The Bonaventure on the cover of Star Trek Chronology

The Bonaventure is likely a predecessor to the Bonaventure (10281NCC). There have been several ships in the Royal Navy with the name HMS Bonaventure. A Canadian aircraft carrier was renamed HMCS Bonaventure in 1952.

The first appearance of the Bonaventure was in the first edition of the Star Trek Chronology, the reference model for which, especially built by Greg Jein, and later to appear in several episodes of Deep Space Nine as a set dressing in the role of a display model. [1](X) In the Chronology the ship is identified as Zefram Cochrane's first warp-powered spacecraft from 2061. The name of the ship appeared on the wall display featuring warp ships. Registry was visible on the model. The Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual (page 54) mention a prototype field device and an unmanned flight test vehicle from 2061, which predates all manned warp ships.

Following the introduction of the Phoenix in Star Trek: First Contact, Jein's model and all depictions of the Bonaventure were removed from the Deep Space Nine set and from the second edition of Star Trek Chronology. According to the second edition, the Bonaventure was a conjectural design for what became the Phoenix. Several significant changes were made to the design, in part because the film required the ship to be launched from a missile.

In Star Trek Spaceflight Chronology (1980), a Cochrane-class cruiser, the UNSS Bonaventure was introduced as Earth's first warp drive ship. Utilizing an alien warp guidance system, she began Earth's warp drive era under the command of Captain Hadrian Huckleby, with a trip to Tau Ceti. This was four years after the first successful demonstration of warp technology.

Apocrypha

In the novel Federation, Zefram Cochrane's first warp ship that traveled to Alpha Centauri was called the Bonaventure and his later personal ship is called the Bonaventure II.
