U.S.S. Enterprise-C

A Starfleet warship operating under Federation authority, the U.S.S. Enterprise-C functions as a frontline exploratory and defensive vessel with a formal naval hierarchy (captain, bridge officers, engineering teams). In the processed material the crippled ship sustains catastrophic battle damage, suffers heavy casualties, and becomes the focal point of triage, evacuation decisions, and a mission-critical sacrificial action to restore a disrupted timeline. The Enterprise-C acts as an allied asset to the Enterprise-D and as the moral and tactical catalyst for decisive command choices.
