Starship Enterprise

Two spacecraft with the name Enterprise predate the United Federation of Planets in Star Trek's fictional timeline.

A painting of this ship hangs on the wall of Earth's 602 Club in flashbacks that appeared in the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "First Flight" (2003).

Non-canon sources give more details: The 1979 Star Trek Spaceflight Chronology describes this "first interstellar liner" as a Declaration-class ship launched in 2123.

Enterprise had significant engagements with the Klingons, Suliban, Xindi and the Romulans and played a central role in the "Temporal Cold War".

A significantly redesigned version of Captain Pike's Enterprise appears in Star Trek: Discovery's second season, set several years after the events of "The Cage".

[8] The new design for the Enterprise, which more closely matches the aesthetic of Discovery, debuted in 2018 at the conclusion of the season 1 finale,[8] and would go on to become the main setting of the series Strange New Worlds.

When the Enterprise was reintroduced in the 1979 film Star Trek: The Motion Picture, the ship had just completed an extensive refit and redesign that included new slimmer warp nacelles, connected to the secondary hull by angled winglike struts.

Registry: USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-A) Class: Constitution II Service: 2286–2293 (7 years) Captains: James T. Kirk This ship first appears at the conclusion of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986) and is the main setting in the subsequent Star Trek movies which use the original crew.

Registry: USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-B) Class: Excelsior-class[10] Service: 2293–2329 (36 years) Captains: John Harriman, Demora Sulu The Enterprise-B was launched at the beginning of the film Star Trek Generations (1994).

During the ship's maiden voyage, prior to it being properly fitted with essential systems, the crew encountered an energy ribbon known as the Nexus, through which James T. Kirk – captain of the two former Enterprise starships, NCC-1701 and NCC-1701-A – was officially declared missing and presumed dead.

[11] The design of the Enterprise-B is similar to that of the USS Excelsior, which first appeared in the 1984 film Star Trek III: The Search For Spock.

Two additional Enterprise ships appear in the third season of Star Trek: Picard, in which TNG's command crew are reunited.

[11] Survivors included Tasha Yar, whose alternate timeline version from "Yesterday's Enterprise" travels with the ship back in time to the battle over Narendra III.

[11] Registry: USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) Class: Galaxy Service: 2363–2371 and 2401–2402 (9 years) Captains: Jean-Luc Picard, William T. Riker, Edward Jellico The main setting of Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987–1994).

[11] During Star Trek Generations, Enterprise-D was lost in 2371 after an attack by the Duras sisters using a Bird-of-Prey, which caused extensive damage to the ship, which lead to a warp core breach.

In season 3 of Star Trek: Picard (2023), it was mentioned that the ship was disabled or destroyed whilst under the command of Worf.

Registry: USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-F) Class: Odyssey Service: 2386–2401 (15 years) Commanding officer: Fleet Admiral Elizabeth Shelby This ship appeared in season 3 of Star Trek: Picard (2023).

By 2402, the Titan-A was renamed and rechristened as the Enterprise-G, in honor of the crew of the USS Enterprise-D, for their contributions in battle against the Borg, with Seven of Nine taking over as captain.

Registry: USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) Class: Galaxy refit Service: circa 2395 Captain: Admiral William T. Riker In "All Good Things...", the final episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Enterprise-D was shown in an alternate future where it had not crashed during the events of Star Trek Generations, and instead had been made Admiral William T. Riker's personal flagship.

A montage in the opening credits of the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "In a Mirror, Darkly" shows the Terran Empire logo in use by at least World War II, with licensed novels putting the divergence before Shakespeare, or even classic Greek literature.

This ship is equipped with a cloaking device, deflector shields, a tractor beam, a prototype agony booth, and different exterior markings.

[citation needed] Jefferies, who was a pilot, based NCC on United States aircraft pre-1949 registration codes.

The major feature of the redesign was to replace the cigar-shaped secondary hull with a larger, triangle-shaped "delta wing" section.

McQuarrie's design was discarded in favor of keeping the general shape of the Enterprise intact for the redesign unveiled in Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

In 2375, the crew of USS Enterprise-E used the Cousteau to travel to the surface of the Ba'ku homeworld, in the film Star Trek: Insurrection.

The producers almost used the yacht in the episode "Samaritan Snare", but decided to use an "executive shuttlecraft" due to budgetary constraints.
