USS Enterprise (Declaration class)

The USS Enterprise was a space-liners of the early 23rd century, operating within the Federation.

It was the first of the Declaration-class, intended specifically to travel the main Federation space routes between major member worlds, such as Earth–Alpha Centauri. It began service in 2123 SFC (c. 2195).

Background
Spaceflight Chronology based the class on an image originally designed by Matt Jefferies during the early pre-production stage of Star Trek. After the show was cancelled, the design was considered for use in a planned, but never produced, sci-fi television series by Gene Roddenberry. A portrait of the ship later appeared in Star Trek: The Motion Picture, as the USS Enterprise (XCV-330), which Star Trek Maps developed as the Starliner and UESP and other sources have since referenced.

The Declaration-class and thus this USS Enterprise therefore appear very similar to the Starliner and the UESP Enterprise/USS Enterprise (XCV-330). However, it has a very differently shaped nose-section to the original image.
