USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D), or Enterprise-D, is a starship in the Star Trek media franchise. Under the command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard, it is the main setting of the Star Trek: The Next Generation television series (1987–1994) and the film Star Trek Generations (1994). It has also been depicted in various spinoffs, films, books, and licensed products.
Designed by Andrew Probert, this Enterprise updates Matt Jefferies' basic design of the namesake Enterprise from the original Star Trek (1966–1969).
Design
Concept
The Enterprise's registry was originally NCC-1701-7, but the seven became a letter — a G, indicating the eighth starship Enterprise — to be consistent with the appearance of the Enterprise NCC-1701-A at the conclusion of Star Trek IV (1986). Unlike Captain Kirk's five-year mission in the original Star Trek, the crew in The Next Generation would be outfitted for a mission of at least 10 years. To sustain such a mission, the new vessel would twice as long, eight times the volume, and include the crew's families. Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry also wanted the new ship to bring an improved quality of life to its crew: it would be brighter, less militaristic, and have sleeker and more refined interfaces than the original series. He wanted the Enterprise to convey a harmony between science and quality of life.
A revision of the show's writers' guide from February 1987 specified the Enterprise as the NCC-1701-D, carrying a crew of 907 and their families; by March, the crew complement had increased to 1,012 and specified the show occurring 78 years after the original Star Trek.
Design
Andrew Probert, Rick Sternbach, and Michael Okuda were among the earliest hires for the new show's production, and all three had worked on Star Trek films. Roddenberry conceived the bridge set as having a forward viewscreen four times larger than in Star Trek, and for there to be a conference table on the bridge itself. As production continued, the table was shifted to a conference room, and an open bridge design formed. Probert designed a transporter to be near the bridge, but Roddenberry preferred the characters to have conversations on their way to a more distant transporter room.
Once the interior designs were concluded, Probert began working on the exterior design. He based his work on a "what if?" painting for an entirely new ship he'd made shortly after finalizing the Enterprise redesign for 1979's Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Story editor David Gerrold saw the sketch and brought it to creator Roddenberry's attention, who approved the sketch as a starting point for the Enterprise's design. The sleeker lines and rounded contours that informed the interior design also influenced the exterior. The ship's many windows are meant to support the crew's ability to stay in touch with their environment. Despite the changes, the Enterprise retains the hallmarks of Matt Jefferies' design for the original Enterprise: a saucer section, engineering section, and a pair of warp engine nacelles. Probert received a design patent on the Enterprise-D design in 1990.
Sets
Starting in October 1986, producers began planning the show's sets, including efforts to "scrounge" them from the film franchise. While the bridge "seems immense," it has the same 38-foot (12 m) width as the original series bridge and is 2 feet (0.61 m) longer.
An Industrial Light & Magic team supervised by Ease Owyeung built two filming miniatures (a six-foot model and a two-foot model) for "Encounter at Farpoint", the Star Trek: The Next Generation pilot, and these models were used throughout the first two seasons. For the third season, model-maker Greg Jein built a four-foot (1.2 m) miniature, which had an added layer of surface plating detail. The six-foot (1.8 m) model was used whenever a saucer separation sequence needed to be filmed, and it was then updated by ILM for use in Star Trek Generations.
Jonathan Frakes said, "When we negotiate our contracts, Paramount's company line is that the ship is in fact the star of the show!" In October 2006, the six-foot (1.8 m) Enterprise shooting miniature was auctioned in New York City at Christie's auction house, along with other models, props, costumes, and set pieces from the Star Trek franchise. Its projected value was $20,000 to $30,000, but the final sale price was $576,000 – the most expensive item in the auction. According to commentary on the Star Trek Generations DVD, one of the real world reasons for the Enterprise-D's destruction stems from a concept drawing of a saucer section landing, produced for the Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual. TNG writers Ronald D. Moore, Jeri Taylor and Brannon Braga saw the drawing and wanted to use a saucer crash as a sixth-season cliffhanger episode for the series, but were unable to do so because of a limited budget and resistance from producer Michael Piller.
ILM's John Knoll also built a CGI Electric Image model of the Enterprise-D for the film Star Trek Generations (1994). That model was transferred to LightWave and used to create various Galaxy-class starships in episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and in the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Timeless".
Eden FX's Gabriel Köerner built a new CGI LightWave model for the Enterprise-D's appearance in Star Trek: Enterprise's series finale, "These Are the Voyages...".
