The hazard team was a specialized mission unit designed to handle extreme, physically dangerous situations both aboard Federation starships, and on specialized away missions. Originally serving aboard the USS Voyager under the command of Lieutenant Les Foster, the team was disbanded by a Starfleet functionary upon the ship's return to the Alpha Quadrant.
Most of Voyager's hazard team alums went their separate ways, reassigned to several different posts across Federation space. Original second-in-command officer Alexander Munro was assigned to teach small unit tactics at Starfleet Academy, while Ensign Chell was assigned to a research outpost. Ensign Telsia Murphy was assigned to another starship. However, a chance encounter Munro had at the Academy with Captain Jean-Luc Picard demonstrated the impressive tactics originated by the hazard team during a holodeck training simulation. Picard quickly concluded that he wanted the such a team aboard the Enterprise, and requested Munro's reassignment to the Federation flagship which was quickly granted.
Munro re-assembled the hazard team aboard the Enterprise, retaining as many of the core members as possible, while also recruiting several new officers. Following the hazard team's performance during the Idryll-Attrexian Crisis of 2380, Captain Picard is so impressed by the team's effectiveness that he recommends the unit to become a standard feature of deep space deployments throughout the fleet.
