NCC-1701-D

Commissioned in 2363 the Galaxy Class Enterprise-D became the fifth ship to bear the name Enteprise, at the time of her launch she became the Federation Flagship a role she held until her destruction in 2371 in the orbit of Viridian III after being attacked by a rogue Klingon Bird of Prey.

Enterprise-D was built at Utopia Planitia Fleet Yars which Orbit Mars, a ship yard which would later launch the first Ark Royal Class Battle Cruiser.

• Captain Jean Luc Picard
• Captain Edward Jellico
• Captain Jean Luc Picard

NCC-1701-E

• Sovereign Class

The Enterprise-E was launched from San Francisco Shipyards on stardate 49827.5 in early 2372. The ship was the second Sovereign class starship to be built and launched in to service. The vessel was the most advanced starship (besides the USS Sovereign) in service to the Federation.

History

Second Borg Incursion

The vessel was originally commanded by Captain Jean Luc Picard and crewed by a number of crewmembers from the Enterprise-D. Enterprise-E participated in the defence of Earth from the second Borg incursion in to Federation space, and prevented the Borg from altering history by stopping first contact between Earth and Vulcan in 2063.

Dominion War

The flagship also participated in efforts to liberate the planet Betazed from Dominion occupation. The Enterprise-E didn’t play much of a major role in the Dominion War as Starfleet wanted the vessel to deal with internal matters in Federation territory. The ship hosted a diplomatic function for the Evora, a new species that had developed warp drive and became Federation Protectorates.

Ba’ku Insurrection

In 2375 Captain Picard took the vessel in to the Briar Patch to assist Admiral Matthew Dougherty and the Federation’s newest ally the Son’a in retrieving the ship’s android second officer, Lieutenant Commander Data. It was soon found out that in fact Dougherty and the Son’a were trying to remove the inhabitants from the Ba’ku planet which had a source metaphasic radiation that could rejuvenate organic material. The Enterprise-E fought the Son’a forces and made it public knowledge about the relocation program. The program was halted and the ship returned for repairs.

Romulan Nemesis

Four years later and the Dominion War was over and the Federation was rebuilding. The Enterprise was ordered to Romulus to meet with the new Praetor, Shinzon for peace talks. The talks were actually a ruse to get Picard to Romulus, where Shinzon was in fact Picard’s clone and was going to use him so he could live on and conquer the Federation using Thalaron radiation. With aid from the Romulan fleet, the Enterprise engaged Shinzon’s flagship, the Reman warbird Scimitar and defeated the threat to the Federation. Enterprise survived the incident however the ship was heavily damaged after it rammed the large warbird. The ship was dry-docked at San Francisco for repairs and refits.

Re-Exploration & Diplomacy

The ship was assigned to deep space assignments in the Beta Quadrant for three years and was recalled to Deep Space Nine for the peace talks the Dominion opened with the Federation and Klingon Empire in 2380. Command was transferred to the ship’s executive officer, Wesley Crusher in 2381 as Picard was promoted to Rear Admiral.

The Enterprise continued to serve Starfleet and the Federation well under the command of Captain Crusher. Crusher mediated a new peace treaty between the Federation and the Talarian Empire. The treaty opened a new era between the two powers allowing for trade routes to be set up, a mutual defence pact signed and a sharing of scientific resources. Fate fell to the proud vessel when it was heavily disabled on December 17th 2384 by an unusual sub-space anomaly near to the Bajoran Badlands. The ship was in the middle of a rescue effort to retrieve the crew of a stricken Talarian ship on its way to Deep Space Nine. The Enterprise had been successful in rescuing the Talarian crew but the ship had to be towed back to Earth.

The Enterprise was temporarily decommissioned as was no way that the ship could be repaired without using heavy amounts of resources from the San Francisco and Utopia Planitia shipyards. Admirals Picard and Janeway fought hard for the ship to be repaired but they were overruled. The ship was placed in to dock alpha one at Utopia Planitia shipyards to rest until a decision would be made with what to do with the Sovereign class vessel.

Without any knowledge the Starfleet Corps of Engineers had already start work on slowly repairing the ship. Captain Crusher had pulled in a few favours to have the ship repaired gradually shortly before he took his new assignment teaching at Starfleet Academy.

