The USS Enterprise XCV 330 is a starship (or spaceship) in the Star Trek universe. Its image appears in Star Trek: The Motion Picture among a chronological series of illustrations depicting previous ships named Enterprise. A painting of a ship from the same class is on the wall of Earth's 602 Club circa 2143 in the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "First Flight”, suggesting that this Enterprise (or perhaps the Declaration, q.v.) was Earth’s first warp two-capable starship. The Star Trek Spaceflight Chronology gives this ship the class name Declaration, with a launch date of 2123. With Earth's national registry prefixes (British HMS and Russian VK) still in use up to the founding of the Federation (2161) it is probable that USS still means United States Ship in the same timeframe (the USA was still around before 2161). If so, that would make this an American starship. (see Talk page for a list of references) Design-wise, the XCV 330 differs greatly from all other known Earth starships. It is composed of a long, narrow central shaft surrounded by two large rings. At the front of the shaft is an enlarged "bridge" area. Its design is reminiscent of the Vulcan starships depicted in Enterprise.
Starship The ship was originally designed by Matt Jeffries during the early pre-production stage of Star Trek. After the show was cancelled, the design was considered for use in a planned, but never produced, sci-fi television series by Gene Roddenberry. The show may have been called Starship. Gene Roddenberry's imagination brings you "Starship". The vessel of the future as only he could picture it. This could be the forerunner of a new TV series, a Starship operated by an enormous computer which is a lifeform itself. Each human on board is a genius, a highly trained science specialist, part of a team of Galactic trouble shooters. A brand-new concept in future space travel. We also have three different views of the Metatransit system, side elevations of the systems analysis unit, and the Metaflier section of the Starship. Imagine yourself on a mission in space aboard this luxury cruiser. You’ll be spellbound! —from Majel Barrett’s Lincoln Enterprises catalog. | ||||||||
