The U.S.S. Enterprise, NCC╨1701-D, is a Galaxy class starship built at
the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards above Mars. It was commissioned in 2363, and
is currently under the command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard. This latest
starship to bear the name Enterprise is Starfleet╒s flagship and has already
distinguished itself in an impressive number of significant missions of
exploration, as well as in several crucial incidents defending the security of
the Federation.
Seen from a comfortable distance of two or three kilometers, the
starship takes on the graceful lines of a nonrepresentational organic
sculpture. Nature has determined the flow of the design, adhering closely to
mathematical formulae at work in the universe surrounding the builders.
Even in the desire to expand beyond the apparent limits of the natural world,
familiar forces create familiar shapes. As the rapid aquatic and avian
creatures of dozens of habitable worlds independently developed the
unmistakable attributes of streamlining, so too did their interstellar cousin. ╞
