U.S.S. Enterprise[1]
U.S.S. Enterprise[2]

Perhaps the most famous spacecraft in the history of space exploration, the Constitution class[3] Starship Enterprise was launched in 2245[4] from the San Francisco Fleet Yards[5] orbiting Earth. The Enterprise was first commanded by Captain Robert April,[6] who was later succeeded by his first officer, Christopher Pike,[7] in 2253.[8] During Pike's command, the Enterprise had a crew complement of 203, though it was unclear if this figure included Pike himself.[5] According to Ensign Tyler, the ship's power was "enough to blast half a continent."[5] Superbly equipped for research in deep space, the Enterprise had 14 science labs.[9] The ship achieved legendary status during the first five-year mission under its third captain, James T. Kirk, from 2265 to 2270.[10]

U.S.S. Enterprise, refit[11]

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.[12] 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 2272; Decker was lost during the mission,[12] and Kirk took command of the Enterprise for another five-year mission.[13][14] Eventually, Kirk retired[15] and the ship became a training vessel at Starfleet Academy under Captain Spock[11] in 2284.[16] In 2285, Kirk had returned to duty as commandant of the academy, and 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,[11] but the Enterprise was destroyed some time later by Admiral Kirk just prior to its anticipated decommissioning, in order to prevent the it from falling into Klingon hands during a mission to recover the body of Captain Spock.[17]
