Prime Timeline
(The root of all realities)

Perhaps the most famous spacecraft in the history of space exploration, the Federation Starship Enterprise, a Constitution class cruiser,^[1] was launched in 2245^[2] from the San Francisco Fleet Yards^[3] orbiting Earth. The Enterprise was first commanded by Captain Robert April,^[4] who was later succeeded by his first officer^[5] Christopher Pike.^[6] During Pike's command, the Enterprise had a crew complement of 203, though it was unclear if this figure included Pike himself.^[3] By Stardate 1313.1, nearly 100 crewmembers aboard the Enterprise were women.^[7] According to Ensign Tyler, the ship's power was "enough to blast half a continent."^[3] Superbly equipped for research in deep space, the Enterprise had 14 science labs.^[8] The ship achieved legendary status during the first five-year mission under its third captain, James T. Kirk, from 2265 through 2270.^[9]

Klingon War

U.S.S. Enterprise (DSC 28)

During the Klingon-Federation War from 2256 through 2257, the Enterprise was ordered to remain in deep space, away from the conflict. By the time the war was over and the Enterprise returned to Federation space in 2258, the ship was badly damaged and required months of extensive repairs. While the repairs were underway, Captain Pike took temporary command of the U.S.S. Discovery NCC-1031, and the repairs were overseen by his first officer, Lieutenant Commander Una Chin-Riley.^[6]^[10]

Refits

U.S.S. Enterprise (ST02)

The Enterprise was refit several times during its lifetime, most notably from 2270 to 2273, when the ship was virtually rebuilt from the inside out.^[11] Though commanded by Captain Will Decker during the refit, Kirk—who had been promoted to admiral in 2270—took temporary command of the vessel during the V'ger incident of 2273; Decker was lost during the mission,^[11] and Kirk took command of the Enterprise for another five-year mission. Following that five-year mission, Kirk retired^[12] in 2278, and the ship became a training vessel at Starfleet Academy under Captain Spock.^[13] In 2285, Kirk had returned to duty^[12] as commandant of the academy, and again took temporary command of the Enterprise while overseeing a cadet cruise when the ship encountered Khan Noonien Singh in the Mutara Sector. Spock was killed saving the ship,^[13] but the Enterprise was later destroyed by Admiral Kirk just prior to its anticipated decommissioning, in order to prevent it from falling into Klingon hands during a mission to recover Captain Spock's body.^[14]
