USS Enterprise (NCC-1701)

The USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) was a Republic Constitution-class (eventually refit to Enterprise-subclass) heavy cruiser starship in service to the Republic Starfleet in the 23rd century. Launched in 2245, the Enterprise would be commanded by some of the best captains in the Fleet. These included Robert April, Christopher Pike, and James T. Kirk. Enterprise underwent a major overhaul in 2270, engaged V'Ger in 2273, and was destroyed over the Genesis Planet in 2285. Her long and brillant service made the ship the most famous vessel in history, along with the Millenium Falcon.

In her forty years of service, through numerous upgrades and refits, she took part in more then 1,000 first contacts, 500,000 military engagements, and over 100 time-travels. In her years of service she was commanded by seven captains total, but she achieved her lasting fame as Starfleet's flagship under the command of James T. Kirk.

Over the years, the Enterprise crew repersented a diversity of races and cultures, including Humans, Vulcans, Andorians, Tellarites, Lirin, Caitians, Betelgeusians, Kelyans, Zaranites, Saurians, Argelians, Rhaandarites, Sulamids, Triexians, Gallamites, Deltans, Tanians, Jawas, Sand People, Trasndorians, Wookiees, Ewoks, and Chiss, and even races of non-aligned cultures, including a Klignon, Gorn, Horta, Kelvan, Ssi-ruuk, Yuuzhan Vong, Gamorean, Hutt, and Mandolorian.
