The USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) was a 24th century Federation Galaxy-class starship operated by Starfleet, and the fifth Federation starship to bear the name Enterprise. During its career, the Enterprise served as the Federation flagship and was in service from 2364 to 2371 when it was destroyed during the Battle of Veridian III.

During the Changeling/Borg threat of 2401, the rebuilt Enterprise was pressed back into service by her old command crew and flown from the Fleet Museum, where it was stored at the time.

History

Construction and launch

Enterprise at Earth Station McKinley

The Enterprise was built at Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards orbiting Mars in the Sol system. The construction was a massive undertaking, involving thousands of people across disciplines. Construction was supervised by Commander Quinteros. Dr. Leah Brahms was responsible for much of the Enterprise's warp propulsion system design. Some of the Enterprise's components were derived from technology originally developed on the USS Pegasus. In an alternate timeline, the Enterprise was the first Galaxy-class warship constructed.

One of the ship's nacelle tubes was the site of a multiple murder-suicide while it was still under construction at Utopia Planitia. A member of the construction team, Walter Pierce, became jealous of a former lover's new relationship. He killed the two officers, Marla Finn and William Hodges, then disposed of their bodies in the plasma stream. Pierce committed suicide in the same manner, leaving a telepathic imprint in a bulkhead that was not discovered until 2370.

On stardate 40759.5, in the year 2363, the Enterprise was launched from Mars. (Enterprise-D dedication plaque, second version) On stardate 41025.5, the Enterprise was commissioned.

Final systems completion and shakedown was conducted at Earth Station McKinley. Captain Jean-Luc Picard took command of the ship on stardate 41148 at the order of Rear Admiral Norah Satie.

Picard's eight-year mission

In orbit of a giant star

The Enterprise-D made first official contact with a number of species (see below).

While fleeing from the entity known as Q; the Enterprise conducted the first high warp (warp 9.6) saucer separation. The Traveler used the energy of his thoughts to move the Enterprise to a galaxy known as M-33 at a speed greater than warp 10. A subsequent use of the warp drive by the Traveler propelled the Enterprise tothe end of the universe at a speed that, according to the ship's instruments, never exceeded warp 1.5.

The Enterprise received a computer refit in 2364.

Arriving at the end of the universe

Later in 2364, the Enterprise was hijacked from Starbase 74 by the Bynars. They intended to use the ship to repair the damaged computer on their homeworld. The Enterprise was returned to Captain Picard's control following the incident, and the Bynars freely accepted the consequences of their actions.

During its first encounter with the Borg, sections 27, 28, and 29 on decks 4, 5, and 6 were removed for analysis by the Borg. Eighteen people were killed.

In 2366, the Enterprise had traveled about ten thousand light years.

During the Borg incursion of 2366 and 2367, the Enterprise suffered heavy damage. Deck 36, including main engineering, was decompressed after a cutting beam damaged the engineering hull, killing at least eleven, and possibly eight more.

Undergoing repairs at Earth

The main deflector dish was transformed into a last-ditch energy weapon, which failed due to the assimilated knowledge of Captain Picard. In the attempt, the deflector and warp core were overloaded, while several decks were flooded with radiation.

Later, the saucer module sustained damage to its impulse drive and decks 23 through 25 were sliced open by the enemy during the final battle over Earth. The extent of the damage required a full refit at Earth Station McKinley, which lasted five to six weeks.

During that refit, the starship received a phaser upgrade as well as full damage repair and a new dilithium chamber hatch. The hatch malfunctioned later that year, causing extensive damage to the warp core. Although Romulan sabotage was initially suspected, it was later learned that undetected flaws in the hatch were responsible.

The Enterprise was the command ship in Captain Picard's ad hoc armada which blockaded Romulan assistance to the House of Duras during the Klingon Civil War. It coordinated a tachyon detection grid which was used to detect cloaked Romulan ships from crossing the border.

The ship struck a quantum filament in early 2368, causing a loss of all power aboard ship and severe damage to most systems. Antimatter containment was nearly compromised; fortunately, repairs were made before the ship was destroyed.

Also in 2368, the Enterprise was trapped in a temporal causality loop near the Typhon Expanse. Each cycle ended in a catastrophic collision with the USS Bozeman, destroying both ships. Feelings of déjà vu allowed the Enterprise crew to gather clues which allowed them to send a message into the next loop and avoid the collision. The ship spent a total of 17.4 days repeating the same interval of time.

