USS Enterprise: Constitution II Class — Warp 12 Cruiser (2215)
After completing three years of its last five year mission, the much-used Enterprise was returned to Earth dry dock, where it has recently completed extensive refitting and uprating. From one-third better engine performance to warp-powered phasers, from improved medical facilities to faster turbo-lifts, the refitted Enterprise has solidified its position as flagship for the UFP Star Fleet.