The proportions of the Galaxy-class Enterprise-D were different from the original Enterprise while retaining its familiar dual warp nacelles and saucer section appearance. The nacelles were made proportionally smaller than the saucer section, based on the idea that warp engines would have become more efficient over time.
Depiction
Starfleet commissions the Enterprise in 2263, and it first appears in "Encounter at Farpoint" under the command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard. The flagship of the United Federation of Planets, it is on a mission "to boldly go where no one has gone before." Across seven television seasons, the crew explores the galaxy and makes first contact with several new species.
In 2371, as depicted in Star Trek Generations, an attack by the Duras sisters heavily damages the Enterprise. A warp drive coolant leak causes an explosion that destroys the engineering section, and the saucer section crash lands on the surface of Veridian III. The ship is damaged beyond repair, and the sequel film introduces a new vessel, the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-E), as the crew's new ship.
Starship separation
The Galaxy-class Enterprise was capable of separating into two ships: the saucer section, with most of the ship's complement and accommodations, could separate from the stardrive (or engineering) section, featuring the warp reactor core and the bulk of the weaponry. The saucer section was sometimes used to evacuate its non-essential complement while the stardrive section went into combat, as seen in The Next Generation episodes "Encounter at Farpoint" and "The Arsenal of Freedom." This feature also conferred an advantage of having two vessels in combat instead of one as in "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II," or acting as a lifeboat as seen in the film Star Trek Generations. The Enterprise-D was the only starship seen in any of the television series to separate until the USS Prometheus during the fourth season of Star Trek: Voyager.
Command
The main bridge of the Galaxy-class Enterprise is on Deck 1. Three distinct Galaxy-class bridge variants have been seen with a fourth from the alternate future variant of the series finale: the Enterprise bridge in The Next Generation (which undergoes a redesign in the first two seasons), the Enterprise bridge in Star Trek Generations, and the USS Odyssey bridge in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "The Jem'Hadar". The Galaxy-class Enterprise also has a secondary battle bridge on Deck 8 of the secondary hull, for use when the saucer separates. It is first seen in the TNG episode "Encounter at Farpoint" and again in "The Arsenal of Freedom", with an updated version appearing in "The Best of Both Worlds".
Science and research
The Galaxy-class Enterprise supports an array of scientific disciplines, with laboratories and departments devoted to stellar cartography, exobiology, cetology, astrophysics, cybernetics, archaeology, cultural anthropology, botany, hydroponics, and planetary geosciences.
Tactical
The Galaxy-class Enterprise is armed with twelve Type-X phaser arrays and three photon torpedo launchers, each capable of firing 10 torpedoes at a time. One phaser array is mounted on the "cobra head" of the secondary hull while a photon torpedo launcher is mounted on the ventral aft of the saucer; both are inoperative while the saucer and stardrive sections are docked. The ship also has a high-capacity shield grid and, according to dialogue in the Next Generation episode "Conundrum", at least 250 photon torpedoes.
Transportation
The Galaxy-class Enterprise has at least eight transporter rooms and 20 transporter systems. The ship has one large main shuttle bay in the saucer section, supported by two smaller bays in the stardrive section. The ship carries a variety of shuttlecraft and a captain's yacht (according to Patrick Stewart, the yacht is named Calypso, after Jacques Cousteau's research vessel; though visible on the underside of the Enterprise saucer, it did not make an appearance during the series).
Medical and life support systems
The Galaxy-class Enterprise includes a sickbay and a number of labs and other medical facilities. The shuttlebays, cargo bays, and other areas of the ship can be converted into triage wards; such conversion of a cargo bay appears in the TNG episode "Ethics". Other areas, such as Ten Forward, can serve as emergency shelters. Such use of Ten Forward occurs in the Next Generation episode "Disaster".
Crew support
Various Next Generation episodes show that the Galaxy-class Enterprise has amenities such as holodecks, an arboretum, a school, a gymnasium, amphitheaters, and a bar called Ten Forward. According to "Encounter at Farpoint", several Enterprise crewmembers' civilian family members (including children) are aboard even though the Enterprise routinely faces situations that could easily end with the complete destruction of the ship with all hands. Some civilians work aboard the ship, such as the bartender Ben in "Lower Decks" and botanist Keiko O'Brien in "Rascals" and other episodes.
Reception
In 2018, Io9/Gizmodo ranked the fictional spacecraft design, the Enterprise-D, as the 5th best version of starship Enterprise of the Star Trek franchise.
In 2019, SyFy ranked the fictional starship design, the NCC-1701-D Enterprise as the second best version of the starship in the Star Trek science fiction universe.