On a mission to Ligos VII, the Enterprise was attacked by two Klingon Bird-of-Prey starships under the command of the Ferengi DaiMon Lurin. The surprise attack allowed Lurin and his men to successfully hijack the Enterprise. Forcing its crew to transport to the surface of Ligos VII for slave labor, Lurin had planned to sell the Enterprise to the Romulans, however, his plans were thwarted by a group of crewmembers who had temporarily been transformed into children due to a transporter malfunction.

The Enterprise at Deep Space 9

The Enterprise was one of the first Starfleet vessels to dock at the newly commissioned Deep Space 9, where it offloaded most of the station's Starfleet contingent, and its first complement of Danube-class runabouts. The Enterprise departed the station and heading to the Lapolis system. Several weeks later, the Enterprise returned to Deep Space 9 to help repair the Bajoran aqueduct systems that had been damaged during the Cardassian Occupation of Bajor.

The Enterprise underwent its first baryon sweep at the Remmler Array in 2369. A stronger field was needed due to the Enterprise's heavy use of warp drive. During the sweep, a mercenary group nearly stole dangerous trilithium resin from the warp core but was thwarted by the Enterprise senior staff.

One of the most important discoveries in the history of the Federation was made aboard the Enterprise-D. Its crew pieced together Dr. Galen's final research to decipher a message from the ancient humanoids, the first humanoid species in the Milky Way Galaxy.

Late in 2369, the Enterprise was damaged while rescuing the crew of a Romulan warbird, who's artificial quantum singularity warp core had been colonized by lifeforms which mistook it for a genuine quantum singularity, causing severe disruptions in space-time.

The Enterprise was destroyed due to feedback from a power transfer beam, which was killing the lifeforms' young. Fortunately, four Enterprise crewmembers were returning to the ship at the time and were able to avert the Enterprise's destruction and save the Romulan crew.

The Enterprise at Qualor II

A new warp core was tested aboard the Enterprise in early 2370. The core was installed at Starbase 84; several points of the power transfer conduits were replaced as well.

The core and the conduits had been manufactured on Thanatos VII using interphase technology, attracting interphasic organisms which attached themselves to the crew and began to digest their cellular structures. An interphasic pulse was successful in destroying the creatures.

Also, during 2370, Commander La Forge engaged in a friendly contest with Donald Kaplan, chief engineer of the USS Intrepid. They competed to have the best power conversion rates in the fleet, with the Enterprise frequently beating out the Intrepid. (TNG: "Force of Nature")

The Enterprise became one of the few Federation ships to use a cloaking device in 2370, and perhaps the first to successfully use a phasing cloak. It had been retrieved from the wreckage of the USS Pegasus and was installed aboard the Enterprise to allow it to pass through an asteroid after a Romulan vessel sealed the ship inside.

Investigating the asteroid field in 2370

While investigating a rogue comet in 2370, the Enterprise stumbled upon an archive of the lost D'Arsay civilization. The archive trapped the ship and used matter and DNA aboard to create artifacts from the D'Arsay culture. The Enterprise was later returned to normal.

Lieutenant Worf supervised an upgrade of the Enterprise's weapons systems in late 2370. The tests were interrupted after the ship was ravaged by Barclay's Protomorphosis Syndrome.

At some unspecified point in 2370, the Enterprise-D docked at Deep Space 9, where some of the crew went on shore leave, and Lieutenant Jadzia Dax staked Commander Riker three strips of gold-pressed latinum when Riker's winning-streak ran dry at Quark's. Riker would later contact Quark and trade his unclaimed winnings for information on the Duras sisters.

The Enterprise temporarily became sentient in 2370 when an emergent lifeform used the ship's systems to reproduce.

When Miles O'Brien, one of the ship's former transporter chiefs, was captured by the Cardassians in late 2370, the Enterprise along with Prokofiev, and Valdemar were sent to patrol the Demilitarized Zone as a warning to the Cardassian government.

The Enterprise in 2371

In early 2371, the Enterprise received a number of refits to its internal spaces. Color and lighting schemes were slightly altered, and the bridge inherited a number of new consoles on the port and starboard sides. There were now four science stations, three along the starboard wall and one at the starboard side of the aft stations. Mission Ops was now the second station, followed by environmental control. Two engineering stations rounded out the aft area, while three communications stations were present along the port wall.

The Enterprise arrives at Amargosa

In addition, the main floor (where the captain's, executive officer's, and guest's chairs were) was slightly raised, and a chair was placed at the tactical station for the chief of security to sit while manning that console.

