Unknown Service: circa 26th century Captain:
Unknown The "Azati Prime"
episode of Star Trek: Enterprise involves time
travel and features a scene in which this Enterprise is briefly
shown.
The Enterprise-J operates in one possible version of the 26th century,
with a diverse crew that includes members of the Xindi race. The ship, along with a fleet
of other Federation vessels, fights and defeats the Sphere Builders at the Battle of Procyon Five
(depicted in the episode Azati
Prime). Crewman Daniels brings Captain Jonathan Archer forward
from the 22nd century so that Archer can witness the battle. Archer subsequently
works with the Xindi in the 22nd century to defeat the Sphere Builders earlier
in history.
The Enterprise-J is featured in the 2005 Ships of the Line
calendar that features images of the various starships seen from Star Trek
throughout the years, as well as in the Ships of the Line book released
in 2006. The Enterprise-J is also seen in the "Ships of the Line" poster
released in the Star Trek Magazine issue #1.
