Voyager 6 was a 20th century Earth spacecraft, a Voyager series space probe in NASA service in the 1990s^[2] decade. (TOS movie: The Motion Picture)

Service history and disposition[]

Original mission[]

Voyager 6 was built by Humans. (TOS novel: Ex Machina)

The probe was launched by NASA in the 20th century. (TOS movie: The Motion Picture)

NASA was a government agency of the United States of America. (TNG episode: "The Royale")

After it was launched, Voyager 6 was swallowed by the Black Star and transported across both time and space to a distant corner of the universe. Badly damaged by the gravitational stresses, the probe drifted near a planet inhabited by living machines. (TOS movie: The Motion Picture)

V'Ger[]

These machines analyzed the probe's programming and enhanced its ability to collect information, creating V'Ger. Struggling to understand the probe's mission, they interpreted it as: "Learn all that is learnable. Return to the creator." (TOS movie: The Motion Picture)

The civilization rebuilding Voyager 6 into V'Ger was an ancient one and had ties to the Borg. (ST - Nero comic: "Number Three")

V'Ger itself was an emotionless, logical living machine. In the 23rd century, V'Ger was en route to Earth. Starfleet became aware of the approach in the year 2273. The starship USS Enterprise, undergoing a refit in the early 2270s, was hastily launched under command of James T. Kirk to stop the entity from digitizing Earth.

The Enterprise crew made contact with V'Ger through its Ilia probe. A landing parting was allowed to visit the central island inside V'Ger. Kirk, Willard Decker and Spock recognized Voyager 6 as a 20th century NASA probe. That enabled them to piece the V'Ger entity's history together. The entity's name derived from the name plate of Voyager 6, where some of the lettering was covered by soot. Decker merged with Ilia and V'Ger right beside Voyager 6 to fulfill the mandate of returning the probe to its creator. V'Ger evolved and departed the local plane of existence for parts unknown. (TOS movie: The Motion Picture)

In 2411, V'Ger formed a family with its mirror universe counterpart, the Other. As the primary universe entity's name was based on what was legible of the probe's plate, the Other called itself C'qer after the Conqueror VI probe it carried. (STO - Terran Gambit mission: "The Fujiwhara Effect")

Alternate timelines[]

Mirror universe[]

In the mirror universe, TASA launched Conqueror VI, which became the core of the Other. (STO - Terran Gambit mission: "The Calling")

The Other joined up with its primary universe counterpart V'Ger in 2411. (STO - Terran Gambit mission: "The Fujiwhara Effect")

Kelvin timeline[]

In the Kelvin timeline, Captain Nero of the time-displaced 24th century Romulan mining ship Narada led an away team aboard the central island inside V'Ger after the two entities met on the edge of the Delta Quadrant in 2258. Nero and his executive officer Ayel led their team to Voyager 6 and recognized it as the Earth probe that Spock had encountered in their native timeline. While Nero was in touch with Voyager 6, V'Ger attempted to merge with him in lieu of the creator but was unable to assimilate his hate. Nero and his team left Voyager 6 behind, returned to the Narada and departed from V'Ger. (ST - Nero comic: "Number Three")
