The ''Enterprise''-J's exterior was seen only in the background in the form of graphics on a computer screen. A [[CGI model]] of the ship was built by production illustrator [[Doug Drexler]]. According to [[Robert Bonchune]], "''From what I understand, it was done quick and dirty, so was not really detailed in any way like a model we would use in multiple shots.''" [http://www.hobbytalk.com/bbs1/showpost.php?p=1380811&postcount=48] Drexler himself explained, "''With two days before a production meeting [I had] to think fast and not obsess… especially since I wanted [Production Designer] [[Herman Zimmerman|Herman [Zimmerman]]] to be able to show a rendered animation of the ship in flight [....] If we had a few weeks, it would have finalized differently. As it was, the model was bashed out in a matter of hours.''" [http://drexfiles.wordpress.com/2010/06/27/enterprise-j-sketchbook]

One concept for this type of ship that came under consideration was the ''Altair''-class, which had previously been submitted (without being approved) for both the {{USS|Voyager}} and {{NX|01}}. Doug Drexler recalled, "''I would sleek it somewhat, and rebuilt it in Lightwave. No luck that time either (although the engines would end up on the approved J ship).''" [http://drexfiles.wordpress.com/2009/02/12/if-at-first-you-dont-succeed] A computer-animated sequence showing the exterior of this design while in spaceflight was generated while the idea of using it as the ''Enterprise''-J was still being considered. (The sequence can be viewed [http://drexfiles.wordpress.com/2009/06/17/altair-class-space-trials here]). [http://drexfiles.wordpress.com/2009/06/17/altair-class-space-trials] Once the approved ''Enterprise''-J [[saucer section]] was mated with the ''Altair''-class wingship, the design became known as the ''Congo''-class, which turned out to be another unapproved runner-up for the eventual ''Enterprise''-J design.

An official class name for this type of ship has not been confirmed, although Doug Drexler approves of "''Universe''-class." [http://drexfiles.wordpress.com/2009/02/16/enterprise-j-search/#comment-1474] He also estimates the length of the vessel as being about two miles. [http://drexfiles.wordpress.com/2009/02/16/enterprise-j-search/#comment-1463] Drexler saw the ''Enterprise''-J "''as a multi-generational vessel, that had large [[park]]s, entertainment zones, and entire [[university|universities]] on board. The ship is so large that [[turbolift]]s would be replaced with site to site [[transporter]]s. [It] had one [[deflector]], recognizably descended from the [[NX class|NX]].

Daniels also revealed that there were Xindi serving on the ''Enterprise''-J. An [[initiation medal]] Daniels gave Archer belonged to [[Xindi Enterprise-J crewmember 1|one]] of these crewmembers. ({{ENT|Azati Prime}})
Set designer [[Lee Cole]] was involved in planning the ''Enterprise''-J's interior, a task she considered "one interesting thing I did." She went on to relate, "''That was really startling when they said 'OK, you're going to do a future ship that goes even further into the future.' We're already in the future, and now you have to think of what the future looks like 400 years ahead of Archer's future! This set looks like a big graphic design because it has all these plant-on panels in very intricate designs and from different sources of inspiration.''" ({{STC|152}}, pp. 42-43) The doors shown in the [[corridor]]s aboard the ''Enterprise''-J appear to be the same used aboard [[Deep Space 9]].

Archer would later reveal to [[Degra]] about his trip to the future and being on board the ''Enterprise''-J and learning that the Xindi were serving aboard it. ({{ENT|The Council}})
Scenic artist [[James Van Over]] contributed to the design of the ''Enterprise''-J's interior by rendering some on-board graphics. "''We needed futuristic monitors, and Jim Van Over did some wonderful video for those,''" remembered Lee Cole. "''I had circular monitor screens in different shapes, and when he put his stuff onto the television monitors it was quite a trick to get them to line up. But the finished product was amazing&ndash;his radiuses fit exactly inside my radiuses.''" ({{STC|152}}, p. 43)

"You're on Enterprise. Enterprise-J to be exact, a distant relative of your ship. We're four hundred years in the future."
– Daniels, to Jonathan Archer, 26th century ("Azati Prime")

The USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-J) was a 26th century Federation Universe-class starship operated by Starfleet in a possible future. (ENT: "Azati Prime")

History

USS Enterprise-J corridor

Observation deck of the Enterprise-J

The Enterprise-J participated in the historic Battle of Procyon V, wherein the forces of the Federation successfully drove the Sphere-Builders back into their trans-dimensional realm.

In 2154, as Captain Jonathan Archer of Enterprise NX-01 was preparing to undertake a suicide mission to destroy the Xindi weapon in the Delphic Expanse, Temporal Agent Daniels transported Archer to an observation deck aboard the Enterprise-J to witness the battle, while the vessel was in a trans-dimensional disturbance. It was Daniels' hope that Archer could be convinced to abandon his suicide mission and attempt to make peace with the Xindi, informing Archer that, without him, the Federation would never come into existence and the Sphere-Builders would remain unopposed. Archer was unconvinced, however, and demanded that Daniels return him to his own time.

Daniels also revealed that there were Xindi serving on the Enterprise-J. An initiation medal Daniels gave Archer belonged to one of these crewmembers. (ENT: "Azati Prime")

Archer would later reveal to Degra about his trip to the future and being on board the Enterprise-J and learning that the Xindi were serving aboard it. (ENT: "The Council")

Doug Drexler's Enterprise-J

Since the Star Trek: Enterprise writing staff was pressed for time, little time was spent deliberating over the name of this vessel. Manny Coto later reflected, "We were just sitting around the room and said, 'What should it be?' 'J.' 'OK.'" (Star Trek: Communicator issue 152, p. 50)

Apocrypha

The 2005 Star Trek: Ships of the Line calendar later featured a specially created, fully rendered image of the Enterprise-J in flight.

The Enterprise-J appears in Agents of Yesterday, the third expansion to Star Trek Online. After pursuing the Temporal Liberation Front (made up of the Sphere-Builders, the Na'kuhl, the Vorgons, and the Krenim) throughout time and space, the player characters travel to the 26th century to defeat them at the Battle of Procyon V. With the aid of Starfleet legends (and temporal agents) Montgomery Scott and Pavel Chekov, the player installs the Tox Uthat onboard the Enterprise-J, which allows it to destroy the Sphere-Builders' spheres and dissipate their Expanse in the Procyon system. The captain of the ship is a female joined Trill, a future host of the Dax symbiont.
