History

The Cochrane hit by a phaser blast

In 2374, the Cochrane was used by Tom Paris, Typhuss James Halliwell and Tuvok in an attempt to bring the reactivated former Borg drone Seven of Nine out of B'omar territory and back aboard the Voyager. Captain Janeway told them to stop her with any force necessary. After Tuvok was beamed aboard Seven of Nine's stolen type 8 shuttlecraft, she overwhelmed him in hand-to-hand combat. Seven then attacked the Cochrane and damaged its propulsion system leaving Paris and Typhuss behind. Paris piloted the ship to the moon of a B'omar planet to locate and rescue Tuvok and Seven, then quickly docked with Voyager as it fled B'omar forces. (VOY episode: "The Raven")

Later that year, the shuttlecraft registered as "04" and named Cochrane was used by Seven of Nine and Tuvok to board the Hirogen communications network relay station to retrieve all data sent from Starfleet Command. (VOY episode: "Hunters")

The Cochrane was named after Zefram Cochrane, the inventor of warp drive. (Star Trek Encyclopedia (4th ed., vol. 1, p. 149))
