Launched
in 2245, the original and illustrious Starship U.S.S. Enterprise
NCC-1701 was built in the San Francisco Yards orbiting Earth.
Previously captained by Robert April and Christopher Pike before
coming under the command of Captain James T. Kirk.
The Starship underwent several refits, most notably in 2270, involving an upgrade of most systems and the replacement of the bridge and warp-drive nacelles.
Shortly before its decommissioning in 2285, the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 was destroyed by James Kirk when threatened by Klingon capture.
