Happily, her earliest engagement of the five-year mission, against the deceptively powerful starship ''[[Fesarius]]'', ended with an amicable first contact with the First Federation in 2266. Following the destruction of the colony on [[Cestus III]], a surprise attack from a previously unknown species led to the battle and pursuit of an evenly-matched Gorn starship in 2267.
The ''Enterprise'' played [["fox]] " to the [[dog|"hounds]] " of her four sister starships in a [[war game]]s exercise on stardate 4729.4. Equipped with the new [[M-5]] [[computer]] and stripped of most of her crew, the ''Enterprise'' became a killing machine – crippling the {{USS|Excalibur|NCC-1664}} and killing her entire crew – before Kirk could re-assert control.
====Klingon engagements====
Upon her return to Earth, Star Fleet [[Commander in Chief]] Admiral [[Harry Morrow]] announced that the starship, then forty years old (although Morrow mistakenly claimed it was twenty years old; he might have been referring to the length of time that passed since her massive refit), would be decommissioned. When Morrow denied Kirk's wish to return to the [[Mutara sector]], Kirk conspired with his [[senior officer]]s and stole the ''Enterprise'' from [[Earth Spacedock]], in order to recover Spock's body from the [[Genesis Planet]]; to bring it, and his ''[[katra]]'', to [[Vulcan (planet)|Vulcan]].
At her destination, a [[Klingon Bird-of-Prey]]'s attack left the ''Enterprise'' disabled. After setting an [[auto-destruct]] sequence, Kirk and his crew abandoned the ship for the surface. [[bomb|Demolition charges]] in place throughout the ship <nowiki>'</nowiki>s saucer section exploded, killing the [[Klingon]] [[boarding party]]. The secondary hull (with what's left of the saucer) fell from orbit and immolated in the planet's [[atmosphere]].
