[edit] History
Enterprise (NX-01) was the first NX class starship built. Constructed in orbit above Earth, the Enterprise featured the first warp five engine, as well as one of the first transporters certified to transport biological material. The ship was launched in 2151 under the command of Captain Jonathan Archer to transport the Klingon courier Klaang back to Qo'nos. Due to the early launch of the Enterprise several systems - most notably the weapons systems - had not yet been completed. These weapon systems were completed in the field at a later date. (ENT episodes Broken Bow, Fight or Flight, and Silent Enemy).
With a series of successful early missions, Starfleet decided to proceed with building further NX class ships. In 2151 three more NX class ships were in the early design stages. Construction was proceeding on the unnamed NX-02 in 2153 when the Xindi attacked Earth. The ship, later named Columbia was completed in November of 2154 and launched under the command of Captain Erika Hernandez. (ENT episodes Fortunate Son, The Expanse Home, and Affliction)
