Where Did the Enterprise-F Come From?
The newest Enterprise is only really new to TV. It’s actually been around since 2011, in the world of Star Trek Online. The MMORPG, set in its own imagining of the early 25th century—a period where the Federation is beset by multiple rival factions in conflict, from a renewed war with the Klingons to battles against the likes of Voyager’s Species 8472 or the remnants of the Romulan Empire after the events of the 2009 Star Trek movie—ran a competition to ask fans to design a new class of cruiser to be added to the game. That class would ultimately also become the design for the newest version of the starship Enterprise.
