USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D)

USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D)

The USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) (or Enterprise-D, to distinguish it from prior and later starships with the same name) is a 24th-century starship in the Star Trek fictional universe and the principal setting of the Star Trek: The Next Generation television series. The Enterprise-D is a Galaxy-class ship and the fifth Federation starship in the Star Trek universe to carry the name Enterprise.

The Enterprise-D also appears in the pilot episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine ("Emissary"), and the series finale of Star Trek: Enterprise ("These Are the Voyages..."). During its last mission after combat with the Duras sisters Klingon Bird of Prey in Star Trek Generations, the ship's stardrive section is destroyed as a result of a warp core breach, and the saucer section crash lands on the surface of Veridian III.