Later that year, the Enterprise picked up a distress call from the observatory in the Amargosa system. An away team led by Commander Riker found that the station had been attacked by Romulans, they also found an injured Doctor Tolian Soran buried among the wreckage. After analyzing the Romulan tricorder, they discovered the Romulans were looking for trilithium. Back on the station, Data and La Forge discovered a secret lab filled with solar probes when they are attacked by Soran. Soran then launched a solar probe that destroyed the Amargosa star, producing a level-12 shock wave, after rescuing Data, the Enterprise left the system as the observatory was destroyed.

The Enterprise in orbit of Veridian III

After talking with Guinan about Soran and the Nexus, Picard met with Data in Stellar cartography, after discovering Soran was altering the ribbon's course, Picard determined Soran was heading for the Veridian system and ordered Worf to set course at maximum warp. The Enterprise arrived at Veridian III and intercepted the Klingon Bird-of-Prey. The Klingons agreed to a "prisoner exchange" for La Forge, taking Picard in his place and allowing him to beam to Soran's location somewhere on the planet's surface.

Destruction

An engagement with a renegade Klingon Bird-of-Prey commanded by the Duras sisters in 2371 resulted in extensive damage to the Enterprise. The ship's magnetic interlocks were ruptured, and before efforts could be made to repair them, a coolant leak began, leading to an unavoidable warp core breach.

The Enterprise' stardrive section is destroyed

Faced with this scenario, Commander Riker ordered the evacuation of the crew from the secondary hull to the saucer section. Once the evacuation had been completed, the saucer could separate and get to a safe distance before the stardrive section was destroyed by the core breach. La Forge and Dr. Crusher oversaw the evacuations of their respective departments and completed it with a minute to spare. The saucer's impulse engines were engaged as soon as it cleared the secondary hull, but the saucer was unable to get to a safe distance before the core breached. The explosion produced a ion shock wave that disabled the entire saucer section and propelled it into a degrading orbit of Veridian III, forcing the saucer section into the planet's atmosphere.

The saucer section of the Enterprise grinds to a halt on Veridian III

With the saucer hurtling towards the surface of the planet, Data managed to reroute the auxiliary systems to the lateral thrusters and thereby restore thruster control to level out their descent. Moments later, the saucer crash-landed into a jungle on the planet's surface, flattening many trees as it came to rest. Owing to the relatively safe landing, the Enterprise's casualties were minimal. Unfortunately, the severe damage sustained by the primary hull in the battle and subsequent crash landing apparently rendered the ship unsalvageable. The ship's crew was rescued by three Starfleet vessels including the Nebula-class USS Farragut, an Oberth-class ship, and a Miranda-class ship.

Due to Prime Directive concerns, the crashed saucer section was recovered and transported to the Fleet Museum. Upon taking stewardship of the Museum, Commodore Geordi La Forge spent twenty years restoring the ship, using parts from the USS Syracuse to rebuild the secondary hull. He also repaired the extensive damage to the saucer section from the crash. By Frontier Day in 2401, the Enterprise-D was an operational starship once again, aside from some lingering issues that La Forge had yet to address.

Emergency return to service

In 2401, when Picard came to the Fleet Museum in search of La Forge's help with rescuing an away team from Daystrom Station, Alandra La Forge discreetly suggested using the Enterprise for the mission, but La Forge instantly shot the idea down. Instead, Jack Crusher and Sidney La Forge stole the cloaking device from the HMS Bounty.

"Well, I was gonna save this as a surprise one day,but... guess there's no time like the present."

— Commodore Geordi La Forge, 2401

The crew standing on the restored bridge of the Enterprise-D

On Frontier Day, La Forge revealed the Enterprise to the rest of its old command crew when they needed a ship not linked to the Starfleet mainframe, which had been used by the Borg to take over the Federation fleet. The ship was functional, barring some lingering issues. With the ship's computer identifying him as Captain Picard due to the long-outdated crew manifest, Picard jokingly accepted a field demotion to command the Enterprise again. (Template:PIC)

The Enterprise-D returns to service

Picking up a distress call from President Anton Chekov, it was quickly determined that the Enterprise was the only help that was coming for Earth. Deducing that the Borg had to be close, the Enterprise located a Borg cube hiding in Jupiter's Great Red Spot broadcasting the Borg Collective's command signal - Jack Crusher. Data quickly determined the cube to only be 36% operational as most of its resources were being used to broadcast the signal. After detecting the Enterprise, the cube lowered its shields and redirected its weapons in an invitation. Deducing that there was a beacon transmitting the signal across the solar system, Picard, Riker and Worf beamed aboard to find Jack and the coordinates for the beacon so that the Enterprise could target it while La Forge, Doctor Crusher, Counselor Troi and Data remained on the ship to help guide them.

