The USS Endeavour (NCC-86105) is a Sovereign-class starship commissioned in 2386 under the command of Captain Benjamin J. Byrne. She is the third starship to bear the name, though the three ships were not named after each other, but rather the Earth NASA space shuttle of the 20th and 21st Centuries and as such do not share a registry number. The ship was one of the first to be assigned to Admiral Sanchez's newly reformed 11th Fleet, and only the second Federation starship to have contact with the Metrons, after the USS Enterprise under Captain Kirk.

History

Construction and Launch

Originally designed to combat the threat of the Borg and the Dominion, the Sovereign-class was built to include all of the latest advancements in offensive and defensive technologies. She proved she was worth the effort, with the USS Enterprise-E helping to defeat the Borg in the Battle of Sector 001, and the Dominion War won with the help of the powerful warhorses.

Now the Federation is at peace once again, but the Sovereign class starships still have a purpose to serve. As a magnificent achievement of Federation engineering, and a powerful assurance of safety in supreme firepower and shielding, they serve as a powerful symbol to bring back the confidence and sense of security the Federation's citizens had lost in recent years.

That is why Sovereign class starships are still being produced today, and the USS Endeavour is one of the latest of all of them. Named after the ancient sailing ship of the Royal Navy on Earth and the NASA space shuttle that followed it, the Endeavour is the third Starfleet ship to bear the name, though each has its own individual registry number. Assigned to the Eleventh Fleet and captained by Commander Benjamin Byrne, the Endeavour was launched in 2386, and has one of the widest mission profiles of any ship in the fleet, giving her also one of the most public profiles of the ships in the fleet, with the hopes that it can complete the critical mission that the Sovereign class starships now bear on their shoulders.

In Service

After final construction and testing was completed, the USS Endeavour was ordered to travel direct from San Francisco Fleet Yards in orbit of Earth to Cestus III at maximum warp to report to Vice Admiral Roman Sanchez for the ship's first mission. (They Arrive on Tuesday...)

The Metron Consortium had contacted the starbase at Cestus, and had expressed an interest for official contact with the Federation, though they had only supplied a set of coordinates and a timeframe for the meeting. Eager for diplomatic relations with such an advanced race, Starfleet decided that the Endeavour would be sent, as the starship assigned to the 11th Fleet operating out of Cestus with the most substantial diplomatic facilities, and the ship's crew were given only a short amount of leave time after their long journey from Sol before they set off again - this time with the Admiral himself onboard for the mission.

The Metrons had planned a test for the crew of the ship, which sent them to a distant galaxy, and directly into the crossfire of two species at war with each other, and very violently opposed to coming towards the peace table. Though the crew was successful in concluding the exact test the Metrons set out for them - begin to bring a peaceful end to the conflict - they were deemed to have failed by the Metrons, as they were not able to do so without the first talk breaking into violence between the two warring parties. Though humanity and the Federation were determined to the Metrons to still be a barbaric people, Admiral Sanchez retorted that it was the Metrons who had been barbaric in this instance, in the sheer nature of the test they implemented. (Metronian Diplomacy)

After a short stop over at Starbase 332, the vessel was assigned to show the flag of the Federation within the Archaanis Sector - a powerful, multi-role craft like the Sovereign-class was ideally suited to displaying to all groups - friendly, neutral and hostile alike - that Starfleet was still present in the region, and actively looking after the interests of its member and protectorate worlds in the Galactic South. (Shoreleave 1, Starbase 332)

Shortly following this assignment, the ship was sent on a diplomatic run to the Nevarran homeworld with two Federation diplomats in order to facilitate the final negotiations and signing of the first major trade agreement with the Kingdom and any outside world in over two hundred years. The vessel's captain was able to uncover a long-hidden and forgotten chamber deep beneath the planet's archives which contained data regarding what the Nevarrans call their 'dark ages', where few known records had been found.

