On Stardate 48315.6 the [[ma:USS Voyager|USS Voyager]] was transported beyond their control, 70,000 lightyears across the galaxy to the Delta Quadrant. There, without any aid from Starfleet, they began their 70-year journey home. In their numerous encounters they came into contact with many dangerous and violent species. Having a limited crew with no chance of reinforcements, they determined that they needed a specialized team to handle the more dangerous situations. [[ma:Tuvok|Tuvok]], Voyager's Chief of Security, assembled an elite force of security personnel which he named the "Hazard Team". | |||

Voyager's return to Federation space in 2377, and the reports of the Hazard Team's exploits, coincided with an independent Starfleet program being discussed to perform just such tasks. The Borg invasion of 2367 highlighted the need for these highly trained forces, when the prospect of retaking a captured planet became very real. Since then, Starfleet began developing their concept of the Rapid Response team. In the rare times when Starfleet must respond with controlled, overt force - retaking a starbase captured by Cardassian soldiers or rescuing prisoners from Breen pirates, for example - it would call upon the special services of its Rapid Response forces. The effectiveness of Voyager's Hazard Team helped to push the idea from concept to reality. | Voyager's return to Federation space in 2377, and the reports of the Hazard Team's exploits, coincided with an independent Starfleet program being discussed to perform just such tasks.
