[[Image:Leaving the barrier tosr.jpg|thumb|In the barrier void in 2265]]
The five-year mission began less than auspiciously. An extra-[[Milky Way Galaxy|galactic]] [[probe]] attempted on [[stardate]] 1312 led to the ''Enterprise'' <nowiki>'</nowiki>s collision with the previously-undocumented [[galactic barrier]], critically damaging various ship's systems and [[death|killing]] nine [[crew|crewmembers]]. Effects of the barrier's unusual [[energy]] on [[Human]]s led to the death of three officers, Helmsman [[Lee Kelso]], Doctor [[Elizabeth Dehner]], on extended duty to the ''Enterprise'' as an observer of human reactions to the stresses of space travel, and Kirk's personal friend, Lt. Cdr. [[Gary Mitchell]].
After the ship was upgraded with [[Kelvan]] [[Kelvan#Science and technology|technology]] in 2268, she was able to survive the barrier crossing before turning back. In her final crossing that same year, the ''Enterprise'' was temporarily stranded in a void region just beyond the barrier, before she could return to normal galactic space.
