| Enterprise, NX-01 | |

| Class | NX Class |
| Registry | NX-01 |
| Affiliation | Earth Star Fleet/United Earth |
| Status | Decommissioned (2161) |
One of the most important starships in interstellar history, Enterprise (NX-01) was the first NX Class starship, launched by Star Fleet in 2151.
Enterprise established United Earth as a legitimate interstellar power, and caused a wholesale revolution in Alpha and Beta Quadrant politics, paving the way for the creation of the
United Federation of Planets. This ship possessed notoriety for having a Warp 5-capable engine, as well as a transporter rated for biological organisms.
(However, due to various malfunctions with the system, shuttlepod was still the preferred method of travel.)
Enterprise had a standard crew complement of eighty-three Humans, with the addition of a Vulcan acting en lieu of a First officer, and a Denobulan, who was the ship's doctor.

Commanding Officers
Captain Jonathan Archer
As Captain of the Enterprise NX-01, he was in charge of United Earth's first full-fledged starship. He held the responsibility of expanding United Earth's presence in the Alpha and Beta Quadrants, and ended up making first contact with more than a dozen species during his command. This paved the way for the creation of the United Federation of Planets, furthering the legacy of the Archer name. It was almost kismet that Jonathan was the commander of the first starship to use the Warp Five-capable engine, designed by his father, warp scientist Henry Archer. Being one of only four test pilots in the NX Program, Archer worked hard to earn his spot as Captain of his "father's ship," even going so far as to steal a prototype to prove that his father's engine design could work.
Despite the Vulcans persistence that Humans should delay their starship program, Archer took his ship out in 2151, returning a crashed Klingon messenger back to Qo'noS. Once that mission was complete, he had the blessing of his government to keep exploring. When his command finally ended in 2161, not only had he made First contact with more than a dozen species, but had also personally paved the way for the forming of the Federation as it is known today. He is seen as a pioneer, exploring new worlds, meeting new civilizations, all without the backing of a united government, and without the guidelines of the Prime Directive.
When Archer rescued his Andorian friend, Commander Shran, when his ship was destroyed, Shran blamed the Tellarites. When Archer investigated, however, he discovered that it was actually the Romulans, who were using a drone ship to manipulate other galactic powers into fighting one another. The Romulan Star Empire hoped to destabilize the entire region, so that they might conquer it. Archer organized a combined fleet of Humans, Vulcans, Andorians, and Tellarites to find the Romulan vessel - first step in uniting these different races against a common enemy.
Besides being a test pilot, a Captain, and a legacy, Jonathan Archer was also the first Captain to bring a pet on board. His Beagle puppy was no stranger to the ship's many missions; from contracting an alien pathogen to alerting Archer to the presence of spatial anomalies, Porthos also made history.
Commander T'Pol
Assigned to the Enterprise to basically act as a Vulcan babysitter to the Humans, T'Pol assignment was only supposed to last a year. The Vulcan High Command tried to recall her back to Vulcan, but she had warmed to the crew, and officially resigned her commission with the High Command in 2153. Continuing to act as an advisor to the Captain, T'Pol formalized her service with Starfleet in 2154, and was granted the rank of Commander. During her service on the Enterprise, the Vulcan acted as both Chief Science Officer and First Officer, not always agreeing with Captain Archer's way of command, but standing by him all the same.
