Enterprise D Tapestries
Description: The USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) was a 24th century Federation Galaxy-class starship operated by Starfleet, and the fifth Federation starship to bear the name Enterprise. During its career, the Enterprise served as the Federation flagship and was in service from 2363 to 2371. The Enterprise was built at Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards orbiting Mars in the Sol system. The construction was a massive undertaking, involving thousands of people across disciplines. (TNG: "Booby Trap", "Eye of the Beholder") Construction was supervised by Commander Quinteros. Dr. Leah Brahms was responsible for much of the Enterprise's warp propulsion system design.
Description: Everything from its size to its mission makes the USS Enterprise-D unique. Meant for long journeys, the starship is quite a bit larger than similar Starfleet vessels because crew members can bring their families to live onboard during their travels. Capable of carrying up to 6,000 people, the vessel is frequently described as a marvel of engineering and design.
