As evidenced by the first draft script of VOY: "Flashback", the Enterprise-D was originally to have been referenced in that installment, in connection to what Geordi La Forge had witnessed aboard the ship. All mention of the vessel was excised from the episode by the time the final draft of the script was issued.

They need to be correctly explored in the article's content to be correctly implemented. --Gvsualan (talk) 13:05, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

Renewed Service

The article lists a year of renewed service after Picard. At first it seems odd that that scene was a year later (with everyone in the same clothes) but the hull damage appears fully repaired. I'd love the ship to have more service but it seems like it took Geordi a year to finish the refurbishment before making it a formal exhibit?– The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ryanpfw (talk • contribs)

I doubt it.--WarGrowlmon18 (talk) 23:54, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

I'd think - especially since it subsequently took damage while fighting the Queen's cube - on top of everything else, including the port nacelle cover, among other things, a year to get it fully ready for display seems reasonable. We don't know much about the interior - in the fly-by we can see 10 Forward is kitted out with seats, but replicators may need work, they probably still need to decorate the interior, repair the damage from the fight with the Queen's cube, clean the atmospheric scorching from the rim of the saucer (visible in several shots), as well as Geordi mentioning that there was "a ton of hull work left to do". It was more likely returned to the Fleet Museum after the battle and restoration and repair was finalized over the next year. --WTRiker (talk) 05:42, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

2401 crew?

Should we be including 2401 in the "command crew" section? They weren't assigned to the ship at that point, the roles they took were in some cases shifting and informal, and at least three of the people weren't even in Starfleet at the time. I suggest we omit them from this section entirely; if it's really important to note that Deanna moved to the Conn station for a minute or Geordi briefly sat in the captain's chair it can be addressed in the body of the article. Disco McCoy (talk) 14:46, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

There really is no benefit to it...they were, for all intents and purposes on a joyride, and quite frankly there is generally too much value placed on someone sitting in a captain's chair for 5 minutes, or a taking the conn for 3 minutes...and referencing it as an permanent role versus actually being assigned to the position in an official capacity. –Gvsualan (talk) 14:53, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

That is an excellent point. I'm also removing the references to the Enterprise-D "returning to service" in 2401, since that doesn't accurately reflect the situation. –Disco McCoy (talk) 22:55, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

Purple Enterprise

This does not belong here and should be its own article. ‐ Yaroze86 (talk) 01:23, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

Why? How is it different from any of the quantum reality Enterprises from "Parallels"? -- UncertainError (talk) 04:47, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

It is clearly not a Prime timeline extension like say Cause And Effect (episode) nor the Veridian III where it was the Prime timeline and was clearly changed. This timeline is closer to a separate one more so like the Kelvin universe and the Mirror universe. I don't actually understand why people get their own article, but a ship does not. Actually, with the greater abundance of Alt timeline should we revisit this. Edit: It also clearly a continuation and active timeline like the Kelvin and not one that was erased when events changed. ‐ Yaroze86 (talk) 13:01, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

Is your position that all the alternate Enterprises from "Parallels" should get their own articles? Also, only characters from the mirror universe and Kelvin timelines get their own articles because those are special cases. All other alternate universe characters get put in the main character article, the same as ships. -- UncertainError (talk) 20:05, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

UEF Enterprise gets its own dedicated page. No for "Parallels" as it appears to be a split from the Prime timeline. Looks like I am wrong on policy on this..... Though if they are active timelines, should they be getting their own articles under let's say Data (Parallel universes) and USS Enterprise (Parallel universes)? I can understand if they are from a timeline that spit from the main timeline but were closed due to evens from the Prime timeline like 90% are (i.e. Cause and Effect and All good things). But if they co-exist with the Prime timeline and are not closed then my though was, they should have their own articles. That appears not to be the case. I will request that page to be deleted but honestly it doesn't feel right as it's an active timeline. In all honesty the whole parallel universe, Alternate timeline, Alternate reality really needs a rework on MA. ‐ Yaroze86 (talk) 23:48, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

In the same vein, do we know for a fact that the Purple Enterprise is still active in 2382 of its own native timeline? Obviously, it crossed into 2382 of Prime Timeline, but that does not mean that it originated from 2382 as there seems to be a time component to Quantum fissure anomalies. In the original Parallels (episode) Data states "That is one possibility. However, the uncertainty principle dictates that time is a variable in this equation. You may end up several days before the event or several days after. There is no way to tell." When that episode ends, we see that Worf has traveled back several hours to the start of his journey. Additionally, in the latest Fissure Quest (episode) we see that the crew of The Anaximander have been pulled from several different time periods. And if time is synced in all of the quantum realities then Lily Sloane would be nearly 300 years old, far older than we've ever seen for a human being. WjHarness (talk) 08:54, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

I am kind of agreeing with you. We cannot pinpoint the exact time of the Purple-prise. But I also think that Lily Sloane is from around the area of 2140/2150's era and would only be more so over 100 years old or so. It hard to place though because of her uniform and Zeph building the ship with her. Though we know Zeph was alive in the 2260's if I remember correctly. ‐ Yaroze86 (talk) 12:31, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
