U.S.S. Enterprise (ST-2)
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]

Liquid water covered 80% or more of the surface area, atmosphere consisted of nitrogen, oxygen, and trace elements. May have contained aquatic vegetation, animal life, and possibly humanoids.[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.

Quadrants
One quarter of the galaxy. The four quadrants were designated by the Greek letters Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta, and were arbitrarily divided using Earth as a reference point. As a result, Earth, and the sector it occupied, fell in the Alpha Quadrant, while the sector containing Vulcan and Andoria fell in the Beta Quadrant. The Gamma and Delta Quadrants remained largely unexplored through the 25th century, though knowledge of those regions was greatly increased thanks to the Bajoran wormhole and the U.S.S. Voyager NCC-74656, respectively.[1]
