Star Trek Beyond: All the Enterprises Throughout History
On July 22, the newest installment of the Star Trek reboot will hit theaters, Star Trek: Beyond. The most iconic thing about the franchise is the ship, the Enterprise. Since the first television series debuted 50 years ago, there have been a few different versions.
Enterprise (OV-101)
In the original Star Trek: The Motion Picture, there were some drawings of the first Enterprise. After fans and Gerald Ford saw the film, the ex-President used his clout to get an orbiter called the Constitution to be renamed the Enterprise, in real life.
USS Enterprise (XCV 330)
The XCV 330 appeared in Star Trek: The Motion Picture as an illustration. It also appeared in a flashback on the 2001 TV series Enterprise.
Enterprise (NX-01)
The NX-01 was the star of the Enterprise television series, which was helmed by Jonathan Archer.
USS Enterprise (NCC-1701)
The NCC-1701 is the most familiar of all the versions of the ship, as James T Kirk captained this vessel during the Star Trek television series, as well as the first three films.
USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-A)
In Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, the Enterprise was destroyed. Kirk and his crew take control of the NCC-1701-A in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home after completing their previous mission, which consisted of traveling to the past and talking to whales.
USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-B)
The NCC-1701-B appeared in one film: Star Trek: Generations, which featured the casts from the original television series and Star Trek: The Next Generation.
USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-C)
The NCC-1701-C appeared on an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation titled "Yesterday's Enterprise." The 1701-C traveled to the future, and the current Enterprise crew must send it back to its timeline.
USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D)
This vessel was the primary setting for the TV series Star Trek: The Next Generation. The ship was lost during Star Trek: Generations.
USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-E)
The NCC-1701-E appeared only after Star Trek: The Next Generation went off the air. It was featured in the films Star Trek: First Contact, Star Trek: Insurrection, and Star Trek: Nemesis.
USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-J)
In the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "Azati Prime," the crew is taken into the future and watch a climactic battle that happens in the 26th century, 300 years into the show's future.
USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D): Alternate Timeline
During the final episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, this ship from an alternate future made its debut. In that timeline, it did not crash during Star Trek: Generations.
USS Enterprise (NCC-1701): Alternate Timeline
Finally, there's the alternate timeline version of the NCC-1701, which is featured in the 2009 reboot of the Star Trek franchise, as well as the 2013 film Star Trek Into Darkness.
