The '''USS ''Enterprise'' (NCC-1701)''' was an [[alternate reality]] [[Federation]] {{class|Constitution|alternate reality}} [[starship]] that was in service with [[Starfleet]] in the mid-[[23rd century]]. Launched in [[2258]], she was officially made the Federation flagship. ({{film|11}})

[[File:USS Enterprise (alternate reality) under construction.jpg|thumb|left|The ''Enterprise'' under construction in [[Iowa]]]]
 
The ''Enterprise'' was under construction around [[2255]] at the [[Riverside Shipyard]], in [[Iowa]] and launched into service from the [[San Francisco Fleet Yards]], [[Earth]]. ({{film|11}})
 
{{bginfo|Events in the movie show the ship under initial construction in Iowa, but the ship's official [[dedication plaque]] lists her as being from the San Francisco Fleet Yards, indicating that at some point prior to launch the unfinished vessel was either transferred there or that the Riverside Shipyard was a branch of the San Francisco Fleet Yards.}}

[[File:USS Enterprise departs Starbase 1, 2258.jpg|thumb|The ''Enterprise'' departs spacedock]]
 
The ship's planned maiden voyage, under the command of {{alt|Christopher Pike}}, was brought forward after [[Earth]] received a [[distress call]] from {{alt|Vulcan}} while the bulk of the fleet engaged in the [[Laurentian system]]. As a result, the ''Enterprise'' was crewed primarily by [[Starfleet Academy]] cadets. The ship launched from [[Starbase 1]] with seven other starships to respond to the call, including the {{USS|Farragut|alternate reality}}, the {{USS|Truman|23rd century}}, and the {{USS|Hood|alternate reality}}. However, its departure was delayed because helmsman {{alt|Hikaru Sulu}} forgot to disengage the [[inertial damper]] which actually saved the ship after it arrived shortly after the rescue fleet had been destroyed by the [[Romulan]] mining ship ''[[Narada]]''.
 
 
[[File:Enterprise evading shipwrecks.jpg|thumb|The ''Enterprise'' warps into Nero's mess]]
 
The ''Enterprise'' proved to be no match for the technologically-advanced [[missile]]s of the ''Narada''. Fortunately, [[Nero]] recognized the ''Enterprise'' as the vessel that {{alt|Spock}} served on. He chose not to destroy the ''Enterprise'' to let Spock see the destruction of Vulcan. ''Enterprise'' found that it was unable to contact [[Starfleet]] or to begin evacuating the inhabitants of Vulcan, as the ''Narada''{{'}}s [[drill platform]], while in operation, prevented [[communication]]s and [[transporter]] use. Despite the sabotage of the drill platform, Nero launched a container of [[red matter]] into the planet core, which created a singularity that caused Vulcan to implode, along with all but 10,000 Vulcans.
 
 
Following the [[destruction of Vulcan]] and the capture of Captain Pike, [[acting captain]] Spock intended to take the ''Enterprise'' to rendezvous with the rest of the fleet at the Laurentian system, but acting [[first officer]] {{alt|James T. Kirk}} thought it better to attempt to stop Nero. Spock then marooned Kirk for mutiny on [[Delta Vega (Vulcan system)|Delta Vega]], but Kirk managed to beam back on with the help of another [[Spock]] and {{alt|Montgomery Scott|Scotty}}. Spock was forced to resign his command to Kirk according to [[Starfleet General Orders and Regulations|Regulation 619]], and the ''Enterprise'' reversed course in an attempt to intercept the ''Narada'' before it could strike Earth.
 
 
Emerging from [[warp]] in the [[atmosphere]] of [[Titan]], the ''Enterprise'' hid from the ''Narada''{{'}}s [[sensor]]s using the magnetic distortion of [[Saturn]]'s rings, while [[transwarp beaming|beaming]] Spock and Kirk aboard the Romulan ship before its drill could be ignited. However, the duo could not be rescued as the drill was ignited shortly after. Kirk then rescued Pike, while Spock confiscated the ''[[Jellyfish (ship)|Jellyfish]]'' and used it to destroy the drill.
 
 
[[File:USS Enterprise firing on Narada.jpg|thumb|left|The ''Enterprise'' fires on the ''Narada's'' missiles]] Spock then warped out of the system, with Nero pursuing. Spock set a collision course, and Nero launched his remaining missiles to defend the ''Narada''. The ''Enterprise'' then warped in, phasers blazing, destroying the missiles, and allowing Spock to continue. Shortly before impact, Spock, Kirk, and Pike were beamed out by Scotty onto the ''Enterprise''.
 