The Enterprise-D escaping Jupiter with Jack Crusher following the destruction of the Borg Collective and the Borg Queen.

As Riker and Worf located the beacon, the cube opened fire on the Enterprise, but Crusher, displaying a surprising skill, was able to use the ship's weapons to take out the cube's defensive turrets. The information recovered by the away team revealed the beacon to be at the very heart of the cube, a location statistically impossible for even the best computer or pilot to reach. However, at Data's insistence, La Forge allowed him to fly the Enterprise through the cube's superstructure, eventually reaching the beacon which was discovered to be interfaced into the very substructure of the ship meaning that its destruction would trigger a cataclysmic chain reaction that would destroy the Borg cube and everyone on it.

The USS Enterprise-D and the USS Titan-A returning to Earth following their victory over the Borg.

The Enterprise hit the beacon with multiple phaser blasts and photon torpedos, destroying it and causing the cube to be consumed by a series of explosions. After Deanna telepathically sensed her husband's goodbye, she was able to fly the Enterprise over the away team's position and beam them out just in time for the ship to escape as the Borg cube was destroyed, ending the Borg threat forever and breaking the Borg's control over Starfleet. As everyone celebrated, Picard welcomed his son to the Enterprise.

Final retirement

""If ever there was better evidence that the past mattered... it's right here.""

— Jean-Luc Picard, 2402

The USS Enterprise-D was officially restored and took her place in the Fleet Museum.

After the battle at Jupiter, she was returned to the Fleet Museum and put on display in a place of honor between the USS Enterprise-A and the USS Stargazer. In 2402, Picard, La Forge and Riker reminisced about the old ship and the number of times that she had managed to save the world and how it was difficult to imagine what they might've been without her. La Forge ordered the computer to initiate shutdown procedure and promised to take good care of the Enterprise as "after all, she's always taken good care of us."

Legacy

Commander Riker was upset over the loss of the Enterprise. Having hoped he would one day command the ship, he was disappointed that he never got that opportunity. However, Picard expressed doubt that the Enterprise-D would be the last vessel to carry the name.

The Enterprise was so dear to Worf that, shortly after being reassigned to Deep Space 9 in 2372, he briefly considered resigning from Starfleet. Station commander Captain Benjamin Sisko expressed regret on the loss of the Enterprise and offered his condolences over the destruction of the ship to Worf, saying the Enterprise "was a good ship."

Picard dreams of the Enterprise-D in flight

Captain Picard's belief that the Enterprise-D would not be the final ship to bear the name was borne out with the christening of the Sovereign-class USS Enterprise-E in 2372. In that instance, the legacy of the Enterprise continued with Picard reprising his role as CO and selecting most of the former crew from the Enterprise-D, with the notable exception of Worf due to his most recent assignment to DS9.

Following a mission on Karzill IV in 2381, Riker commented to Lieutenant Brad Boimler on how much he missed the exploration and scientific exploits of the Enterprise-D compared to the "non-stop fighting" he experienced as captain of the USS Titan. He advised Boimler to enjoy his reassignment to the USS Cerritos similarly to his time on the Enterprise.

The Enterprise-D served as the setting for a late-24th century version of the Kobayashi Maru scenario among the USS Protostar's training programs. In 2383, Dal R'El attempted the scenario numerous times before learning its lesson.

In 2383, Hologram Janeway showed the young crew of the USS Protostar an image of the Enterprise-D while explaining the history of the Federation and Starfleet to them.

Picard's dream of the Enterprise-D

In 2399, Picard, sleeping at Château Picard in France, had a dream that he was in Ten Forward with Data on the Enterprise-D, playing a game of Poker. Nearing the end of the game, he stalled Data as best he could because he did not want the game to be over. They were seated at a table directly next to a window, which allowed Picard to notice Mars outside. He didn't realize that the Enterprise was on course for Mars, so this surprised him. He then watched as the entire planet exploded, engulfing the Enterprise as well, causing Picard to awaken from his dream.

Later that same year, a hologram of the Enterprise was displayed in the atrium of the CNC's office at Starfleet Headquarters.

By 2401, the Enterprise-D was depicted on a commemorative plaque alongside other historic ships at Starfleet Academy.

Later that year, in preparation for Frontier Day, Guinan began selling models of the various starship Enterprises, including the Enterprise-D at 10 Forward Avenue. However, much to Riker's chagrin, the Enterprise-D models proved to be unpopular, being seen as "the fat one".

Technical data

Physical arrangement

The Enterprise-D at warp

With a total of 42 decks, the USS Enterprise-D was twice the length and had eight times the interior space of the Constitution-class ships of over a century earlier it carried a combined crew and passenger load of 1,014.

