The ENTERPRISE That Never Was - Star Trek Explained

A secret Enterprise? Nope, just the NX-01 Enterprise Refit that sadly was never seen on-screen in a Star Trek series, yet! Trek Central's Captain Jack beams down to talk all about the NX-01 Refit-class which was designed by Doug Drexler, who designed the original NX class featured in Star Trek Enterprise.

Star Trek: Enterprise, originally titled Enterprise until Season 3, is the sixth series set in the Star Trek universe. Created by Rick Berman and Brannon Braga, and based upon Gene Roddenberry's classic 1966 Star Trek (and its subsequent spin-offs), Enterprise was a prequel set a century before the time of Kirk and Spock.

20 years since Enterprise. I feel old. A totally underrated tv show.

[kaliek]

Its nice that Picard actually gave some love to the NX-01 Refit. It appears in a few background shots, especially in Episode 9. Its in the background, but its undeniably the NX-01 Refit.
Also appears in S2 as a toy! So hey...20 years later...she finally made it onto our screens <3

[joelcrafter]

It still realllly sucks that the show got cancelled, it was a good show.

[nleavenworth]

I'd seen it before, if we had a 5th season it would have been there. She's a great looking ship and shows the evolution of Starfleet vessels

[jonathonspears]

Way to make me feel old. You said it aired 20 years ago and I'm like "what do you mean that was like 2 years ago??"

[vfdavis]

I really liked this series. However, it had the worst series finale ever.

[Moonbeam]

The refit looks so great. I wish we would have seen it on the show.

[Bassistking]

I remember when this was designed for the “Ships of the Line” calendar.

[LeoHL]

A new series based on 20 years after Enterprise would actually be quite a good direction to go, you could have all this in it, a new crew of the NX-01 refit, and have the actors come back in roles such as Scot Bakula as the first federation president.

[gsr]

I always liked ST:Enterprise. Still do. I like it's slightly less "techno babble" content and focus on character development.

[DoctorX]

I love the NX-01, and this refit is indeed the perfect step towards the Constitution design. I like that they left the original deflector on there!

[EugenioAngueira]

It would have been so cool to see this upgrade design on the series. Something that could have happened had the show lasted 7 years.

[rdcards]

A perfect time to have upgraded the nx-01 would have been after season 3 and the start of 4 when the ship was so badly damaged, could have had it refit as part of its repair, would have been amazing to have seen it on screen, always enjoyed that show

[AdamCollings]

I like the look of it, and it is a natural and logical mid-way point between the NX class and the Constitution class, but I feel if they'd used it on the show, it would have been too soon. There's still 100 years before The Cage.

[brianjones]

Well damn I’m old... in my brain this show was only ten years ago. Ugh... time is a relentless bastard!

[ericg]

I play STO, and love the NX Refit, using the type 0 skin material, which is the standard TOS era look. It's a great ship to fly.

[JaelaOrdo]

20th anniversary, damn I remember watching this show when I was a kid. Weirdly feels like just yesterday. Enterprise is definitely my 2nd favorite Trek show, after DS9.

[gobbletegook]

I remember back when I used to read the paperback novels for STAR TREK...that they would always explain or talk about things that I never say in regards to continuity in future shows or movies. As an example...they talked about how, every 20 years, the ships would be updated. They talked about "modular" designs of sections-- where entire things like the bridge module could be removed, replaced, and or updated in space docks to keep the technology current.

[douglasmiller]

The refit looks great, the saucer looks better sitting on the center nacelle rather than stuck out on the pylon.

[TCTurner]

🥺 20 years!! Unpopular opinion, but still my favourite Trek, and all-time favourite Archer quote "You have no idea how much I'm restraining myself from knocking you on your ass!"
Might also be a suitable time for a certain other NX video? Wink, nudge 😁
