  Ships of the sea that have been called "Enterprise" date back to before the year 1705, when Britain captured a French vessel called L'Enterprise. Seventy years later...

    Eighty-eight years after humans achieved warp speed flight in April of 2063, Earth launched its first starship capable of reaching Warp 5. Earth's Starfleet commissioned this vessel as Enterprise with a registry number of NX-01. Enterprise was launched in a April 2151 with Captain Jonathan Archer in command. During it's first year of service, the ship's crew has made first contact with a half dozen species, notably the Andorians. During that first contact, the ship's crew revealed that the Vulcans were using a sacred shrine as a listening post against the Andorians. On 9 February 2152, Enterprise achieved Warp 5, while on a mission to deliver a Vulcan ambassador back to Vulcan. In March(?) of the same year, the crew of Enterprise believed that they caused the death of 3600 Paraagan colonists. Upon further investigation, the crew determined that the Suliban were involved in the colony's destruction. Enterprise was attacked and captured by the Suliban, but the ship and it's crew escaped by faking a warp core breach.

   Approximately a month later, Enterprise was approaching a planet to enter orbit when it struck a cloaked mine. The ship was heavily damaged by the mine. A second mine had attached itself to the ship, but was later removed from the ship as well as the piece of hull plating that it was attached and detonated. While an attempt to disarm the mine was taking place, an unknown vessel appeared in the minefield in Enterprise's flight path. The ship, along with the mines, were later identified as Romulan. Enterprise escaped before being fired upon by two Romulan ships. After four days of repairs, Captain Archer decided to send out a general distress call. The call was answered by a Tellarite freighter, which directed them to an automated repair facility. The facility performed three months of repairs in about a day and a half. Unfortunately, the crew had to destroy the station after repairs were completed, after the station captured Enterprise's helmsman, Ensign Travis Mayweather.

In early 2153, Enterprise was retrofitted with enhanced hull plating and photonic torpedoes to search for the spieces that attacked Earth, killing seven million people.

Upon returning to Earth, it is discovered that the ship and crew have travelled through time to the year 1944 and World War II. Events of World War II had been altered by a group of time-traveling aliens, lead by Vosk, who are one of several factions in the Temporal Cold War. Former crewmember Daniels, a member of another Temporal Cold War faction, caused the Enterprise to be in this time period to prevent Vosk and his faction from returning to the 29th Century. Captain Archer, who had not been killed aboard the Xindi weapon, and his crew successfully prevent Vosk's return to the future, partially restore the timeline and return to their own time, moments after the destruction of the Xindi weapon. Enterprise undergoes major repairs while Captain Archer is debriefed concerning events during the mission in the Delphic Expanse. Enterprise's Vulcan Science Officer T'Pol and Chief Engineer Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker visit Vulcan, while there T'Pol marries her fiance.
Arik Soong's children, now grown, capture a Klingon Bird-of-Prey. Soong is released from prison to assist in their capture, under the supervision from Archer and Enterprise. Soong escapes while at an Orion slave trading post, rejoining his Augments and attack Cold Station 12 to retrieve more embryos. Enterprise arrives but is unable to prevent the escape of the Augments and Soong. Prior to their escape, an Augment named Malik steals bio-toxin from C-12. Malik replaces his "father" as commander and locks Soong up in his quarters. Soong escapes with assistance and notifies Archer that Malik intends to attack a Klingon colony with the bio-toxin. Enterprise successfully prevents the colony's destruction, the Bird-of-Prey is destroyed with most of the Augments on board, Malik is killed by Archer aboard Enterprise. Soong is returned to prison where he begins his pursuit of cybernetics and artifical lifeforms.
