BRIEFING: U.S.S Enterprise-B

HISTORY The third Federation starship to bear the name U.S.S. Enterprise.

During her routine maiden voyage under Captain Harriman, the starship received a distress call from two El-Aurian transport vessels caught in a strange, mysterious energy ribbon. Kirk, on board as an honored guest, assists in the rescue and in freeing the Enterprise, now caught in the temporal field. He is successful, but as the Enterprise pulls away, the ribbon suddenly strikes the starship, tearing a large gash through the hull and leaving only debris where Kirk was working.
