Designing the Next Generation Enterprise

When it came time to design a new Starship Enterprise , history did not repeat itself. Where Matt Jefferies had produced hundreds of sketches to come up with the design of the first Enterprise , Andrew Probert had a basic formula in mind before he was even hired for the job.

After working on The Motion Picture in 1978, and before a second Star Trek television series was even announced, Probert had painted a future starship strictly for his own enjoyment. When he interviewed for the position of senior illustrator on the new show in 1985, Probert said he was “so pumped up” that he started making more drawings as soon as he came home.

Knowing that the second series would be set about a century after the first, Probert felt the new Enterprise should be faster and probably sleeker. “At least it should be more elegant.”

Filling in details

When Probert was hired, it was to design the new Enterprise ’s bridge and other sets. The task of designing the ship itself fell to him by happenstance. Probert brought that painting of a future starship with him to his Paramount office. One day, Story Editor David Gerrold walked in, saw the design and took it to Gene Roddenberry, who approved it on the spot.

All that remained was filling in the details.

“The saucer had, since its inception, been the main section,” Probert explained, “so I made it larger in proportion to the secondary or engineering hull.”

In previous designs the warp nacelles were always to the rear but above the saucer rim, which visually seemed to give them equal importance and physically placed them above the ship’s center of mass. Both of these seemed to be negative points, which I hoped to remedy by lowering them to a position between the two hull sections. This would place them closer to the ship’s center of mass.

Also the struts holding the saucer and warp engines were slanted in opposite directions; the saucer is going forward, engines going back. That wasn’t bad, but it created a slight visual conflict, so I slanted them all forward to unify their direction and give the overall design a feeling of aggressive forward movement, like a lunging cat. The view from the front of the old ship produced a variety of shapes. I took my design theme from the saucer and started sketching every component as a compressed oval.

Probert’s final design had relatively short nacelles to suggest that warp technology had become more powerful. Roddenberry didn’t like it: “He was so used to those huge warp engines from The Original Series that this seemed underpowered to him.”

My whole intent on this ship was to unify all of those shapes; I wanted to give it a forward lunge for the saucer and a forward lunge for the engines, but Gene still wanted the engines to extend out the back as well.

Roddenberry’s only other change was to put the bridge back on top of the saucer. Given the size of the new ship, this only added a small bump. But it gave the viewers a sense of scale.

On the underside of the saucer, Probert inserted a captain’s yacht. Although the Enterprise -D’s was never seen on screen, it became a staple of Starfleet design. Rick Sternbach included a captain’s yacht in his design of Voyager and the Enterprise -E’s captain’s yacht was revealed in Insurrection .

Industrial Light and Magic built two miniatures for the first season: a large 6-foot model and a smaller, less detailed 2-foot model. Both were capable of saucer separation.

Greg Jein built a new, 4-foot miniature for Season 3. It had more pronounced hull plating and a thicker saucer rim to match the new Ten Forward set. Probert — who by then had left the show — had designed the saucer to be one deck in height .

Jein’s model largely replaced the other two, but stock footage from the first two seasons continued to be used, creating a visual discrepancy. The 6-footer was refurbished for Star Trek Generations , when a computer-generated version and a special 12-foot-wide saucer (for the crash) were also made.

I have the original artwork featured in the header!

A friend has a, presumably, cropped edition, 18 in. by 24 in., of the poster dated ’87 with the artists names on the bottom but not signed. Looks like it was folded a one time with a couple of small creases which do not detract immensely from the poster. In one of those plastic bordered frames. Do you think this has any value worth pursuing for sale?

I would love to see a fleshed out, maybe 3-D rendered version of the top artwork. Honestly, I think that design would’ve worked well in the Kelvin universe NuTrek.

Great article. Wish it were longer! To me the 1701-D will always be the most beautiful of all Trek ships, including the E.

Star Trek’s Starfleet Uniform Colors: What They Mean & Why They Changed

Captain kirk's "death" proves a truly dark fact about star trek's entire universe, to me, seven of nine is star trek’s most impressive character.

