ddillard 2 Posted September 27, 2003 I am under the impression that Enterprise is 100 years before TOS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack_Bauer 1 Posted September 27, 2003 ddillard's right. Enterprise is currently set in 2153, TOS starts in 2266. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted September 27, 2003 OK, Mr. Vash, you're confused. Star Trek was on for 3 seasons, set in 2266-2269. Star Trek movies 1-3 feature the Enterprise from the original series, until it's self destruction to prevent take over from Klingon capture. The Admiral said the Enterprise was 20 years old, but this is a blooper. The ship is actually 40 years old. The ship also had a "new look" becuase it needed to be updated for the movies, with them being high budget in comparrison to a low budget TV show. Enterprise began in 2151 with the early half of season 3 set in 2153. This series is a prequal to the original series, set on an entirely different ship. In conclussion, we have the NX-01 Enterprise in the mid-22nd century and the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 in the mid-23rd century. Hope this clears things up.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard 1 Posted September 27, 2003 (edited) Star Trek: Enterprise is about Starfleet's first deep space ship, the NX-01 Enterprise, currently set in 2153. Thus the "NX-01". Star Trek's Enterprise timeline goes as follows: 2245 - U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 launched under command of Robert April for a 5-year-mission. Christopher Pike then gets 2 5-year-missions. 2264 - Captain James T. Kirk commands the Enterprise for a 5-year-mission. 2269 - Kirk's 5-year-mission ends, Kirk is promoted to Admiral, the Enterprise goes for a 2 1/2 year refit. 2271 - Star Trek: The Motion Picture (Spock commands the Enterprise for a 5-year-mission) 2285 - Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn 2285 - Star Trek III: The Search for Spock - The Enterprise is decommissioned, but Kirk and friends steal it, with the ship fully automated, and go off to retrieve Spock's body from Genesis. After all, at the end of ST-2, Kirk does indeed say, "If Genesis is truely life from death... then I must return here some day," or something to that effect. Anyway, once there, Klingons try to take over, so Kirk self destructs the Enterprise. Hope that helps you tell apart NX-01 and NCC-1701.
