Daedalus class (Legacy)

The Daedalus class Starship Essex, commanded by Captain Bryce Shumar[1], fought in the Romulan War from 2155 through 2161.[2] In 2167, the Essex, now a Federation starship under the sector command of Admiral Uttan Narsu of Starbase 12, was reported lost. The Essex was caught in an electromagnetic storm in the atmosphere of a Class-M moon of planet Mab-Bu IV. The storm had been caused by noncorporeal criminal life forms from the Ux-Mal system who had hoped to escape aboard the Essex. The ship was destroyed and all 229 crew members killed. In 2368, the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D encountered beings who claimed to be members of the Essex crew, marooned and rendered noncorporeal since 2167. These beings were, in fact, the Ux-Mal criminals, who sought to escape by commandeering the Enterprise.[1]

The Sovereign class Starship Enterprise was one of the most advanced ships in Starfleet. It was constructed at the San Francisco Fleet Yards and commissioned on Stardate 49827.5, under the command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard. It was 685 meters long, making it the longest vessel ever to bear the famous name. The Enterprise had substantially the same bridge crew as its immediate predecessor,[2] although Commander Worf had accepted a transfer to Deep Space 9.[1]

A Galaxy-class extended-duration starship and the flagship of Starfleet, the Enterprise was commanded by Captain Jean-Luc Picard.[1] With a total of 42 decks, the Enterprise was twice the length and had eight times the interior space of the Constitution-class ships of the previous century, and carried a combined crew and passenger load of more than one thousand.[5]

The Excelsior-class U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-B was launched from Earth orbit in late October 2292, with Captain John Harriman commanding.[3] There was some opposition to the new Enterprise being an Excelsior class ship. If Starfleet wanted to retain the Enterprise name, they argued, it should go to one of the new Constellation class cruisers, with their distinctive quadruple nacelle design. In the end, the Excelsior class kept the Enterprise name because this class was becoming the new workhorse of Starfleet, much like the Constitution class of a few decades earlier, and Starfleet believed that the Enterprise name should be given to a ship class that would have high visibility.[1]

The second Federation starship to bear the name, the Enterprise-A was a Constitution-class vessel, launched in 2286 and placed under the command of the recently-demoted Captain James T. Kirk by the Federation Council and Starfleet Command in appreciation for his role in saving Earth from the destructive effects of an alien space probe.[1] The new Enterprise was, in fact, a contemporary of her predecessor; the ship was recommissioned the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-A by a special act of the Federation Council.[4]

Mirror Universe starship serving the brutal Terran Empire. A landing party from the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 was accidentally transported to the I.S.S. Enterprise during a severe ion storm in 2267. The mirror universe Enterprise‘s crew were savage and, in many ways, opposite to the U.S.S. Enterprise crew; their mission was to conquer and control worlds for the empire. Subtle but disturbing differences existed on the I.S.S. Enterprise, including the Imperial Earth-and-dagger emblem painted on doors and henchmen guarding the corridors.[1]

The I.S.S. Enterprise NX-01 was commanded by Captain Maximillian Forrest. The Enterprise was destroyed in January 2155 when it was imploded by a Tholian web while on a mission to recover the U.S.S. Defiant NCC-1764, which had been transported through space and time from more than a century in the future of the Prime universe.[1] The surviving crew members were rescued by the Enterprise boarding party on the Defiant, which had managed to commandeer the vessel and affect an escape from Tholian space.[2]

Early Earth orbital test vehicle, the prototype for the planet’s first reusable spacecraft, the Space Shuttle Enterprise was named in honor of several historic naval vessels, and was designated OV-101.[5] An image of this ship, the first spacecraft to bear the name Enterprise, was displayed in Captain Archer‘s ready room aboard the Enterprise NX-01,[4] on the rec deck of the refitted U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701,[1] and in the observation lounges of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D[2] and the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-E.[3] The ship remained in the Smithsonian Institution until 2271, when it was refitted with a modern drive system and made spaceworthy to celebrate the anniversary of the Apollo 11 Lunar landing.[5]

Part of the United States Navy in the late 20th and early 21st centuries on Earth, the Enterprise was a nuclear-powered Nimitz class aircraft carrier from which Starfleet officers Chekov and Uhura “borrowed” high-energy photons in order to recrystallize the failing dilithium crystals in their ship in order to return to their proper time period. During the covert operation while the Enterprise was docked at a Naval Base in Alameda, Chekov was captured by Naval personnel, but eventually escaped.[1]