The bridge, captain's ready room, and conference lounge were on Deck 1 and were protected by redundant safety interlocks to prevent environmental systems failure.

The main shuttlebay was on Deck 4, supported by several cargo bays on Deck 4 and Deck 18. Two additional shuttlebays were found on Deck 13.

The secondary hull or stardrive section following a saucer separation

Deck 8 of the ship was an unfinished multipurpose deck. Additional workspaces were set there when needed. It also contained the officers' quarters, some guest quarters, and the battle bridge.

Deck 12 contained sickbay and the gymnasium, while main engineering was located on Deck 36. Engineering took up twelve decks of the secondary hull, with the antimatter storage pods housed on Deck 42. There was a science section on deck 15.

The primary docking ports were located on either side of the torpedo launcher on Deck 25; the nacelle control room was also on that deck. According to Lieutenant Commander Nella Daren, the most acoustically perfect spot on the ship was the fourth intersect of Jefferies tube 25. The intersection formed a resonance chamber for the sound compression waves.

The ventral aft section

The Enterprise had a maximum sustainable speed of warp 9.6 for twelve hours.  

The warp core could generate a tremendous amount of energy at once if needed; the only device on the ship capable of channeling such energy all at once, at controlled frequencies, was the main deflector dish. There were some four thousand power systems in all on board the ship. It also had twenty transporter rooms, with at least one on deck 6.

Weaponry

The armaments of the Enterprise-D included twelve phaser arrays, two torpedo launchers, a supply of 250 photon torpedoes, and hundreds of antimatter mines. The ship was protected by a high capacity shield grid that could operate on multiple frequencies. When the ship was destroyed in 2371, the shield frequency was at 257.4 MHz.

Following the Enterprise being put back in service in 2401, then-Captain Worf noted how he preferred the weaponry aboard its successor ship.

Operations

The bulk of the people on board the Enterprise could be evacuated within four minutes. This was executed at Starbase 74 during 2364.

During emergency situations, certain large but protected areas of the ship were designated emergency shelters, including Ten Forward. Collectively, they could hold all the ship's crew and were designed so that the crew could reach one of the areas quickly. In 2367, while caught in a Tyken's Rift, the crew were ordered to these areas in order to get extra power from life support in non-shelter areas.

Shipboard life

In 2367, an average day aboard ship recorded by Lieutenant Commander Data included four birthdays, two personnel transfers, two chess tournaments, a secondary school play, four promotions, and at least one birth.

The Enterprise normally ran on three duty shifts. Increasing to four duty shifts caused many personnel scheduling problems, as observed when Captain Jellico ordered a change during his tenure in 2369.

Crewmembers of ensign rank were required to share crew quarters but were allowed their own quarters upon promotion to lieutenant junior grade. Families often shared quarters.

The Enterprise had five day care centers and at least seven classrooms.

Ten Forward, located at the extreme forward of Deck 10 in the saucer section, was the center of the ship's social activity; nearly everyone on board passed through the lounge at one time or another. Holodecks located on Deck 10 and Deck 12 also provided entertainment for the crew.

Crew

As of 2366, some thirteen species were represented among the 1,014 members of the ship's complement, at that time including Betazoid, Klingon, El-Aurian, Vulcan, and Human. Over the course of its mission, crew species included Bolian, Benzite, Bajoran, Napean, and an android. When Lal was considering an Andorian form, Troi told her that she would be alone, meaning there were no Andorians or at least no Andorian females on the ship then. As of 2369, there were seventeen crew members from non-Federation worlds. The ship also carried dolphins.

Beverly Crusher said there were supposed to be at least four people on duty in sickbay at all times.

Although Starfleet crewmembers staffed the vital positions on board the Enterprise, civilian crewmembers were allowed to hold important jobs in the ship's science and medical departments, as well as support areas like Ten Forward and the ship's school or the arboretum. The Enterprise included children among the civilians on board, a concept which was not initially embraced by Captain Picard.

Crew evaluations were conducted every three months and were usually supervised by Executive Officer William Riker and Counselor Deanna Troi.

Commanding officers

Although Captain Jean-Luc Picard commanded the Enterprise for most of the starship's life, his first officer, William Riker, was field promoted to captain in 2367 following Picard's capture by the Borg and assimilation as Locutus. In early 2369, the Enterprise was briefly commanded by Captain Edward Jellico, as Captain Picard was assigned to a covert mission on the Cardassian planet of Celtris III.

Following the Enterprise being put back in service in 2401, then-Admiral Picard retook command of the Enterprise.
