USS Endeavour (NCC-1895) Constitution-class

 Star Trek:  Wand'ring in Star-Flight

Constitution-class

As this game is set during the Next Generation Era, the old Constitution-class ships of the Original Series are considered lost legends to live up to rather than present resources.

There are three Constitution-class ships I am interested in.

  • One is the original inspiration for a similarly-named legacy Galaxy-class ship in the current game year.
  • One is a Constitution-class ship that mysteriously disappeared and, no doubt, will return for a adventure involving the PCs.
  • And the last is the one remaining active Constitution-class ship, part of the Remembrance Fleet.

I will start with the first example:


USS Endeavour
NCC-1895
Comissioned: 2250
Shuttlecraft Theme:  Shuttles are named after souls encountered on the travels of all previous Endeavours.
Dedication Plaque:

"And I read the moral A brave endeavour To do thy duty, whate'er its worth, Is better than life with love forever, And love is the sweetest thing on earth."

— James J. Roche, Sir Hugo's Choice.

Division Insignia:  Stylized ship's sail in gold with black trim, large enough to display specific division insignia.

Timeline:

2250:  USS Endeavour commissioned.
2265:  Endeavour loses half her crew in battle.  She is towed back to Earth to spend time in drydock.
2266:  Endeavour is given 'celebration' duty, crewed with species discovered during the other Constitution-class vessel's explorations (particularly the Enterprise). 
2271:  Endeavour undergoes major refit (essentially entering the era of the movies)

This is the Endeavour in the year 2270, one year before her major refit (after the events of the Original and the Animated Series).  Link to PDF.


I can't find who made this beautiful work of art and I would love to give them credit.
