FASA Timeline
(FASA Roleplaying Game)

Perhaps the most famous spacecraft in the history of space exploration, the Federation Starship Enterprise, a Constitution class cruiser,^[1] was launched on Reference Stardate 1/8802 (February 2188)^[2] from the San Francisco Fleet Yards^[3] orbiting Earth. Construction on the Enterprise was authorized by the Star Fleet Appropriation of Stardate 0965.^[4] The Enterprise was first commanded by Captain Robert April,^[5] who was later succeeded by Christopher Pike on Reference Stardate 1/9501 (January 2195).^[6] During Pike's command, the Enterprise had a crew complement of 203, though it was unclear if this figure included Pike himself.^[3] 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.^[7] The ship achieved legendary status during the first five-year mission under its third captain, James T. Kirk, from 2207 through 2212.^[8]

U.S.S. Enterprise (TOS 11)

The Enterprise was refit several times during its lifetime, most notably from 2212 to 2217, when the ship was virtually rebuilt from the inside out.^[9] On Stardate 7523.2 (April 7, 2212) the Enterprise returned to Earth orbit following her last, historic five-year mission. Although the decision had been made three months earlier to decommission and scrap the Enterprise, the ship had come to be seen as a symbol of Star Fleet and the Federation. This public opinion drove a motion in the Federation Council that led to the reversal of Star Fleet's plans. The Enterprise, however, was still twenty-five years old; her systems were becoming outdated, and it soon became obvious that only a major refit could keep the ship at the forefront of the fleet, and what began as a simple refit evolved into a redesign of the entire vessel.^[10]

U.S.S. Enterprise (ST02)

Though commanded by Captain Will Decker during the refit, Kirk—who had been promoted to admiral in 2212—took temporary command of the vessel during the V'ger incident of 2217; Decker was lost during the mission,^[9] and Kirk took command of the Enterprise for another five-year mission.^[8] Eventually, the ship became a training vessel at Star Fleet Academy under Captain Spock.^[11] In 2222, Kirk was 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 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.^[12]
