Star Trek is an American science fiction media franchise that originated from the 1960s
television series star trek created by Gene Roddenberry.
Star Trek has been a cult phenomenon for decades and in many ways influenced the popular star wars
film the franchise spawned many spins up including movies games novels toys and comics the USS
Enterprise NCC 1701 is a starship in the Star Trek media franchise was initially a vision of the
potential for human space flight. The Enterprise became a popular culture icon and has repeatedly
been identified as one of the best designed and most influential science fiction spacecraft.
When it comes to scaling it was difficult to understand how big the enterprise was without any
references on the tv series the ship was typically in space so there isn't any object to compare to.
For this example, I'll be using the Starship SN9 which is about 50 meters in height.
Next to the USS Enterprise is actually quite small in comparison.
The1701 is about 288 meters or 947 feet in length and about 88 meters or 289 feet in height
When comparing 1701 to the enterprise 1701d the 1701d is much larger in size it measured
around 642 meters or 2106 feet in length and about 137 meters all 450 feet in height next
to the 1701-D is the variant JJ verse enterprise 1701 which is slightly larger than the 1701-D.
As we take a closer look at the enterprise in its core design components a saucer-shaped primary
hull and two offset engines nacelles on the cylindrical secondary hull.
The engine on the back wore two propulsion units or warp drive.
These propulsion systems allow the starship and other starcraft to travel through the universe.
The sensor probe was used to refer to any devices that were used to scan record or observe any
aspect of the environment surrounding a starship spaceship or person the navigational deflector
also known as the main deflector. It was used to divert
asteroids, microscopic particles, and other objects that might have collided with the ship
The USS Enterprise used a duotonic sensor array.
for collecting and processing an electromagnetic or acoustic signal.
The Bussard collector was a device usually attached to the foreign of the warp nacelle.
It was used to refuel the vessel by accumulating interstellar hydrogen atoms.
The starship has the ability to separate during an emergency or tactical maneuver performed by some
of the federation starship involving the complete disconnection of the primary and secondary hull.
On Starfleet vessel, the bridge was usually located on deck 1
on top of the vessel. The bridge was the nerve center of every starship
and it was made by top officers of each department except for engineering and medical, there was
typically an engineering station that the chief engineer could use. When on the bridge as well
as the science station that the science officer or chief medical office could use new the main
bridge was a science laboratory an area set up for main work in experimental or observational science.
Near the center of the vessel was the computer core which housed the primary processing
equipment the computer room was based around the system redundant computer
core that processes data of all the ship's system every single system from life support to weapons
and shielding depends on the computer core. The crew quarter can be found throughout the
vessel vary in size and detail but the officers quarters were generally closer to the bridge.
Right next to the sensor dome is the perishable cargo, torpedo magazine, and forward phasers. The phasers
is the direct energy weapon of choice for the Starfleet and the federation of planets.
As we head closer to the front we can find the sickbay and the recreational deck and front the
ship was the auxiliary deflector. A deflector beam was used to push debris out of the way
The main engineering room primary purpose was to be the center point for control of our engineering
system aboard the starship especially those related to propulsion and power generation.
Located at the bottom of the ships are the anti-matter storage pods. The pods were
used to magnetize self-contained storage the unit which was used to fuel the starship.
Next to the pods are the tractor beam or stabilizing beam
The beam was used by the Enterprise to control the movement of an external object
At the back of the ship is the shuttle bay or the hangar deck and the shutter craft maintenance room
the shutter bay served several important purposes its primary function was to provide a launchpad
and a landing area for the fleet shutter craft including the Enterprise 2 shuttle
The shuttle bay also acted as a storage and maintenance facility
where the shutter craft could repair, refuel, and fitted.
At the top of the vessel is the warped coil and the plasma injection system. This warp
coil conducts mass level plasma from the ship's antimatter reactor which makes warp drive possible.
The vessel can hold approximately 431 officers and
crew and has a warp speed of 10 or 6,395 times the speed of light.
The USS Enterprise NCC 1701 was a 23rd-century federation constitution class starship operated
by Starfleet, it was also the first ship to bear the name enterprise with this registry.
