The basic idea around this starship is a cruiser-sized version based on Defiant and Insurrection Mission Scout Ship design elements - Particularly the encased nacelle design which I think is under-rated by stout Trek fanatics. Personally, I think it makes a lot of practical sense.
I forgot what I had originally named it before it went into the Titan contest, which this particular drawing was done modified for, so I just dubbed it Trident for namesake.
Modellers interested in modelling this are welcomed to do so, though of course do credit me with the actual design.

That comes closest to a version of Voyager I had in mind for a Fic I'm trying to put together now.
*kugai, awesome display pic man, hehehe!
and ahh thanks ferrix! you just jogged my memory!
You are correct in observing the Dauntless and slipstream connection because it did play a large part in the inspiration that formed the ship design's backdrop.
Originally this design was running along a vein of thought about a next generation of Starfleet ships post Sovereign-era.
Where the ships registration was going to be along the lines of NVG-288979 or somesuch.
thanks again guys
