Constitution Refit Class

Constitution Refit Class Studio Miniature

The second Federation starship to bear the name, the Enterprise-A was a Constitution-class vessel, registry number NCC-1701-A. Launched in 2286, the Enterprise-A was placed under the command of Captain James T. Kirk by the Federation Council and Starfleet Command in appreciation for Kirk's role in saving planet Earth from the destructive effects of an alien space probe. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home). Although shakedown tests and systems installation under the aegis of Captain Montgomery Scott had not been completed, the Enterprise-A was rushed into service in early 2287 to intervene in a hostage situation at planet Nimbus III (Star Trek V: The Final Frontier). The ship, under the reluctant command of Captain Kirk, was pressed back into service to escort Klingon Chancellor Gorkon to Earth for a peace conference. Although the scheduled talks were canceled after the assassination of Gorkon, the Enterprise-A and her crew were instrumental in the success of the historic Khitomer peace conference shortly thereafter. The Enterprise-A was scheduled to be decommissioned shortly thereafter the Kitomer conference (Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country). The Enterprise-A's exterior was virtually identical to the upgraded original Enterprise first seen in Star Trek: The Motion Picture, although many of the interiors were redesigned for Star Trek V and VI.
