Separation Sequences

The Voyager Class has been equipped with 2 seperation sequences. The first, and standard, functions similarly to the separation sequence of the Galaxy Class.

The second, an emergency sequence, is used during imminent core breaches and as an emergency combat maneuver. The emergency sequence is extremely faster than the standard. The docking clamps release then rapidly retract. Following this, the saucer fires retro-thrusters which blast it away from the main hull at 4 times the velocity of the ship just before the thrusters fired. The entire sequence lasts about 3 seconds.

The emergency sequence can cause severe damage to, or the destruction of, the vessel if not performed while flying perfectly straight.
