The first Enterprise
was a Three-masted 19th-century sailing frigate.A holographic representation of this Enterprise was used by the crew of the Starship Enterprise-D as a setting for the promotion ceremony held for Worf in 2371, when he became a lieutenant commander. [Star Trek - The Next Generation]
The starship U.S.S. Enterprise NCC 1701
is, perhaps the most famous spacecraft in the history of space exploration. It was a Constitution-class vessel. Launched in 2245 from the San Francisco Yards orbiting Earth, the Enterprise was first commanded by Captain Robert April, then by Captain Christopher Pike.
The ship achieved legendary status during the five-year mission commanded by Captain James T. Kirk from 2264 to 2269. The original Starship Enterprise was refitted several times during its lifetime, most notably in 2270, when virtually every major system was upgrated, a new bridge module was installed, and the warp-drive nacelles were replaced. The ship was destroyed by James Kirk in 2285, just prior to its scheduled retirement, in order to prevent the ship from falling into Klingon hands during a rescue mission to recover the body of Captain Spock.
The I.S.S. Enterprise
was the Starship [copy of the original Enterprise] in the parallel mirror universe. A landing party from the U.S.S. Enterprise´s was accidentally transported to the I.S.S. Enterprise during a severe ionstorm in 2267. The mirror universe´s crew were savage and , in many ways, opposite to the U.S.S. Enterprise crew; Their mission was to conquer and control worlds for the empire.
