*The pride and flagship of the Federation, the U.S.S. Enterprise is a Galaxy class starship. Commissioned by Starfleet at the Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards (in orbit around the planet Mars) on October 4, 2363, this is the fifth starship to bear the name. The U.S.S. Enterprise is approximately 2108 feet long, weighs over five million metric tons, and boasts a complement of around 1,012 people -- including crew, mission specialists, their families and children. The primary mission of the U.S.S. Enterprise is research and diplomacy, but when a show of strength is unavoidable the ship is capable of enormous defensive power. Captain Jean-Luc Picard commands the ship, which continues the mission set out by the original starship U.S.S. Enterprise, to "boldly go where no one has gone before." *Source: Back of card
