The Starship Enterprise NX-01 was launched by the United Earth Starfleet in 2151 under the command of Captain Jonathan Archer prior to the founding of the United Federation of Planets in 2161. The first NX-class starship and the first vessel fitted with a warp five engine, the ship was crucial in establishing United Earth as a legitimate interstellar power.

Starship Enterprise NX-01 Bridge | Deck 1 (2155)

The bridge of the NX-01 was circular with a heavy emphasis on function over aesthetic. The captain’s chair was centrally located, with the helm station positioned forward of the captain at a lower elevation. Several duty stations surround the outer edges of the bridge, such as the science and communications stations on the port side, as well as the security and engineering stations on the starboard side. The situation room at the rear of the bridge served as an informal briefing room for senior staff.

This configuration of the bridge of the NX-01 was seen in the fourth season of Star Trek: Enterprise, incorporating changes made to it throughout the previous seasons. In addition to the more subtle updates in color and detailing, the bridge was most notably given a new captain’s chair, additional control panels and monitors featuring updated animations, and blinking LEDs integrated into the various duty stations.
