"Extreme Risk" is the 97th episode of the science fiction television series Star Trek: Voyager, the third episode of the fifth season. It is set on the starship U.S.S. Voyager traveling back to Earth from the other side of the Galaxy.
In this episode, B'Elanna Torres struggles with bad news, while the senior staff race to build a new, special shuttle, the Delta Flyer, to recover a space probe from a gas giant. The custom-made craft features Borg technology. The construction and testing of the shuttle is a major plot element in this show, and became a recurring element in subsequent episodes.[1] The Delta Flyer was designed by Rich Sternbach, and exterior views were rendered by computer graphics by Foundation Imaging.[2]
The episode originally aired on UPN on October 28, 1998.[3]