Here is a breakdown of all USS Enterprise Captains across the various Star Trek movies, live-action series, comics, and books. Beginning with Star Trek: The Original Series , the Starship Enterprise has been at the very heart of the enduring sci-fi franchise created by Gene Roddenberry in 1966. Of course, the two most famous Captains of the Enterprise are James T. Kirk (William Shatner) and Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart), who shared the big screen together in 1994's Star Trek Generations, but Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount) is quickly achieving greatness in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

Star Trek has introduced other successful spinoffs set on different starships like Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Discovery , as well as the space station-based Star Trek: Deep Space Nine . But, in the eyes of many fans, it isn't truly Star Trek unless it's about the Enterprise . The men and women who have commanded the Enterprise rank among the greatest heroes in Star Trek, because they know that when they sit in that chair, they can make a real difference. These are the accomplishments of all USS Enterprise Captains from every TV show, movie, and alternate reality.

The 22nd Century - USS Enterprise NX-01

Captain Jonathan Archer (Scott Bakula) - Star Trek: Enterprise 's titular starship was the first United Earth starship that could travel at Warp 5. Captain Archer commanded it during its missions which created pivotal alliances that ultimately led to the founding of Star Trek 's United Federation of Planets, which Archer presided over in 2161 – marking him among the most important of all USS Enterprise Captains.

The 23rd Century - USS Enterprise NX-0002

Admiral/Captain Charles Rasmussen - A Federation Starfleet Admiral and instructor at Starfleet Academy, Charles Rasmussen captained the Constitution-class ship NX-0002, during which Rasmussen also sacrificed his life to save his crew. This occurs in an issue of the Star Trek: The Original Series comics called "Shakedown."

The 23rd Century - USS Enterprise NCC-1701

Captain/Admiral Robert April - Captain April first appeared in Star Trek: The Animated Series , where he was voiced by James Doohan. In the 23rd century, Robert April was the first Captain of the Constitution -class USS Enterprise NCC-1701 deep space heavy cruiser when it launched in 2245. Christopher Pike was his First Officer during the starship's first five-year mission. Admiral April (Adrian Holmes) is a recurring character in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

Captain/Fleet Captain Christopher Pike - The Captain of the Enterprise in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds , Christopher Pike leads a new five-year mission of exploration. Pike counts Enterprise legends like Lt. Spock (Ethan Peck) and Number One (Rebecca Romijn) among his crew. In a few years, Fleet Captain Pike will suffer a horrific accident that leaves him trapped in a wheelchair. Jeffrey Hunter played Pike, Leonard Nimoy played Spock, and Majel Barrett played Number One in the original Star Trek pilot, "The Cage."

Vice Admiral/Captain Katrina Cornwell (Jayne Brook) - Starfleet Vice Admiral Katrina Cornwell temporarily assumed command of the USS Enterprise and then later transferred it back to Pike in 2258. This was part of the efforts to keep the Enterprise out of the war with the Klingons. At the Battle near Xahea, Cornwell ends up sacrificing her life in order to save the ship from an undetonated photon torpedo. Before that, in 2257, Cornwell also temporarily commanded the USS Discovery.

Captain/Admiral James T. Kirk (William Shatner) - The most legendar y Enterprise Captain of the 23rd century, Kirk's five-year mission was seen in Star Trek: The Original Series. Spock (Leonard Nimoy) held the dual role of the Enterprise 's First Officer and Science Officer. Kirk's Starship Enterprise engaged in numerous pivotal missions that resulted in Kirk's promotion to Admiral at the end of his voyages. Outside of the main series and movies (and often even outside of the Star Trek universe), Captain James T. Kirk continues to be referenced in animated series such as Star Trek: Lower Decks and Star Trek: Prodigy.

Captain Zarlo - In the Star Trek comic book series, Kirk gets assigned to take on a secret mission against the Klingons on the planet of Mobita, and Captain Zarlo gets assigned to replace Kirk as Captain of the Enterprise.

Captain Willard Decker (Stephen Collins) - In Star Trek: The Motion Picture , Captain Will Decker was in command of the retrofitted Starship Enterprise when Admiral Kirk demoted him to First Officer and took command of the mission to intercept V'Ger. Decker merged with V'Ger at the end of the film and was listed as "missing in action".

