USS Enterprise
Class:	Enterprise-J type
Registry:	NCC-1701-J
Owner:	United Federation of Planets
Operator:	Starfleet
Status:	Active (26th century)

In a possible future, the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-J) was a Federation starship that was in service to Starfleet in the 26th century.

The Enterprise-J participated in the historic Battle of Procyon V, wherein the forces of the Federation successfully drove the Sphere Builders back into their transdimensional realm. In 2153, as Captain Jonathan Archer of the Enterprise NX-01 was preparing to undertake a suicide mission to destroy the Xindi weapon in the Delphic Expanse, Temporal Agent Daniels transported Archer to the Enterprise-J to witness the battle. It was Daniels's hope that Archer could be convinced to abandon his suicide mission and attempt to make peace with the Xindi, informing Archer that, without him, the Federation would never come into existence and the Sphere Builders would remain unopposed. Archer was unconvinced, however, and demanded that Daniels return him to his own time. (ENT: "Azati Prime")

Background information Edit

The Enterprise-J was seen only in the background in the form of graphics on a computer screen. A CGI model was built by designer Doug Drexler. According to Rob Bonchune, "From what I understand, it was done quick and dirty, so was not really detailed in any way like a model we would use in multiple shots." [1] An official class name hasn't been confirmed, although Doug Drexler himself approves of Universe-class. [2] He also estimates the length at about two miles. [3]

Drexler saw the Enterprise-J "as a multi-generational vessel, that had large parks, entertainment zones, and entire universities on board. The ship is so large that turbolifts would be replaced with site to site transporters. [It] had one deflector, recognizably descended from the NX. I opted for spindly nacelle struts because I felt it suggested a technology beyond what we were familiar with. They are beyond transwarp. They can fold space, and they are exploring other galaxies besides the Milky Way." [4] The doors shown in the corridors aboard the Enterprise-J appear to be the same used aboard Deep Space 9.

The 2005 Star Trek: Ships of the Line calendar later featured a specially-created, fully-rendered image of the Enterprise-J in flight. Doug Drexler released renderings of the Enterprise-J on his blog including two other 26th century Federation vessels that never appeared, the Altair and Congo classes. [5] [6]
