USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A (commissioned 2286CE) is a Constitution class starship in the fictional Star Trek universe. James T. Kirk, Spock et al. get a new ship in , and use it for the next two films. It is rumoured that the ship was originally the USS Yorktown NCC-1704, and was rechristened to Enterprise NCC-1701-A after the Probe incident in Star Trek IV. However, the only basis for this was a comment by series creator Gene Roddenberry, and no solid evidence has ever been provided about the ship's history prior to that film.

In the ship was dispatched on a mission to rescue hostages, despite being not operational. It was then hijacked by the Vulcan renegade Sybok, who took the ship to a mysterious planet, where God was supposedly found. After a short while there, the crew were caught off-guard by some Klingons, and they caused minor damage before being called off.

In the next film, , the ship encountered a Klingon ship that could fire while cloaked (this had been previously impossible). It suffered major structural damage before being able to track and destroy the Klingons. This damage, combined with the age of the design caused it to be scrapped thereafter.