 
[[File:Enterprise pulled in.jpg|thumb|right|The ''Enterprise'' being pulled into the black hole]]
 
The impact ignited the red matter aboard the ''Jellyfish'', creating a [[black hole]] which consumed the ''Narada'' and caused the ship to be stuck, when Kirk offered assistance. Nero refused, Kirk acknowleged the refusal and the ''Enterprise'' brought all her phasers and photon torpedoes to bear on the ''Narada'', firing on the ship and blasting it to pieces, causing the massive mining ship to collapse and be pulled into the black hole. The ''Enterprise'' was nearly pulled into the black hole as well, but the ship was saved when the ship's [[warp core]] was ejected and detonated, the resulting [[shock wave]] of which propelled the ''Enterprise'' to safety.
 
 
Following the successful mission of the ''Enterprise'', Pike was promoted to [[admiral]], and James Kirk was assigned to command the ''Enterprise'' as his relief. He subsequently chose Spock as his first officer. ({{film|11}})
 
 
[[File:USS Enterprise resurfacing on Nibiru.jpg|thumb|left|''Enterprise'' resurfacing on Nibiru]]
 
In [[2259]], the ''Enterprise'' was sent to survey [[Nibiru]] when the crew discovered a [[volcano|volcanic eruption]] would render the primitive [[Nibiran]]s extinct. Kirk parked the ''Enterprise'' underwater, despite Scotty's protests, and this ultimately forced Kirk to expose the ship to the natives in order to transport Spock out of the volcano before the [[cold fusion]] device he placed detonated. After appearing to the natives, the Nibirians drew a sketch of the ''Enterprise'' in the ground and began to worship the ship as a deity, in violation of the [[Prime Directive]]. Returning to Earth, Kirk was demoted, but Pike convinced Admiral {{alt|Alexander Marcus}} to let him appoint Kirk as his first officer.
 
 
[[File:USS Enterprise departs Starbase 1, 2259.jpg|thumb|The ''Enterprise'' departs Starbase 1]]
 
That evening, the rogue agent [[Khan Noonien Singh (alternate reality)|John Harrison]] attacked [[Starfleet Headquarters]] to assassinate Marcus, but killed Pike instead. Marcus gave a vengeful Kirk permission to take the ''Enterprise'' to [[Qo'noS]] where Harrison had fled, and fire on his location with 72 [[advanced long-range torpedo]]es. Chief Engineer Scott protested the loading of the [[photon torpedo]]es aboard ''Enterprise'' without his chance to examine them, offering his resignation, which Kirk accepted. Chekov was appointed as Scotty's replacement.
 
 
[[File:Enterprise and Vengeance face off.jpg|thumb|left|''Enterprise'' and ''Vengeance'' come face to face]]
 
Kirk found Harrison on Qo'noS and had him brought to the [[brig]]. Harrison was reticent about his motives, but suggested Kirk examined the torpedoes Marcus gave him, and also gave him a set of [[coordinates]], which the captain sent to Scotty to investigate. Marcus's daughter {{alt|Carol Marcus|Carol}} and McCoy opened up a torpedo and discovered it held a man in [[cryogenic stasis]]. Harrison revealed he was {{alt|Khan Noonien Singh}} and the torpedoes held his fellow [[Augment]]s, whom Marcus had threatened him into cooperation with. Marcus arrived in the {{USS|Vengeance}} and demanded Kirk hand over Khan, but Kirk refused, intending to expose the conspiracy by bringing Khan to trial on Earth.
 
 
[[File:USS Vengeance fires on the USS Enterprise.jpg|thumb|The USS ''Vengeance'' fires on the USS ''Enterprise'']]
 
The ''Vengeance'' caught up with the ''Enterprise'' at warp and fired on it, halting it [[Battle of Luna|as it arrived just outside Earth]]. Marcus beamed up his daughter before preparing to wipe out all other witnesses to his plot, but Scotty, who had snuck aboard the ''Vengeance'' at the coordinates given by Khan, deactivated its weapons. Kirk and Khan donned [[thruster suit]]s to commandeer the ''Vengeance'', while Spock ordered McCoy to remove the [[cryotube]]s from the torpedoes.

[[File:Enterprise's upgraded impulse drive.jpg|thumb|right|The ''Enterprise''{{'}}s refitted [[impulse engine]] and [[nacelle]] fins]]
 
Aboard the ''Vengeance'', Khan killed Admiral Marcus and demanded Spock hand over the torpedoes in exchange for Kirk, Scotty and Carol and the safety of the ''Enterprise''. Spock, knowing Khan would renege on letting the ''Enterprise'' survive, set the transported torpedoes to detonate in the ''Vengeance'''s cargo bay. The damage inflicted caused both ships to hurtle to Earth, but Kirk was able to repair the warp core before the ''Enterprise'' crashed.
 
 
Following nearly a year of repairs, the ''Enterprise'' was rechristened and [[refit|refitted]] to become the first starship to embark on a five-year mission. ({{film|12}})
