Icarus (NCC-1701/3)


 * For other articles of a similar name see Icarus.

The Icarus was a class F shuttlecraft assigned to the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) in the 2250s.

In 2254 Captain Christopher Pike took the Icarus to journey to Earth after receiving a report his father was critically ill. Unfortunately the message was faked - a trap by Pike's Klingon nemesis, Kaaj, who wished to seek revenge for a blood debt between the two. The Icarus was attacked by the, Kaaj's command. The Klingon's planned to disable the shuttles engines and tow it in, however they mistargeted and Pike was able to avoid them, albeit damaged and crash land on a planet in the system.

The Icarus was severely damaged in the battle, atmospheric re-entry and crash landing. It is not known whether the Enterprise later recovered it.