The Borg War

On 9th April 2385, shortly after the Borg dealt the Klingon Empire a crippling blow to their fleet Captain Worf, the Federation Ambassador to Qo'nos had returned to Earth to request the Federation Council to allow the Klingon Empire to become members of the UFP. The Klingons were quickly brought in to the Federation family. By this time repairs and refits to the Enterprise were nearing completion. Starfleet Tactical had been using the ship as test bed for some new systems to fight the Borg Collective. The ship was hurried out of dry-dock, command of the ship was transferred to Captain Worf with Admiral Picard returning to his old ship as mission advisor. The Enterprise would lead a relief force consisting of forty-two starships mostly from the Fourth Fleet’s Task Force 17 to Qo'nos, bringing medical supplies, food, 500 Olrem class orbital defence weapons platforms, and other resources the Klingons would soon need to defend their homeworld.

By the time the fleet arrived at Qo'nos it was revealed that the ship was part of the Sovereign Re-Development Project and that it had been upgraded with technology only used in the fourth fleet. Her impulse manifolds are enhanced allowing the ship to out fly anything at least half its size, and the warp core’s matter/antimatter reactor’s catalyst is powered by trelinium crystals. The ship was outfitted with forty Hellfire Torpedoes, four hundred Photon Torpedoes, three hundred Quantum Torpedoes, fifteen Tri-Cobalt warheads and six Transphasic Torpedoes. Two out of its twelve type twelve phaser arrays were upgraded to type fifteen phaser arrays. Additionally the ship was given a multi layered shielding system (MLSS), type two ablative armour generators. When the Federation fleet arrived at Qo'nos Chancellor Martok immediately had each ship including the Enterprise outfitted with the newest Klingon cloaking devices.

The Enterprise only saw action twice against the Borg during its defence for the Klingon Homeworld. The first time was when the Borg made their first attempt to destroy Qo'nos. The Borg had planned to take out Qo'nos knowing that if they did Federation forces would not be able to gain valuable resources from the Klingon Homeworld. The combined Federation and Klingon fleet in orbit of Qo'nos took out the first wave of Borg vessels. Only six allied vessels were lost during this engagement. When Fleet Admiral Janeway recalled Admiral Picard to Earth, the Enterprise rendezvoused with the USS Republic and transferred the Admiral back to Earth.

Contact was soon lost with the Enterprise in 2388 well as the Klingon homeworld when Fleet Admiral Bremer found out that the Borg had took the offensive against the Klingons for the last time. Fleet Admiral Bremer attempted to make it back to the Klingon Homeworld but was forced to retreat after his small task group was attacked.

Data records from the Enterprise indicated the new improvements to the starship helped the ship serve the Klingon people well. Whatever happened to the old flagship remains a mystery.

NCC-1701-F

• Enterprise Class

The USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-F) was the second starship to leave the Sol System after the Borg War in 2400 (ENT-F:"The Winds Of Change"). She is an Enterprise Class starship and currently serves as the flagship of the Federation.

The Enterprise-F was the first of her class and was the first Enterprise with the 1701 registry number to have a NX as part of her prefix. This has been changed to the more standard NCC prefix with the launch of USS Columbia in the year 2405. The vessel was the largest ship when she entered service and was built to assist with the defence and re-building phase for the Federation.

History

The vessel was launched from the San Francisco Shipyards on stardate 77502.811, 1st January 2400 under the command of Captain Eden Enigma The vessel participated in the initial re-exploration of the area around the Sol system with the other fledgling members of the 4th Fleet at the time. Notably the Enterprise re-established contact with Alpha Centauri during this period of time.

In 2402 the ship was dry-docked to receive important upgrades that were left out when it was built. At this time command of the ship passed from Eden Enigma to Captain Zack Marshall-Bennet following Enigma's re-assignment. Marshall-Bennet took the Enterprise with him to Deep Space One where he assumed overall command of the station and the Enterprise.

Captain Marshall-Bennet remained in command of the Enterprise until the last quarter of 2406, the events of the Renegades Civil War and the Second Battle for Sol left him with little wish to remain within Starfleet. The ship was returned to S2 in for another minor refit the ships new chief engineer commented that she had been kept in poor maintenance for several years, a state Commander Night wouldn't let her slip back in to.

Under the command of Captain Kurt Darkly, the Enterprise set out for Klingon space in January 2407. After nearly eight months out in open space, Starfleet Command received a distress call from the Enterprise notifying them of a severe systems malfunction which left their warp core and most main power systems inoperable without assistance. Sitting adrift in orbit of Nimbus III for three months, the USS Saratoga was finally able to carry the needed extra supplies and engineering teams to the Enterprise in January of 2408. The Saratoga was also tasked with ferrying the Enterprise's new captain, Captain Jerok and his command staff to relieve a majority of the Enterprise's current staff to be taken back to Starfleet Headquarters for debriefing.

Captain Jerok and his new crew were tasked with repairing the Enterprise and continuing her mission to re-explore the galaxy, and reestablish contact with lost civilizations.
