REGISTRY NO

The U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 was a Starship­-class vessel (later called Constitution-class) launched in 2245. It was commanded by Captain Christopher Pike from 2250 until 2265. It was the first Federation starship to bear the name Enterprise and one of the most storied vessels in Federation history. In 2254, it was diverted to the planet Talos IV after receiving a distress call from survivors of the crashed S.S. Columbia. The distress call proved to be a ruse devised by the powerful telepathic inhabitants of the planet where they captured Pike and submitted him to severe mental torture. After Pike’s release, the incident led to the establishment of General Order 7, forbidding any Starfleet vessels from visiting the planet.

U.S.S. Enterprise Bridge | Deck 1 (2254)

Located on the first deck of the primary hull, the main bridge of the U.S.S. Enterprise functioned as the ship’s command center. The captain's chair, located in the center of the room, swiveled to allow the captain an uninterrupted eyeline of all control consoles that operated specific areas of the ship. Mounted to the room’s forward bulkhead was a large viewscreen which could show information from the ship’s sensors, including tactical readouts and several viewing angles from the ship’s exterior. Piloting and navigation were carried out at the helm console, directly forward of the captain. Along the perimeter of the bridge were consoles for communications, sciences, engineering, defense, and environmental control. Access to a turbolift was located behind and to port of the captain.

U.S.S. Enterprise Briefing Room | Deck 2 (2254)

The briefing room of the U.S.S. Enterprise was one of several meeting facilities located in the primary hull, used for command briefings and mission planning by the ship’s senior staff and other personnel. Featured a large conference table with a large monitor at the far end, as well a library computer access terminal.

U.S.S. Enterprise Captain Pike’s Quarters | Deck 2 (2254)

Relatively spartan by the standard of later Starfleet vessels, the captain’s quarters on the U.S.S. Enterprise under the command of Captain Christopher Pike were just below the ship’s bridge. That location provided easy access to the ship’s operations center, while offering a convenient place for the commander to work, away from sometimes-frenetic activity of the bridge.

U.S.S. Enterprise Transporter Room | Deck 7 (2254)

Located on Deck 7 in the primary hull of the U.S.S. Enterprise, the transporter room was used to convey crew and equipment short distances for landing party missions, crew transfer, and resupply. The transporter employed quantum-resolution matter/energy conversion transportation technology.

PRODUCTION INFO

Ship Model (Physical)

As portrayed in Star Trek: The Original Series - “The Cage” (Pilot Episode, 1964)

The original Starship Enterprise was conceived and designed by art director Walter M. “Matt” Jefferies. Construction of the actual filming model was supervised by Richard C. Datin under contract to the Howard Anderson Company. The main model of the Enterprise was 11’ long, but was only used for one shot in the first pilot episode, “The Cage,” a dramatic shot in which the camera dollies in towards the saucer, revealing the bridge through a large window. The remainder of the ship shots in “The Cage” were accomplished with a smaller 3’ model that had been built first as a proof-of-concept of Jefferies’ design. The 11’ model was featured more heavily in the second pilot episode, and even more after Star Trek went into production as a weekly series.

Bridge Set (Physical)

As portrayed in Star Trek: The Original Series - “The Cage” (Pilot Episode, 1964) 

Star Trek's first bridge set was constructed for the first pilot episode, "The Cage." It had a color palette of cool and warm gray and was a functional design for interacting with command and support personnel. The placement and height of the captain's chair was lower than later versions and there were ubiquitous video/comm devices on stalks (dubbed “gooseneck viewers”) placed at each bridge station. The basic layout Matt Jefferies established with the design of this bridge set would go on to influence the design of every bridge set appearing in future Star Trek productions.

Briefing Room Set (Physical)

As portrayed in Star Trek: The Original Series- “The Cage” (Pilot Episode, 1964) 

The Enterprise briefing room, as seen in “The Cage” and in the second pilot, “Where No Man Has Gone Before,” was significantly different from the set that was used throughout the remainder of the original Star Trek series. This early set had a generally round shape, leading to speculation that it was envisioned as located in the “teardrop” shaped superstructure on the top of the primary hull, just below the bridge.

Captain’s Quarters Set (Physical)

As portrayed in Star Trek: The Original Series - “The Cage” (Pilot Episode, 1964) 

The captain’s quarters, as built at the Desilu-Culver City facility for the first pilot episode, “The Cage,” featured a round floor plan and a curved back wall, as if to imply that it was located in the “teardrop” shaped superstructure at the top of the ship’s primary hull, just below the bridge. When the Enterprise interior sets were moved to the Desilu-Gower lot, the captain’s quarters set was completely redesigned by art director Matt Jefferies.

Transporter Room Set (Physical)

As portrayed in Star Trek: The Original Series- “The Cage” (Pilot Episode, 1964)

Constructed on Stage 15 at the Desilu Culver Studios for the two Star Trek pilot episodes, this early version of the transporter room did not yet have the iconic control console with the distinctive three sliders. In “The Cage,” the transporter console was a re-use of the bridge helm/navigation console, mounted on a different base.
