The Starship Enterprise
His mission to seek out new life
Survey Uncharted Worlds
And defend Federation territories
From its beginning as a common science vessel to becoming the flagship of Starfleet
This is the evolution of the USS Enterprise
The enterprise NX-01 was the first earth starship with a human built propulsion system
It was a new generation of starship meant for long-term space travel and exploration
NX-01 is basing an experiment
Christened "The Enterprise" that actually it's the very first ship to be called "Enterprise"
its whole purpose was to explore the unknown, go places where
humans have never gone before
As time went on, the design of the ship was going to relate itself to the way
It's been discovered in space how space travel works
Lightspeed works all that type of new kind of technologies that were discovered
In
22:45 the NCC
1701 was launched from the San Francisco fleet yards this
this Constitution class enterprise was in service for 25 years including five highly successful
Years under the command of Captain James Kirk
Following a quarter century of service to Starfleet
The enterprise was called into drydock to be given a complete upgrade of all its major systems
The retrofit was to upgrade the ship to handle the the new stress as the new loads the new speeds
The old cylindrical missiles on the ship were replaced as were the nacelle struts this allowed for a newer
aerodynamic design
The ship was also equipped with dual extra vehicular activity bays
This allowed maintenance and cargo ships easier access to the enterprise
After many months in dry dock for refit, the enterprise was put back in service
It was now one of the most recognized and respected ships in the Federation
The enterprise pretty much has
Become the ship being so it's always the challenge of alien forces to take it down would be the gold mark for any race
To take that ship down claim victory
The enterprise under attack from the reliant Khan's crew the shields weren't up
They were not ready for an attack. And so when the surprise attack took place
They were hitting all their vital areas pretty much making them helpless
After the enterprise encountered the reliant and
Sustained its heavy damage its first point of origin was to go to the space talk and get repairs in that time
Captain Kirk has to commandeer the ship
To steal it to get Spock back to his homeworld the ship had not been fixed. It hadn't been repaired. It left home
Never to come back when it encountered the Klingons
They pretty much had a field day on the ship. They had the cloaking device
All kinds of technologies that that ship in that particular state was not ready to handle
Following a costly encounter with a Klingon bird-of-prey the NCC 1701 was given its self destruct command
This resulted in the complete destruction of the enterprise
Following the loss of the refitted Enterprise
Starfleet commissioned an old Constitution class ship and in honor of previous service to the Federation renamed it
USS enterprise
service number
NCC
1701- A
It was the end of the era for that Constitution style class of ship
After the attack on the enterprise by Conn a whole design team kind of went to work to figure out what would happen
had that attack on further. Obviously the neck would have been blown apart. It was a very weak design element in that particular ship
when it came time to
recommission an enterprise B
The Excelsior was the obvious choice because it's the strongest of the of the Federation ships
Design changes led to the excelsior class vessels to have a more durable neck
The nichelle's had been set to a lower profile and the struts were closer to the body
It was given a more compact design to keep the limbs of the ship from being a focus of an enemy during an attack
the Enterprise B's maiden voyage it was a christening ceremony. Admiral Kirk was there to kind of give it the send-off and
as
Things go space emergency takes place. It gets encountered kind of an energy ribbon, which they are
not sure what it is being the Captain Kirk was on board the veteran of all kinds of
situations like this decided that he could alter the ship's deflector array to basically
put a hole in the renergie ribbon long enough to pull the
survivors of the ship out in doing so the tendrils of the energy ribbon, which is just a
static ball of energy and
Electricity actually strikes part of the ship destroying the entire section where Captain Kirk was working
Thus given him his basically his last flight on the enterprise
Prior to its decommission the enterprise be successfully chartered over a hundred and forty new star systems and made first contact
with seventeen new
civilizations
The enterprise-c
encountering, uh
Attacked by the Raman forces pretty much met its demise in a in a heavy battle
they fought
As long as it could as boldly as it could but there was no match for what the Romans had to throw at it
making surf Li barrier that the Romulan threat was a lot stronger than they had imagined and technology would
