In the original pitch for Star Trek: The Original Series by creator Gene Roddenberry, the vessel that the series was set on was called the SS Yorktown.[2] The starship was subsequently renamed USS Enterprise before the start of the series because of the growing real world fame of the world's first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, recently launched by the U.S. Navy as the USS Enterprise (CVN-65).[3] The name Enterprise has been linked with Star Trek since. A second Enterprise made its debut in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home(1986), suffixed NCC-1701-A.[4] The fourth version was introduced in a third season episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation entitled "Yesterday's Enterprise".[5] That series was set on the fifth version of the vessel, prefixed NCC-1701-D.[6] The missing third Enterprise, prefixed NCC-1701-B, was introduced in Star Trek Generations (1994).[7]

Following the end of Star Trek: Voyager,[8] which had been used to launch UPN,[9] they were seeking a new Star Trek series. The network contacted Rick Berman during the fifth season of Star Trek: Voyager,[10] and informed him that if he didn't develop a new Star Trek show then they would find someone else who would.[11] Berman had previously been an executive producer on Voyager,[12] and other series dating back to The Next Generation.[13] Berman contacted Brannon Braga, and the two became the executive producers on the new show.[11] The new series launched after the end of Voyager, but was set some 150 years before the events seen in The Original Series. The new series was originally called Enterprise, without the Star Trek prefix. UPN president Dean Valentine said that "Paramount felt it was no longer necessary. Enterprise is synonymous with Star Trek".[14] Berman's idea was to set it in an earlier time period, with limited technology such as the ship only being able to travel up to warp 5,[15] as he felt that after three series being set in roughly the same time period it would be exciting for the fans.