    History

    HMS Endeavour, also known as HM Bark Endeavour, was a Royal Navy research vessel commanded by Lieutenant James Cook on his first voyage of discovery, to Australia and New Zealand from 1769 to 1771.

    Launched in 1764 as the collier Earl of Pembroke, she was purchased by the Royal Navy in 1768 for a scientific mission to the Pacific Ocean, and to explore the seas for the surmised Terra Australis Incognita or "unknown southern land". Renamed and commissioned as His Majesty's Bark the Endeavour, she departed Plymouth in August 1768, rounded Cape Horn and reached Tahiti in time to observe the 1769 transit of Venus across the Sun. She then set sail into the largely uncharted ocean to the south, stopping at the Pacific islands of Huahine, Borabora and Raiatea to allow Cook to claim them for Great Britain. In September 1769, she anchored off New Zealand, the first European vessel to reach the islands since Abel Tasman's Heemskerck 127 years earlier. In April 1770, Endeavour became the first seagoing vessel to reach the east coast of Australia, when Cook went ashore at what is now known as Botany Bay.

    Endeavour then sailed north along the Australian coast. She narrowly avoided disaster after running aground on the Great Barrier Reef, and was beached on the mainland for seven weeks to permit rudimentary repairs to her hull. On 10 October 1770, she limped into port in Batavia in the Dutch East Indies for more substantial repairs, her crew sworn to secrecy about the lands they had discovered. She resumed her westward journey on 26 December, rounded the Cape of Good Hope on 13 March 1771, and reached the English port of Dover on 12 July, having been at sea for nearly three years.

    Largely forgotten after her epic voyage, Endeavour spent the next three years shipping Navy stores to the Falkland Islands. Renamed and sold into private hands in 1775, she briefly returned to naval service as a troop transport during the American Revolutionary War and was scuttled in a blockade of Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island in 1778. Her wreck has not been precisely located, but relics including six of her cannons and an anchor are displayed at maritime museums worldwide. A replica of Endeavour was launched in 1994 and was berthed alongside the Australian National Maritime Museum in Sydney Harbour during the 21st Century.

    History

    Space Shuttle Endeavour (Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-105) was one of three operational orbiters in the Space Shuttle fleet of NASA, the space agency of the United States, during the early years of the 21st Century. (The other two were Discovery and Atlantis) Endeavour was the fifth spaceworthy NASA space shuttle to be built, constructed as a replacement for Challenger, which was destroyed in a tragic accident. Endeavour first flew in May 1992 on mission STS-49 and was decommissioned in 2011.

    History

    The Endeavour (NX-06) was an NX-class starship in the 22nd century. It was completed sometime in 2156 alongside the Atlantis and put under the command of Captain Shea. The Endeavour had several software improvements that allowed it more protection against attempts by the Romulans to remotely take over the ship. During the the battle of Altair VI, the Endeavour's portside hull plating was melted off through the use of nuclear weapons. During the battle, Commander Goldser was killed during the attack forcing Captain Shea to promote Lieutenant Commander Stephen Reynard to XO. Captain Shea died sometime after the battle and Reynard was made captain.

    History

    The USS Endeavour (NCC-71805) was a Federation starship that was in service during the late 24th century.

    In 2368 the Endeavour was assigned to the Starfleet blockade force at the Klingon-Romulan border during the Klingon Civil War. It was the last ship to clear the drydock prior to the departure of the fleet from Starbase 234. During the initial deployment of the tachyon detection grid, the Endeavour was linked with the USS Ajax, USS Hood, USS Tian An Men and USS Enterprise-D. Later that year, the ship was assigned to a patrol circuit in the Cleon system.

    Captain Amasov of the Endeavour was at some point involved in a conflict with the Borg sometime prior to 2371. After the encounter, Amasov reflected, "...It is my opinion that the Borg are as close to pure Evil as any race we've ever encountered." In 2373, the Endeavour again faced the Borg at the Battle of Sector 001.
