History

When the USS Discovery arrived at Federation Headquarters in 3189, Voyager was one of the nearby starships maintaining the station's protection field. (DIS: "Die Trying")

Later, a status display concerning Voyager was up in Fleet Admiral Charles Vance's office. (DIS: "Scavengers")

When Osyraa commandeered Discovery to enter the Federation Headquarters' protective shield and began attacking, Admiral Vance instructed Voyager to take the lead on attacking the Viridian while the rest of the fleet targeted Discovery. Voyager was then part of the Federation-Ni'Var fleet that pursued Discovery and the Viridian, and acknowledged instructions from Discovery to back to a safe distance when Discovery planned to detonate their warp core. (DIS: "That Hope Is You, Part 2")

The Voyager-J docked at Archer Spacedock

Sometime later, Federation President Laira Rillak unveiled Archer Spacedock where Voyager was docked. Rillak later informed Captain Michael Burnham that the prototype pathway drive would be installed on Voyager and that she was evaluating her short list for someone who would command the Voyager which included Burnham herself. However, Rillak told Burnham that she wasn't ready for such a responsibility, but Burnham stated that she wouldn't have accepted it anyways. (DIS: "Kobayashi Maru")

Given the urgency of analyzing the galactic barrier particles present within the DMA before the Multilateral DMA Strategy Assembly, Paul Stamets considered asking Fleet Admiral Vance to requisition Voyager's computational help. (DIS: "...But to Connect")

Following the successful mission to make first contact with Species 10-C, Rillak recalled her conversation with Burnham about how she wasn't ready to captain Voyager, but she now was. Although grateful, Burnham said that given the choice, she still wouldn't take it which Rillak acknowledged with a laugh. (DIS: "Coming Home")

Sometime after the Dark Matter Anomaly crisis, Lieutenant Commander Nilsson left the Discovery for a posting aboard the Voyager. She left her pet tribble to Lt. Christopher. (DIS: "Jinaal")

In 3191, the Federation decided to cancel research on the spore drive in favor of the new pathway drive that Voyager had been equipped with. While Voyager was the first ship to receive the new drive, the Federation eventually started to equip it on other vessels such as the USS Mitchell. (DIS: "Red Directive", "Lagrange Point")
