Enterprise NX-01
The first of a new generation of Warp 5 starships designed for long-term space travel and scientific discovery, the NX class Starship Enterprise was launched in April 2151 under the command of Captain Jonathan Archer. The Enterprise was the culmination of more than three decades of research and development at the Warp Five Complex by Archer's father, Dr. Henry Archer, and other scientists inspired by warp pioneer Zefram Cochrane. The Enterprise's Warp 5 engine put humanity within reach of thousands of inhabited worlds, compared to the small handful at lower warp speeds, for the first time.[3]
Except for two alien crewmembers—Vulcan Subcommander T'Pol and the Denobulan Dr. Phlox—the 83-member crew was entirely Human (approximately two-thirds male, one-third female); the best and brightest, hand-picked by Starfleet.[3]
The Enterprise was decommissioned in 2161, after ten years of service under the command of Captain Archer, and placed in the Starfleet Museum, where it remained well into the late 24th century.[4]
