What is the class of Jonathan Archer's Enterprise NX-01?

NX class. The class of the Enterprise NX-01 is mentioned twice in the episode "Fortunate Son" - first by Travis Mayweather and then by Captain Archer. The Siron class is a Vulcan vessel, but I made up the other two myself, just to throw you off, heh heh heh...

Which of the following pairs of classes are the most similar to each other?

Miranda and Soyuz. The Soyuz class (such as the USS Bozeman, in the Next Generation episode "Cause and Effect") can be thought of as merely a refit Miranda class.

Which class of starship has the greatest number of warp nacelles?

Prometheus class. The Prometheus class has six warp nacelles - two for each of its three sections, although only four of them are visible when the ship is intact. The Constellation class has four nacelles, the Niagara class has three, and the Oberth class has two.

The alternate future Olympic class vessel (such as the USS Pasteur shown in the Next Generation episode "All Good Things...") shares similar design elements to which early starship class?

Daedalus Class. It has a spherical "saucer" section to the Daedalus class - a ship which has never actually appeared in an episode as a ship. It appears as a model in Captain Sisko's office on Deep Space Nine, but otherwise it has merely been spoken about. Examples of Daedalus class ships are the USS Horizon, the USS Essex and the USS Archon.

Which of the following classes of ships made its sole Star Trek screen appearance as wreckage following the Battle of Wolf 359 in the Next Generation "Best of Both Worlds"?

Freedom Class. The Akira and Norway classes made their first appearances fighting the Borg in the movie "Star Trek: First Contact", and as I've mentioned before, the Daedalus class has made no screen appearances to date. The Freedom class (and also the Niagara class) makes its sole appearance as wreckage. It has one warp nacelle.

Some fans don't like how the Enterprise NX-01 looks - it seems to be too futuristic. Which 24th century ship class does it resemble?

Akira class. They do look pretty similar - have a look some time.

Each of the following are the names of Constitution class ships. Which name has NOT been seen since as a vessel of a different class?

USS Republic NCC-1371.

The Hood appears in the episode "Tin Man", among others, and has registry number NCC-42295. The Potemkin appears in "Ethics", and has registry number NCC-18253. Other names of Constitution class vessels which show up again on other classes include the USS Defiant, the USS Constellation, and of course the USS Enterprise.

Which of the following of Deep Space Nine's runabouts was never destroyed in the entire run of the series?

The USS Shenandoah was abandoned after being attacked by the Jem'hadar - its crew, Jake and Nog, transferred to the USS Valiant.
