After the Enterprise is destroyed by the villainous KrallвЂ™s swarm ships in Star Trek Beyond, a brand new vessel is constructed at the Yorktown starbase with the familiar registry of NCC-1701-A. The addition also happened in the Kelvin timeline.

But its sister ship, the USS Jenolan - which appeared in the aforementioned episode вЂњRelicsвЂќ - has the registration NCC-2010, with the only commonality being that they are the same design, albeit with a vertically-flipped orientation. Likewise, the USS Nash, as seen in several Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episodes, has the registration NCC-2010-5, which is odd in itself. Some ships have also been given erroneous registries in the Next Generation episode вЂњWhere Silence Has Lease,вЂќ Riker names the USS YamatoвЂs registry as NCC-1305-E, while the number stated in schematics and logs in the episode вЂњContagionвЂќ is NCC-70817. The movies Star Trek Generations and Star Trek: First Contact introduced Enterprise B and E, respectively, while the Star Trek: Enterprise episode вЂњAzati PrimeвЂќ first showed us the 26th-century Enterprise-J.

Interestingly enough, the series would also introduce the 1701-C in the beloved third season TNG episode вЂњYesterdayвЂ™s Enterprise.вЂќДЄcross the franchise, this tradition has mostly been kept to the lineage of the Enterprise. By the time I joined the production staff in February 1987, it had already become the Enterprise-D.вЂќ вЂњFor a little while, that became the Enterprise-G.

вЂњEarly notes for Star Trek: TNG listed the ship as the starship Enterprise-7,вЂќ he says. Okuda went to work on The Next Generation after The Voyage Home. Originally they had denoted their Enterprise as NCC-1701-7, but after The Voyage Home, the Galaxy-class ship ended up with NCC-1701-D.

Harve Bennett was said to have written the 23rd-century portion of that script (with Nicholas Meyer responsible for the 20th-century segments).вЂќДЄmusingly, while this was happening in ParamountвЂ™s movie division, their TV branch was in pre-production on the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation, which was set on another USS Enterprise a century later. Longtime Trek designer Michael Okuda made his franchise debut on Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home and tells me via Twitter DMs, вЂњThe first I heard of the вЂњAвЂќ registry number was in the script for Star Trek IV. The history of how this happened is somewhat fuzzy, but most people go along with Gene RoddenberryвЂs suggestion that they grabbed the nearest identical spaceship - according to him, that was the USS Yorktown - and rechristened it to differentiate from the previous vessel.

As the ship is revealed, the camera switches to a close-up of the saucer to focus on the alphabetical addition to the famous registry number, which now reads вЂњNCC-1701-A,вЂќ the spaceship equivalent of a license plate. And chances are youвЂ™ll also remember the end of the subsequent picture, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, where the crew is given a factory-fresh starship as a reward for saving the Earth. If youвЂ™ve seen Star Trek III: The Search For Spock, youвЂ™ll remember the spectacular sight of the USS Enterprise exploding above the planet Genesis after being set to self-destruct by a desperate Admiral Kirk. No bloody A, B, C, or D.вЂќ says a tipsy Captain Montgomery Scott in the 1992 Star Trek: The Next Generation episode вЂњRelics,вЂќ but what exactly does he mean? And does it have anything to do with the latest episodes of Star Trek: Discovery that introduce an upgraded version of its titular vessel with a spanking new вЂњAвЂќ added to its registry? Stay with us as we learn a bit more about the alphabet, Starfleet-style.
