| - In 2376, the Delta Flyer was damaged by an encounter with a dark matter lifeform while exploring a class T cluster. Captain Kathryn Janeway took the Flyer to the radiogenic rings of a T-class gas giant to restart the warp core, but the Flyer was threatened by more lifeforms. Thus, Janeway ordered Crewmen Tal Celes, Mortimer Harren, and William Telfer to abandon the Flyer in escape pods while she provided a distraction. Only Harren took an escape pod, while Celes and Telfer remained with Janeway. Harren attempted to divert the lifeforms himself by plotting a course towards them, but Janeway refused to allow him to sacrifice his life and transported the pod back aboard. The Flyer ultimately escaped the lifeforms by igniting the radiogenic particles. (VOY: "Good Shepherd") Later that year, B'Elanna Torres and Harry Kim were on a mission in the Delta Flyer searching for dilithium. Encountering turbulence, Torres ordered Kim into the escape pod and both soon crash landed on a class L planet. Kim was able to salvage a few emergency rations, a phaser, and the escape pod's transmitter before he left in search of Torres and the Flyer. (VOY: "Muse")
