USS Endeavour (NCC-71805)

The USS Endeavour (NCC-71805) was a Nebula-class starship that served in the late 24th century.

In 2368 the Endeavour was assigned to the Starfleet blockade force at the Klingon-Romulan border during the Klingon Civil War. (TNG: "Redemption, Part II") Later that year, the ship was assigned to a patrol circuit in the Cleon system. (TNG: "The Game")

Captain Amasov of the Endeavour was at some point involved in a conflict with the Borg sometime prior to 2371. After the battle, Amasov reflected, "...It is my opinion that the Borg are as close to pure Evil as any race we've ever encountered." (VOY: "Scorpion") In 2373, the Endeavour faced the Borg at the Battle of Sector 001. (Star Trek: First Contact)
 * Many fans (and the Star Trek Encyclopedia) speculate that the engagement referred to in VOY: "Scorpion" was the Battle of Wolf 359, and that the Endeavour was the sole ship to survive the assault intact. However, there is no direct evidence for this, aside from the fact that Janeway had to have been referring to an encounter that took place before Voyager was transported to the Delta Quadrant. In fact, it was never specified if Endeavour was part of the battle, since she was simply quoting Amasov's words, and did not note in what position or where he was when he faced the Borg.


 * Named for HMS Endeavour, specifically, HM Bark Endeavour commanded by Lieutenant James Cook in his voyage of exploration in the Pacific from 1768–1771, for which the later NASA space shuttle Endeavour is also named--hence the British spelling.
