Everything we know about what happened to the USS Enterprise-E

At the end The movie “Star Trek: Generations” in 1994, The tried-and-true USS Enterprise-D crash-lands in Veridian III after colliding with a sneaky Klingon ship. The ship is damaged beyond repair, and the crew walks away, completely unsentimental about the ship’s destruction. They were just happy to be alive. In the 1996 follow-up film, “Star Trek: First Contact,” the same crew was assembled aboard the all-new USS Enterprise-E, a Sovereign-class ship that was slightly smaller, but faster and better armed. The crew remained aboard the Enterprise-E during the events of 2002’s “Star Trek: Nemesis,” the fourth and final film starring the characters from “Star Trek: The Next Generation.”

The Enterprise-E was also badly damaged at the end of Star Trek: Nemesis, although it appears it can be repaired this time. After the events of “Nemesis,” the ship continues its mission with Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) in command. She will have to continue without Riker and Troy (Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis), who have married and moved to the USS Titan. Worf (Michael Dorn) also became an ambassador, and Data (Brent Spiner) died.

The Enterprise-E would not be mentioned in any “Star Trek” (canonical) sources until an episode of “Star Trek: Picard” 21 years later. In the episode “Võx” (April 13, 2023), it is revealed that Geordi has been collecting old pieces of the Enterprise-D and Reassembled in his space garage. Gordy (LeVar Burton) suggests they use D for a mission, as E has become unusable for an undisclosed reason. Everyone looks to Worf, who quickly contributes, “That was it no “My mistake.”

Funnily enough, this is the only information viewers get regarding the fate of the Enterprise-E. We know that Worf had something to do with its destruction or disappearance. But what really happened to the Enterprise-E? We may have some clues we can follow from an episode of “Star Trek: Prodigy,” and confirmation from one of the show’s writers.

Hostility to Season 1 of “Star Trek: Miraculous” He was an evil Palpatine-like slave owner called the Clairvoyant (John Noble) and his scheme was incredibly complex. His planet was visited by Starfleet, who offered them a quiet place in the ever-expanding galactic community. But this offer threw his planet into a violent civil war that killed most of the population. As revenge, the Diviner went back in time, found a Federation super-ship called the USS Protostar, and hid a malicious computer virus on board.

The virus spreads through communications between ships, infecting the ship’s weapons systems, forcing it to target other Starfleet ships. At the end of the first season of “Prodigy,” the show’s heroes return the Protostar to Federation space, not knowing until almost too late that the Diviner virus is on board. Several Federation ships gather around the protostar and the virus begins to spread. Starfleet ships start attacking each other. Several explosions begin.

In what seemed like a wink to Trekkies, the Enterprise-E was in the fray. This fits within the timeline of the Star Trek film series, with Nemesis set in the year 2379 and Prodigy set approximately in the year 2384. Oona McComack’s unconventional novel ‘Star Trek: Picard’ is ‘The Last Best Hope’ Picard left the Enterprise-E in the year 2381 and gave command to Worf, although these events are not confirmed in any of the on-screen canons.

Fan theory, though (Covered in the reverse article), it is assumed that Worf was not in command of the Enterprise-E, But from the newly rebuilt USS Defiantwas also seen roaming the apocalyptic “Prodigy” fire among Starfleet. Worf had previously piloted the Defiant in “Deep Space Nine,” so it was logical to assume that he would also command the Defiant in “Prodigy.”

The Defiant is seen firing at the Enterprise-E, causing a large amount of damage. If Worf was the captain of the Defiant, and his ship – while under the influence of the Diviner virus – destroyed the Enterprise-E that day, well, Worf would have every reason to be defensive in “Star Trek: Picard.” It was no His mistake.

Of course, as “Deep Space Nine” fans know, the Defiant was destroyed in the year 2375, and was replaced by a Defiant-class ship called the USS São Paulo, but it doesn’t take much imagination to see the new ship being renamed the Defiant in honor of the old one. In fact, in “Star Trek: Picard” the new Deviant was seen It is preserved in the Spacecraft MuseumSo it’s plausible that the Defiant will be present in the events of “Star Trek: Prodigy.”

in Facebook group called “Star Trek S***posting”, One fan put forward the theory that Worf was on the Defiant ship and that it blew up the Enterprise-E. One of the writers of “Star Trek: Prodigy”, Aaron J. Waltke, who was a member of the group, replied (jokingly) that “this is the law.” Inverse reached out to Waltke for further clarification, and he responded with the following comment:

“There are some things we know to be true, in the mystery surrounding Worf’s fate and… Enterprise-E. First, Picard is no longer a team leader project During the Romulan evacuation (as seen in “Star Trek: Picard”). secondly, Defiant She was present on Gamma Serpentis in the battle with the Living Construct (in “Prodigy”), where she lost control and destroyed other Starfleet ships. A fleet of Sovereign-class ships were damaged or destroyed there, incl USS Sovereign And the ship looks suspiciously like Enterprise-E“.

Some non-canonical sources make the Enterprise-E continue beyond the events of “Prodigy”, most notably in List of Instagram posts dubbed “The Picard Logs”. These records indicate that the Enterprise-E was on a mission as late as 2386 and that Worf was in command at the time. No further details were given, other than Worf returning from that mission and the Enterprise-E not returning.

However, these Instagram posts don’t quite fit into Trek canon as much as they fit into the “Prodigy” connection.

It’s just a theory, but it’s a good idea.
