The USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) was a 23rd century Federation Constitution-class starship operated by Starfleet. In the course of her career, the Enterprise became the most celebrated starship of her time.

In her forty years of service and discovery, through upgrades and at least two major refits, she took part in numerous first contacts, military engagements, and time-travels. She achieved her most lasting fame from a five-year mission (2265-2270) under the command of Captain James T. Kirk.[1]

The Enterprise was destroyed over the Genesis Planet in 2285, when the ship's auto-destruct sequence was activated to prevent her from falling into the hands of the Klingons in an encounter that remains classified.[2] She was later replaced by the USS Enterprise-A following the Cetacean Probe crisis on earth in 2287.[3]
