Revision as of 17:50, 24 August 2011
The ECS Horizon was a J class freighter commissioned in 2102, of the Earth Cargo Service under the command of Paul Mayweather.
History
In 2126, Travis Mayweather was born aboard the Horizon halfway between Draylax and Vega colony. (ENT: "Broken Bow", "Fortunate Son")
The ECS Horizon's bridge
In 2141, the Horizon encountered a Deltan ship. Travis Mayweather, who was fifteen at the time, described the Deltans as very attractive and very open. (ENT: "Bound") The Horizon once came under attack by Nausicaan pirates; it barely escaped in one piece. (ENT: "Fortunate Son")
In January 2153, the Horizon was attacked by the same pirates that attacked the ECS Constellation many weeks prior. Travis managed to upgrade the ship's plasma cannons by connecting them directly to the ship's impulse engines. This, combined with Travis's expert piloting skills, allowed the Horizon to withstand the attack. (ENT: "Horizon")
Among the planets visited by the ECS Horizon were:
- Earth
- Draylax
- Both of the Teneebian moons
- Trillius Prime
- Vega colony

Appendices
Background information
The Horizon made only a single appearance, in "Horizon".
According to a deleted scene from "Fight or Flight", the Horizon made a two light year journey from a planet called Livinius to another called Belarn Prime when Mayweather was a child. The trip took the freighter almost nine months. The deleted scene can be found on ENT Season 1 DVD.
Although the capabilities of this vessel vastly limit its travel radius (not taking into account possible upgrades to its engines in the future), it has been suggested that this vessel may be the Horizon that discovered the planet Sigma Iotia II in 2168. This is believed, in part, due to the fact that the dialog from "A Piece of the Action" never clarified the origins of that Horizon, outside of being an Earth starship. Interestingly, this connection to TOS was not lost on the set decorators of Enterprise – in "Horizon," a hard-bound copy of a book beginning with the title Chicago Gangs can be briefly glimpsed on a bookshelf in Travis' quarters aboard his old ship.
Studio model
The CGI model of the Horizon was designed by John Eaves and built by Brandon MacDougall at Eden FX. [1]
Apocrypha
The Enterprise novel Kobayashi Maru states the ECS Horizon was the ship that visited Sigma Iotia II as mentioned in "A Piece of the Action". In the episode, it was stated that the Horizon came "from the same outfit as" the USS Enterprise, but it was never specified if that "outfit" was Starfleet or another Earth agency. Information on that specific vessel can be found at Horizon. The fate of the Horizon was unclear; by the end of the book it was deemed missing and presumed destroyed by Romulan action.