Take us into new frontiers from this point on
The galaxy-class starship was the new design which would carry the name enterprise now the
Flagship of the Federation its size was unmatched in Starfleet
the purpose of this ship was more
taking out of the battleship mode and putting it more into a family in space what they wanted to
Have is communities
The ship was designed to stay in space much longer than previous enterprise designs the immense size of the enterprise-d allowed
approximately
1,000 16 officers enlisted crewmen and civilians on board
The galaxy-class Enterprise had the most advanced warp core in the fleet at the time
It could sustain a warp speed of nine point six for 12 consecutive hours
As the science of warp speed kind of
advances in the Star Trek universe
the
ships also
Change as they go along you look at the ships on a profile point of view from the original to the D
The original enterprise you see the nacelles are higher than the saucer and as the ship's progressed in design
they actually go lower to the point where they're
Parallel with the saucer to the point with the D where they're below the saucer purposes. This is all with the new aesthetic design of
longer space travel and the way
aerodynamic warp factors go into play
The enterprise-d had a new face or design
It had multiple strips positioned on its Hall which allowed the phasers to move independently toward different targets
It also had two photon torpedo bays located on the ship each bay had the ability to fire 10 torpedoes
Simultaneously and each torpedo could also be given its own individual target
Bunch of rogue Klingons decided to take it on take it down and claim the victory
They pretty much meet their match with the enterprise-d
The battle takes place they take out the Klingons but in doing so they've damaged their own ship to the point where it's unrecoverable
They have to separate the Sun from the body
Let the body go to waste evacuate the crew to the saucer the ship had to go down it had to crash
there was no other way to
Keep in space. It was losing its orbit
it would have burnt up had they not been able to get down the smooth as you could get it in less than a
Way that Darin was able to survive
The successor to the enterprise-d was the new southern class starship
service number NCC
1701 II
Larger and tactically more capable than the enterprise-d this new vessel was designed to defend the Federation and its allies
The main aesthetic difference between the D and the e is the saucer shape they're both ovals but on the D
It's more of a wider layout and on the on the enterprise-e oval is elongated with the length of the ship
The enterprise-e was given a much tighter design the neck between the saucer and the body of the ship has been decreased
The nacelle have been elongated
For an increase in warp capability and to also increase the durability of the ship during extended warp travel
The enterprise-e had a purpose unlike the other ships for basically advancements in the lineage
The Enterprise II was basically designed to battle the board. Its whole purpose was to
Fight this enemy that's whole purpose was destroy and take over Earth
Basically was meant to be a battleship. It's a much sleeker ship
It's a longer ship in comparison to the original enterprise, which was roughly around 900 feet. This one was
2,250 feet fast difference in scale
Being that it was an attack vessel where this entire primary
Defense system attack system was was set forward on the saucer and on the side of the ship
they felt this would be the strongest point always keeping its nose high on its enemy and
being the one that would do the attacking as opposed to
Defending the most advanced tactical upgrade to the enterprise e was the addition of the quantum torpedoes
designed to help battle the Borg these torpedoes used
Zero-point energy which increased their destructive power up to two and a half times that of a standard torpedo
with the successful destruction of a Borg cube in 20
373 the quantum torpedo proved to aid in the Federation's ongoing battle with the board
During a hostile encounter with the riemann vessel scimitar the enterprise under the command of Captain jean-luc Picard
collides with the enemy ship crippling the scimitar and severely damaging the enterprise-e
The enterprise-e survives the battle comes back to earth
pretty much last moments recorded in the space dock being retrofitted with all its latest and newest technologies and
Awaiting its further and newest missions
Carrying on with the design of the enterprise the next day a numerical Enterprise of EDF in design sense
It's something that always on the drawing board
Ideas are always conceived of what the new ship would be
What would advance a ship from where we know they are now from nan apprise II? Where would you go?
The continuing voyages of the Starship Enterprise will last for generations to come
Always the most distinguished of Starfleet vessels any ship bearing the name enterprise will continue to be recognized
throughout the galaxy
