Canon Excerpt That Explains The Enterprise

[Tom]

Star Trek 2009 Canon Excerpt about the Enterprise

The Constitution class was conceived by a team of designers led by Janice Newfield, a brilliant engineer and visionary. The project was at the conceptual stage in 2232 and was targeted to have working products in 10 years time. While working on improving the USS Kelvin's engines in 2233, the ship was attacked by an unknown Romulan ship. Janice was killed when a bulkhead near her was destroyed and she was sucked out into space.

When Janice died, the project was put on hold for a decade until a very bright engineering student (who, in the original timeline, many years later, oversaw the Constitution refit) named Tsi Sang helped restart the project submitting his own unique changes that were never included by the original designer, Janice Newfield (this is why the ship is more advanced looking in the movie). The project was restarted in 2244 under Sang's supervision.

The 17xx registry number set was held for the Constitution class, the prototype, the USS Constitution - 1700, tested in 2252 had many issues, while most were resolved a structural support issue could not be, so the ship was decommissioned in 2253. Sang resolved the structural issue and all the other issues and Starfleet decided to build the next Constitution (1701) on Earth where it could give the structure better gravity stress tests.

Starfleet was so impressed with this new ship that they made the first one (The Enterprise) the flagship and assigned veteran captain Chris Pike as it's commander. The Enterprise was so new in fact, that only few Starfleet personal were trained in her systems. Realizing this, Starfleet Academy started to train its students on these new systems in 2257, so by 2258 many of the older academy students could be a part of the Enterprise's crew.

According to Janice's logs it was always her intention for the first production Constitution to be named the Enterprise after the famous pre-Federation ship from the mid 22nd century. Starfleet did, respectfully, name the first production ship (1701), Enterprise even though Sang wanted the name to be The USS Yorktown.

"Excerpt from what?" would be the obvious question here.

Star Trek 2009 Canon Excerpt about the Enterprise

It's only canon if it's on screen. Even one of the ST 2009 writers, Roberto Orci, has reaffirmed that.

That's a pretty silly little chronology in any event.

[Cdr MacDuff]

Enterprise as a parallel alternate reality starts its own new canon.

 

[Islander]

This is getting ridiculous. I'm waiting for the Wayams brother spoof Canon:The movie.

 

[Tom]

The canon police are chasing my car, better pull over before people's heads explode.

 

[TheMadCloner]

It is well known that the Enterprise was built by Apple.

Just the upper decks, the lower ones were build by Budweiser to serve as a 'Budweiser Classic' brewery. :P

Where is that text coming from?

I second! where is that Excerpt from?

This is getting ridiculous. I'm waiting for the Wayams brother spoof Canon:The movie.

You mean Canon Movie?

Don't give them any ideas, please.

I'm being dead serious. They'd make that movie, and it'd be another waste of time and money.

Last year I proposed an idea I call 'Scifi Movie' to some people in the industry I know, basically a spoof film of various scifi franchises, many were surprised it had not been done yet by someone. Heck you can also add spoofs other things like the scifi channel changing ts name to syfy and other funny aspects of fandom as well.

It's not the Wayans brothers you need to worry about; it's Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer.

 

[miraclefan]

Again I ask, were was that excerpt from?

Here's how I feel about Star Trek canon.

You feel it's like a 403 error?

 

[theFirebottle]

Bah, lying host lies like a lying thing. That's not a public link, it's a 403 Forbidden error lurking in wait to pounce on someone desiring to see my masterful image macro!