Captain Spock (Leonard Nimoy) - In 2285, Spock was promoted to Captain and commanded the Enterprise , which was primarily used as a training vessel. In Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan , Admiral Kirk once again assumed command when Khan Noonien Singh (Ricardo Montalban) stole the Genesis Device, which resulted in Spock's death.

Captain Lawrence H. Styles (James B. Sikking) - The arrogant and appropriately named Styles was actually the captain of the experimental USS Excelsior , which chased but failed to catch up to the Enterprise , ending up stolen and used in Kirk's mission to resurrect Spock. In the Star Trek novel "Prime Directive," Styles temporarily assumed command over the Enterprise during its refit after it was severely damaged. Styles has a similar attitude to Kirk, which is why they severely dislike each other (and mainly why their dynamic works).

The 23rd Century - USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A

Captain James T. Kirk - After stealing the Enterprise to resurrect Spock, and subsequently saving Earth from a space probe seeking to communicate with humpback whales in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home , Admiral Kirk was demoted to Captain and given command of the new USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A. Kirk's Enterprise-A in Star Trek V : The Final Frontie r and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country met God and helped secure peace with the Klingon Empire before the Enterprise-A was decommissioned.

The 23rd Century - USS Enterprise NCC-1701-B

Captain John Harriman (Alan Ruck) - The Excelsior -class USS Enterprise-B was launched in 2293 under the command of Captain John Harriman. Their shakedown cruise is infamous for encountering the Nexus, which resulted in the presumed death of Captain Kirk, as seen in the prologue of Star Trek Generations.

The 24th Century - USS Enterprise NCC-1701-C

Captain Rachel Garrett (Tricia O'Neill) - The Ambassador -class USS Enterprise-C made only one appearance, in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Yesterday's Enterprise". The Enterprise-C was meant to be destroyed at Narendra III while defending a Klingon outpost from a Romulan attack, but it fell through a time vortex that altered the timeline. Captain Garrett died before the Enterprise-C could return to its proper era and set the timeline right.

The 24th Century - USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D

Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) - Star Trek: The Next Generation 's Galaxy -class USS Enterprise-D was designated as the flagship of the United Federation of Planets. Under the command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard, the Enterprise-D's numerous missions involved multiple first contacts with new species, diplomatic and military engagements, and scientific pursuits. The Enterprise-D was destroyed on Veridian III in Star Trek Generations but the D was rebuilt and saved the galaxy one last time in Star Trek: Picard season 3.

Acting Captain William T. Riker (Jonathan Frakes) - In TNG 's "The Best of Both Worlds" two-parter, Captain Picard was abducted by the Borg and turned into Locutus. Commander William Riker became the Enterprise-D's Acting Captain and led the successful rescue of Picard and defeat of the Borg, after which Picard resumed his role as Captain of the Enterprise.

Captain Edward Jellico (Ronny Cox) - Perhaps the most despised Captain of the Enterprise, Edward Jellico was assigned to take over the Federation flagship when Picard went on a secret mission and was captured and tortured by the Cardassians in the "Chain of Command" two-parter. After alienating the crew and clashing with Riker, Jellico returned the Enterprise-D back to Picard once he was rescued.

The 24th Century - USS Enterprise NCC-1701-E

Captain Jean-Luc Picard - The Sovereign -class USS Enterprise-E was the most advanced starship in the Federation when it was assigned to Captain Picard prior to Star Trek: First Contact. Continuing as the Federation flagship, the Enterprise-E was the setting of three Star Trek: The Next Generation movies and the crew successfully faced the Borg, the Son'a, and the Remans led by Picard's clone, Shinzon (Tom Hardy).

Captain Worf (Michael Dorn) - Captain Picard was promoted to Admiral and left the USS Enterprise-E to lead the Federation's mission to rescue the Romulans from their sun going supernova. Worf was promoted to Captain of the Enterprise , but the ship was lost under mysterious circumstances. In Star Trek: Picard season 3, Worf insisted what happened to the E was "not my fault."

