USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-A)

USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-A) was a Federation starship, Constitution-class, during the late 23rd century. The second Starfleet ship to bear the name, Enterprise was christened shortly after the destruction of her predecessor, USS Enterprise (NCC-1701). The senior crew of that ship, including Captain James T. Kirk, were reassigned to the Enterprise-A.

In 2287, Enterprise-A was ordered to Nimbus III to deal with a hostage situation. (movie: Star Trek V: The Final Frontier)

In 2293, Enterprise-A was to escort Klingon chancellor Gorkon to Earth for peace talks, before the chancellor was assassinated. The ship and crew later played a key role in uncovering a conspiracy and preventing the assassination of Federation President Ra-ghoratreii at Camp Khitomer. (movie: Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)

Shortly thereafter, on stardate 9523.1, Enterprise-A was ordered decommissioned.
