The [[CGI model]] of this ship was designed by [[John Eaves]] and built by [[Rob Bonchune]]. The vessel was referred to by the special effects team as the "Warp Delta."

The model originally started out as the "back end" of the warp ship model seen flying above [[Luna]] during the opening credits of the ''Star Trek: Enterprise''.
 
 
According to Bonchune, "''The [[ENT Season 2|next season]] when we needed some "older" starships (than NX-01), John Eaves went ahead and truly finalized the complete shape as was seen in the episodes. However, since this was considered a more advanced production version, the "back end" old style rocket exhausts were deleted and replaced with more "advanced" 'nurnies' and 'greebling'.''"

Beta Capricus expedition

In 2210, a mission to Beta Capricus was commanded by Harry Kim's Uncle Jack. The long range deep-space exploration vessel was designed to be operated by a single pilot while the rest of the crew was held in stasis. After departing Earth's orbit their starship took six months to reach its destination. Unfortunatley, unbeknownst to Earth researchers, there was no Beta Capricus. What was believed to be a star was in fact just an electromagnetic echo of a distant galaxy. Left with little alternative Jack was forced to turn the ship around and make the trip all the way back to Earth deciding not to wake the crew. Upon the vessel's return from its year long voyage the wakened disgrunted crew was eager to learn why they had not yet left orbit. (VOY: "11:59")

It was not made clear if this was a Starfleet expedition, or if it was chartered by the Earth government.
