History According to the non-canon ''Lost Era'' novels, the Enterprise-C was launched in 2332 under Captain Rachel Garrett's command. In the year 2344, Romulans attacked the Klingon outpost at Narendra III. The Enterprise, under Garrett's command, answered the distress call. The Enterprise engaged the Romulans, but found herself facing four warbirds. An exchange of fire between the Starfleet ship and the Romulans catalyzed the formation of a Kerr Loop, disrupting the fabric of the space-time continuum. The Enterprise travels through the loop into the mid 2360s, creating an alternate timeline in which history records that the Enterprise-C went missing, the Romulans destroyed the outpost and the Federation is losing a war with the Klingon Empire. Displaced in time, the Enterprise-C encounters the Enterprise-D. The latter manages to repair most of the earlier ship's damage and treat its injured crew, 125 of which have survived. Influenced by the time-sensitive Guinan, Captain Jean-Luc Picard persuades Captain Garrett to return through the disruption, hoping that the sacrifice of one ship in defense of the Klingon outpost will prevent the war. Garrett is killed by a Klingon attack before the ship can restore the timeline. The surviving crew, under the command of helmsman Lieutenant Junior Grade Richard Castillo, along with that timeline's Lieutenant Tasha Yar, take the ship back into the disruption. This act returns the Enterprise-C to Narendra III in 2344 at the moment she had previously disappeared. As hoped, the ship's sacrifice was instrumental in maintaining good will between the Klingon Empire and the Federation. The Romulans captured several Enterprise-C survivors, about which Starfleet heard unconfirmed rumors. Tasha Yar was one such survivor, and she went on to bear a Romulan general's child, Sela. Yar is killed when she attempts to escape with Sela when Sela is four. (TNG: "Redemption, Part II") Notes | ||||||||||
