Mission

The NX-class refit

cruiser has the same

mission as the original NX-

class, save that it packs

more firepower and

defensive capability into

the same frame.

Features

The NX-class refit introduced a host

of new and updated systems to the NX-class

frame, including an enhanced hull

polarization grid, photonic torpedoes, a

universal translator update, and a new

command center.

Background

United Earth very quickly learned

that the Vulcans were correct, humanity

was not entirely prepared for the dangers

of interstellar travel. In the first two years’

operation of the NX-class, Starfleet

gathered valuable reconnaissance on the

threats to Earth and its assets. An analysis

of the original design specifications of the

NX-class proved its vulnerability to many

enemy capital ships, and even fighters. The

shock of the Xindi attack on Earth prompted Starfleet to step

up its plans for refitting the NX-class, and the Enterprise

herself was the first recipient of the new upgrades, with the

Columbia being the first NX-class starship designed with the

upgrades from the get-go.