The 25th Century - USS Enterprise NCC-1701-F

Admiral Elizabeth Shelby (Elizabeth Dennehy) - The Odyssey -class USS Enterprise-F made its lone appearance in Star Trek: Picard season 3. Under the command of Admiral Shelby, the F was intended to lead Starfleet's Frontier Day celebration before the starship was retired. Tragically, the Enterprise-F and the rest of the assembled Starfleet were assimilated by the Borg, and Shelby was apparently killed at the end of Star Trek: Picard season 3.

The 25th Century - USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D

Commodore Geordi La Forge (LeVar Burton) - In Star Trek: Picard season 3, Commodore Geordi La Forge oversaw the Fleet Museum on Athan Prime where he painstakingly restored the USS Enterprise-D in secret. Geordi got to unveil his surprise to Admiral Picard and his fellow Enterprise-D crew mates as they warped off to save the galaxy on Frontier Day. When Picard beamed to the Borg Cube to rescue his son, Jack Crusher (Ed Speleers), Geordi became Acting Captain of the Enterprise-D. La Forge led the Enterprise's assault against the Borg Cube and successfully rescued Picard and friends before ending the threat of the Borg, at last.

The 25th Century - USS Enterprise NCC-1701-G

Captain Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan) - The Constitution III-class USS Titan-A was rechristened as the USS Enterprise-G at the end of Star Trek: Picard season 3 . The Titan's First Officer, Seven of Nine, was promoted to Captain of the Enterprise, with Commander Raffi Musiker (Michelle Hurd) as her First Officer and Ensign Jack Crusher (Ed Speleers) appointed as Special Counselor to the Captain. Seven also makes history as the first LGBTQI Captain of the Enterprise.

Star Trek Alternate Reality Enterprise Captains

The 22nd century mirror universe - iss enterprise nx-01.

Captain Maximilian Forrest (Vaughn Armstrong) - In the Mirror Universe, the NX-01 ISS Enterprise was commanded by Captain Forrest. In the Star Trek: Enterprise "In a Mirror, Darkly" two-parter, Forrest engaged in a tug-of-war for control of the Enterprise with Commander Jonathan Archer until he was killed by Tholians. However, Archer took command of the USS Defiant, a 23rd-century Constitutio n-class starship from the Prime Universe.

23rd Century United Earth Fleet Timeline - USS Enterprise NCC-1701

Captain James T. Kirk (Paul Wesley) - In an alternate reality created by Romulan interference in Earth's 21st-century history, Captain James T. Kirk commanded the USS Enterprise, a starship in the United Earth Fleet . The UEF was mired in an endless war with the Romulans, which humanity was losing. Kirk and Lt. La'an Noonien-Singh (Christina Chong) traveled back to 21st-century Toronto to reset the course of history back to Star Trek's proper Prime Timeline, but Captain Kirk was tragically shot and killed by a Romulan time traveler named Sera (Adelaide Kane) in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds season 2, episode 3, "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow."

The 23rd Century Mirror Universe - ISS Enterprise NCC-1701

Captain Christopher Pike - The ISS Enterprise' s original Captain was assassinated by James T. Kirk prior to the events of the Star Trek: The Original Series season 2 episode, "Mirror, Mirror".

Captain James T. Kirk - After he killed Pike, Captain Kirk maintained his control over the Enterprise thanks to a device called the Tantalus Field, which allowed him to vaporize his enemies remotely. Kirk was briefly switched with his Prime Universe counterpart, who posed as the Mirror Kirk until they were switched back to their proper realities.

Captain Spock - When the Mirror Kirk returned to the ISS Enterprise , Spock relieved him of command, took the Tantalus Field, and also Kirk's mistress Marlena Moreau (Barbara Luna).

