Perhaps the most famous spacecraft in the history of space exploration, the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 was a Constitution class vessel.[3] Launched in 2245[13] from the San Francisco Fleet Yards orbiting Earth,[1] the Enterprise was first commanded by Captain Robert April,[4] who was later succeeded by his first officer, Christopher Pike, in 2250.[9] During Pike’s command, the Enterprise had a crew complement of 203, though it was unclear if this figure included Pike himself.[1] According to Ensign Tyler, the ship’s power was “enough to blast half a continent.”[1] Superbly equipped for research in deep space, the Enterprise had 14 science labs.[2] The ship achieved legendary status during the first five-year mission under its third captain, James T. Kirk, from 2265 to 2270.[5]

The Constitution class cruisers are among the most renowned vessels of their time. Serving as both a research vessel and a cruiser, these ships performed their duties to perfection for the majority of the 23rd century. The Constitution class ships were an integral part of the buildup during “The Great Awakening,” from the outset the most versatile of all ships built for the expansion efforts. class starships included the acclaimed U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701.[1] During the time of Captain James T. Kirk’s celebrated first five-year mission of exploration, only twelve of these ships were in existence.[2] Constitution class starships used duotronic computers, based on designs developed by Dr. Richard Daystrom in 2243.[8]

Sol System (TOS-37)
Star system located in Sector 001, in the Alpha Quadrant. The parent star, Sol, was Type-G and was orbited by eight planets (though Pluto frequently switched between being considered a planet and a planetoid),[2] including Earth, and was commonly known as the Sun. The Talosians viewed an image of the Sol System and many images of Earth’s history while accessing the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701‘s computer in 2254.[1]

Rura Penthe surface (ENT-45)
Rura Penthe prison (ST-06)
Frozen planetoid used by the Klingons as a high-security prison camp.[1] Rura Penthe was located in the Mempa Sector of the Beta Quadrant, approximately 11.5 light years from Qo’noS.[3] The prison was located underground as the surface weather was inhospitable and unable to support humanoid life. The conditions on Rura Penthe meant that being incarcerated there was as good as a death sentence, as many prisoners were forced to work under terrible conditions in the dilithium mines.[1] Captain Jonathan Archer was imprisoned a short time at Rura Penthe before being rescued by his crew in 2153.[2] Captain James T. Kirk and Dr. Leonard McCoy also served time on Rura Penthe, after being falsely accused of assassinating Chancellor Gorkon in 2291.[1]
ST11 Timeline
After traveling through time from 2387, the Romulan renegade Nero and his crew were captured in 2233 by the I.K.S. Klothos, under the command of Captain Kor and imprisoned at Rura Penthe,[5] where they remained in captivity until their escape in 2258.[4, 6]

P’Jem
P’Jem Surface (ENT-07)
Ancient, sacred Vulcan monastery. The 3,000-year-old monastery served as a sanctuary for meditation and the ritual purging of emotion known as the kolinahr. Andorian commandos took control of the temple in 2151, searching for a hidden sensor array. Captain Archer and the Enterprise NX-01 crew were taken hostage during the incident. The monks insisted that there was no sensor array, but one was eventually discovered deep in the monastery’s catacombs—a direct violation of the Vulcans’ treaty with the Andorians.[1] After the Enterprise left the region, the Andorians gave the monks three hours to evacuate, then destroyed the temple.[2] P’Jem was located in orbit of Luyten’s Star, approximately 12.4 light years from Earth, 3 light years from Vulcan, and 1 light year from Andoria.[3]

Empok Nor
Nor-type station (DS9-401-402)
Cardassian space station nearly identical to one formerly known as Terok Nor, located in the Trivas System. The Cardassian military abandoned it in 2372. The next year, a salvage team from Deep Space Nine went on a mission to the derelict station in order to obtain needed parts. Unbeknownst to the team, three soldiers from the Cardassian First Battalion had been left behind in stasis, under the influence of a drug that made them extremely aggressive and paranoid.[1]

Class-M. Earth is the third planet in the Sol System[1] in Sector 001[7] and homeworld of Humans. In 2254, the Talosians viewed an image of the Sol System and many images of Earth’s history while accessing the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701‘s computer.[1] Earth became one of the founding members of the United Federation of Planets in 2161,[15] following the Romulan War,[6] and served as that body’s capital.[5] Starfleet Command and Starfleet Academy were based in San Francisco,[2, 3] while the offices of the Federation President[9] and the Federation Council chamber were located in Paris.[22] The planet hosted several advanced orbital habitats,[2] Starfleet spacedocks,[4] and satellite networks, including Federation communications networks.[12]

Deep Space Nine
Deep Space Nine (DS9-401-402)
Formerly a Cardassian mining facility orbiting Bajor called Terok Nor, the station was redesignated Deep Space Nine when it came under Federation control following the end of the Cardassian Occupation of Bajor in 2369. At the behest of the Bajoran Provisional Government, Starfleet administered the facility. Shortly after the arrival of the station’s new Starfleet crew, however, a stable, artificial wormhole was discovered in the Bajor System‘s Denorios Belt. The station was moved to a new position near the terminus of the wormhole, and it quickly became a focal point for political and military intrigue, as well as one of the most strategic locations in the quadrant.[1]

Planet, Class-M
Earth (ENT-78)
Vulcan (TOS-34)
Terrestrial. Age ranged from 3-10 billion years. Diameter was 10,000 to 15,000 km. Typically located in the Ecosphere of a planetary system. Surface water was abundant; if water or ice covered more than 80% of the surface, the planet was considered Class O or Class P. Atmosphere was primarily primarily nitrogen, oxygen, and trace elements. Contained extensive vegitation and animal life.[8] Capable of supporting carbon-based, humanoid life.[1]
The designation apparently stemmed from the Vulcan word “Minshara,” which was used to designate planets capable of supporting life.[7] Class-M planets could vary widely in color, cloud cover, and overall appearance. Most Class-M planets were characterized by a relatively thin, tectonically active crust floating on a molten rock mantle, which in turn surrounded a liquid metal outer core and a solid inner core composed of metal crystals.
