Spoilers 31st/32nd Century Ships Revealed

[Vale]

This is a good example. The station was only moved once, and inside the system, and was at risk of breaking apart during the event. That sets it apart from any starship and defines the Nor-class as space station.

We actually see it moved twice – in "Q-Less" it's drawn towards the wormhole by the gravitational anomaly of the week, and while it's not under its own power we definitely see it moving during that episode. And of course it must have moved itself back to its usual position in time for the next episode, although it's possible it did that with assistance from starships.

Exactly. It's a typical space station that has limited moves. Like the 21st century Human station ISS at Earth. Whereas the Pax class can warp, impulse and reposition itself with ease.

Well there goes my head canon that it was the first of the new shipyard starships. It's an old one!

Well, no. The artist's intent was for it to be an old ship they refitted, like the Discovery. Hence the low registry number. Except that goes against the 32nd century rationale of adding a suffix letter to a ship they refitted, like the Discovery. And it was never used as that old ship, as the artist mentions. It was used as a completely different ship, the Credence, although the low registry number survived.

I choose to believe it was a new ship, and that 32nd century Starfleet has gone back to using 4 digit registries because they were getting into the 300,000's and they were becoming too high.

 

[thribs]

They should do what car registries did in the UK. Just go the other way. A-1701 instead of 1701-A

 

[F. King Daniel]

Someone on Tumblr called them "Rayman ships" and now they'll always and forever be that

My head canon is that when it lands on a planet it turns into a battle mech

So the Roddenberry Archive notes a Starship Enterprise possibly existing in the late 32nd Century, in accordance with others about the ambiguity of Saru's lines.

As mentioned in Star Trek: Discovery - “Stormy Weather” (TV, 2021)
In the fourth-season episode of Star Trek: Discovery, “Stormy Weather,” Saru gave a status update to Captain Burnham about Starfleet investigating a subspace rift left behind by the Dark Matter Anomaly (DMA). Saru casually mentioned that, on encountering subspace rifts, "Enterprise noted heated plasma." This could, of course, refer to past iterations of the ships, but the lack of firm confirmation leaves it open to interpretation that a contemporary Enterprise exists in the 32nd century.

Heck yeah!

 

[IMC Headquarters]

Yikes! It's held together by rubber bands!

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Naw, it's gotta be duct tape.

So of course the captain would have to be Red Green.

Personally I think DS9's Frankenfleet had more thought put into the designs. The Enterprise J looked like a future Starfleet vessel - these look like people just doodled for an afternoon and nobody talked to each other...

 

[Kamen Rider Blade]

Heck yeah!

If this Enterprise-P turns out to be true, then Enterprise-J would be the largest Enterprise by far and more proof that future iterations of the USS Enterprise does go down in size.

I made this image using STO, imagining the P (P like Picard) blew up in the Burn. The next would be Captain Saru's Enterprise-Q - because Q always follows Picard!

I also like to think that the Federation may have had a golden age from the late 25th to the mid-28th century, with the large Universe-class Enterprise as pinnacle. It's all downhill from there.

 

[Dukhat]

The way Starfleet goes through Enterprises, it would probably be the DD by this point.

 

[Skywalker]

Yeah. They went through four Enterprises in a century (NCC-1701, -A, -B, and -C) and have now gone through four more (-D, -E, -F, -G) in less than forty years.

Let's hope the Enterprise-G lasts a good, long while.

 

[shivkala]

Let's hope the Enterprise-G lasts a good, long while.

I don't think we get an exact year for the Enterprise-J, but we know it was in the 26th century. So they have to go through G, H, and I between 2402 and 2599/2600 (let's not get into that debate). Let's say the J is mid-26th Century, there's a good chance the G will last a while, seeing as how that's only 4 ships in 150 years compared to 7 in ~140 years.

Assuming there's no long gaps between Enterprises, as there was between the C and the D (roughly 20 years if we go from the C's destruction in 2344 and the D's commissioning according to the second dedication plaque in 2263), it does bode well for a long service record for the G.

 

[IMC Headquarters]

Maybe they need less reckless Captains in the future to get better mileage out of their starships Enterprise...

 

[Markonian]

The Enterprise-J is so grand, it would be a shame it if it didn't last a full century.

 

[C.E. Evans]

With the current powers that be, twenty years, tops.