History [ ]

Calypso maintenance was under the direction of systems technician Graham , who thought of the vessel as his own while it was docked aboard the Enterprise . ( ST reference : Ships of the Line )

In 2364 , the Calypso transported Captain Jean-Luc Picard to the Enterprise . ( Ships of the Line 2007 )

When the Enterprise primary hull crashed on Veridian III in 2371 , the Calypso was presumably damaged beyond repair and taken out of service with its mothership. ( TNG movie : Generations )

Cousteau (yacht)

The Cousteau contained a cockpit (with a dedication plaque ), a small transporter and cargo area, and a docking port which made a direct connection to the Enterprise -E. It was capable of atmospheric flight and landing on a planetary surface. It could also generate tachyon bursts . Only one pilot was needed to fly the craft.

In 2375 , Captain Jean-Luc Picard and his senior staff took the Cousteau to the Ba'ku planet as part of a plan to prevent the forced relocation of the Ba'ku by the Son'a . The yacht carried several weapons and transport inhibitors to the surface, which were deployed by the crew in order to keep the Son'a from removing the Ba'ku from the planet. Later, Data used the Cousteau to create a diversion by firing tachyon bursts into Ru'afo's ship 's shields , forcing him to reset his shield harmonics and allowing Worf to transport the bridge crew to the Federation holoship . Ru'afo was able to seriously damage the Cousteau before he was transported from his ship. ( Star Trek: Insurrection )

A model of the Cousteau was stored in Picard's section of the quantum archive at the Starfleet Archive Museum . ( PIC : " Remembrance ")

