. The USS Gallico will be the first starship equipped with this QSD, and with its success, Starfleet will open an entire realm of possibilities. The USS Gallico will be aimed toward the Delta Quadrant, to develop more sense and understanding of that side of the galaxy then Voyager could. Its main mission will be what the federation was once created for; To explore strange new worlds, and to go where no man has gone before.
