Enterprise was launched from Spacedock in 2151 under the command of Captain Archer. The launch was some three weeks before schedule, to transport Klaang to Kronos after his crash on Earth. Enterprise is 190 meters long and masses 80,000 metric tonnes, with a crew of 82. ("Strange New World" [ENT]). She is equipped with polarized hull plating for defense. Offensively, Enterprise mounts laser cannons, plasma-charged artillery, and torpedoes. While Enterprise has two shuttlepods for away team transportation, she also has a transporter approved for bio-transport, though it is rarely used. ("Broken Bow" [ENT]).