Shuttles named (2366) • (2367) • (2375) Shuttles of the USS (NCC-1701-E) Shuttlecraft: • Other: ground vehicle • Appendices [ ] Background information [ ]. John Eaves' orthographic drawings of the Cousteau The Cousteau was described as " a diplomatic cruising vessel that's docked out for touring, " by designer John Eaves , who noted: " It's almost 110 feet long, so it's a pretty big ship. " ( The Secrets of Star Trek: Insurrection , p. 39) Star Trek: Starship Spotter classified the Cousteau as a Mark 2 Captain's Yacht. A deleted scene established that the Cousteau disintegrated in the atmosphere of the Ba'ku planet shortly after Data's attack. The yacht was not shown attached to the Enterprise -E at the end of the film, so it was possible the yacht was destroyed. The Star Trek Encyclopedia , 4th ed., vol. 1, p. 117, 165, in the entries "captain's yacht" and " Cousteau ", stated the Cousteau was destroyed. It further stated in the notes to the former entry, " The Enterprise -E yacht was named Cousteau at the urging of Patrick Stewart , in honor of the French oceanographer. The name was inscribed on a dedication plaque in the ship's cabin. Cousteau was designed by Herman Zimmerman and John Eaves . " In the third edition of the Star Trek Encyclopedia (p. 590), the name of the yacht was said to have been chosen by producer Rick Berman . This might be the second captain's yacht and the third auxiliary vessel under Captain Picard named the Cousteau . In the notes to the "captain's yacht", in the fourth edition of the Star Trek Encyclopedia , the authors wrote, " The yacht on the Enterprise-D was apparently also named Cousteau , although we never saw it in use. " A Type 15 shuttlepod from the USS Aries and a Type 7 shuttlecraft from the USS Enterprise -D were also named Cousteau . Studio model [ ] See: Cousteau model See also [ ] Cousteau dedication plaque 1 Daniels (Crewman) 3 World War III USS Enterprise: This Might Be America's Best Aircraft Carrier Ever Summary and Key Points: The name Enterprise has a storied history in the U.S. Navy, with eight vessels bearing the name and a ninth, CVN-80, currently under construction. -Notably, CVN-65, the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, served from 1961 to 2012, participating in numerous conflicts and surviving significant incidents, including a major fire in 1969. The upcoming CVN-80, part of the Ford-class carriers, represents an evolution in naval technology, featuring advancements like the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System. -However, construction delays have pushed its expected delivery to late 2029. Despite these setbacks, the legacy of the USS Enterprise continues to be an integral part of U.S. naval history. The Storied History of the USS Enterprise in the U.S. Navy The name Enterprise carries quite a bit of history in the U.S. Navy. Eight different vessels have borne the name, with a ninth currently planned. When combined, the vessels’ lives span virtually the whole history of the U.S. Navy. Perhaps the most well-known Enterprise is CVN-65 , the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. From 1961 to 2012, she participated in multiple conflicts and marked a number of historic events. A major flight deck fire in 1969 helped prove firefighting concepts learned from the Navy’s Forrestal fire. In 2012, CVN-65 was decommissioned . At its very decommissioning ceremony, the secretary of the Navy announced the name Enterprise would live on in the third Gerald Ford-class carrier, which is currently under construction. Big E History The first Enterprise in Navy lineage did not even belong to the Navy. Rather, it was a British ship captured on Lake Champlain by the Continental Army and burned two years later to prevent the British from reclaiming her. Likewise, the second Enterprise was a privateer purchased for the Continental Navy. Little is known of her service record before she was returned to the Maryland Council of Safety in 1777. Only in 1799 was the first USS Enterprise launched explicitly for the U.S. Navy. She participated in the Barbary War and served for over 20 more years until she ran aground and broke up in the Caribbean in 1823.  Two more sailing vessels bore the name Enterprise through the 19th century, with little of note to their careers. During the First World War, the Navy purchased a wooden motor yacht called Enterprise from a private citizen to serve as a patrol craft.  The commissioning of USS Enterprise CV-6 in 1938 is where the “Big E” really came into her own. One of only three carriers built pre-war that survived the entire Second World War, this Enterprise participated in nearly every major engagement in the Pacific and survived significant damage. Her legacy was carried on by CVN-65. Design and Operational History While she wasn’t the first supercarrier, CVN-65 was one of the largest. At 1,122 feet long and displacing 94,781 tons, she is the longest warship ever built, and the third-largest by displacement. Her unique design includes eight reactors – far more than the two now standard – as well as four rudders, double every other carrier.  Over the course of her career, she achieved many major milestones, such as the first aircraft launch with a launch bar as opposed to a catapult bridle. She logged multiple combat deployments to Vietnam, launching thousands of strikes against targets.  In 1969, as Enterprise prepared for another deployment to Vietnam, she stopped in Hawaii for a last Operational Readiness Inspection.  During flight deck operations, an MD-3A “Huffer” – a tractor-mounted power unit used to start aircraft – was positioned such that its exhaust was blowing directly on a Zuni rocket mounted to an F-4 Phantom at the stern of the ship. At 8:18, the rocket became so hot it detonated, blowing holes in the Phantom’s fuel tanks and igniting the fuel inside. The resulting inferno would spark over a dozen more explosions from various bombs and fuel storage units. These blasts blew eight holes in the flight deck, allowing burning fuel to spill onto the decks below. In contrast to the Forrestal fire, where just over half the crew had attended firefighting training, 96% of Enterprise’s crew, and 86% of the embarked air wing, had received the training. A later investigation concluded that despite the massive damage and tragic toll of the fire – 28 sailors lost their lives – the actions of the crew were instrumental in containing the effects of the blaze. After the fire, Enterprise put in at Pearl Harbor for repairs before continuing her deployment to Vietnam. She served for many more decades and participated in Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. She was decommissioned in 2012. Introducing the New Big E The decommissioning of CVN-65 was not the end of USS Enterprise. CVN-80, the third Ford-class carrier, will bear the name Enterprise and carry on the legacy of these ships in the Navy. Naming this carrier Enterprise will break a streak of naming supercarriers after individuals that dates back to the 1960s. Delays for the New USS Enterprise  CVN-80 will be a Ford-class carrier , an evolution from the Nimitz class that currently makes up the bulk of the U.S. carrier fleet. Technological improvements allow the Fords to sail with several hundred fewer crewmembers. Additionally, they mount an Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System to replace the steam catapults in use since the 1950s.  The upcoming USS Enterprise (CVN-80) has fallen victim to delays. Initially, the service expected to receive the warship in 2028, but supply chain issues and other resource shortages have pushed this timeline back to late 2029.  “Any deviation that lengthens intervals between platforms compared to previously approved shipbuilding plans and forecasts is concerning because of the potential disruption to our supplier base, which continues its recovery amid significant levels of demand for its materials and products,” Todd Corillo, a spokesperson for HII’s Newport News Shipbuilding, said in a statement about the construction delays.
