Description
In spacedock, there is a magnificent new starship, designated NCC-1701-A and named the U.S.S. Enterprise, the final joy of Star Trek: The Voyage Home. The Constitution-class starship Enterprise-A was commissioned in 2286, at the end of the events depicted in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. It is the second Federation starship to carry the name Enterprise (although the ship in the prequel TV series Star Trek: Enterprise had the same name and preceded both the NCC-1701 and 1701-A, that series took place before the formation of The United Federation of Planets). While the ship’s history prior to its recommissioning as Enterprise has never been officially stated, several non-canon sources (such as the AMT/Ertl Model kit documentation) have claimed it to formerly be the USS Yorktown (NCC-1717); others cite it as the newly-built (but not yet commissioned) former USS Ti-Ho (NCC-1798), or the also newly built USS Atlantis, both newly-built ships. The ship is placed under the command of newly demoted Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner) as “punishment” for his and his crew’s actions in the rescue of Captain Spock (Leonard Nimoy) in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. It replaces the original USS Enterprise (NCC-1701), destroyed in Star Trek III. Though outwardly identical to its refitted and updated predecessor, in its debut, the new ship is beset with teething problems and Chief Engineer Scott and Commander Uhura are shown making numerous repairs and reconfigurations to the new ship before deployment.
