The starship Enterprise, NX-01, is the first ship built by the newly-formed Starfleet that is capable of real interstellar travel. The Enterprise is the first ship built with the Warp 5 engine, allowing humans to travel faster than they could before. Enterprise was launched from earth in 2151 under the command of Captain Jonathan Archer, on a mission to send injured Klingon Klaang back to his homeworld. Starfleet soon decided that Enterprise should continue her mission to seek out strange new worlds.
NX-01 is comprised of a saucer-shaped primary hull and a relatively small aft section with two small strips that connect the two warp pylons and nacelles to the rest of the ship. Since there is no secondary hull (like the ones to appear on future Starfleet ships), the main deflector dish is housed on the forward section of the saucer. The shuttlebay lies on the underside of the saucer towards the aft. The ship has less than 10 decks and a crew compliment between 80-90. The ship has all standard starship features such as a bridge, main engineering, sickbay, mess hall, quarters, and a small transporter pad.
