Description
"We all try to live according to our principles, but we cannot control whether history will remember us as heroes or villains. Sometimes those of us who take the boldest actions in support of our beliefs are destined to be remembered as both."---Samuel A. Kirk, The Forgotten Enterprise (2190)
The sad and hidden history of the Forgotten Enterprise (AGC Vol'Rala AGC-7-10) is a tale of tragedy and loss. Her story and the events in history she stood a part of created the 100 year gap between the NX-01 Enterprise and the naming of the Constitution Class Enterprise... and the reason the Prime Directive came to exist in the first place.
For those of you who dont know, Vol'Rala is the andorian word for Enterprise. She was part of a joint fleet operation taking down the Ware threat during the rise of the Federation. Her name is forgotten by history, and I feel this is a great loss and tragedy because the noble andorian crew gave their lives to save as many as they could... only to be forgotten due to the mistakes made during the Ware Incursion. If you get the chance, read the Star Trek novel Rise of the Federation: Live by the Code, by Christopher L. Bennett.

One would think ships and crews would start to get smaller. The B and C class ships would be the largest

And I thought I knew every ship with the name Enterprise. Now I have to update my Enterprise Index.

The Vol'Rala was big... bigger than the other ships during that time... she dwarfed the Klingon ships engaging her according to the novel. The Kumari class is 400 meters long, while the NX-01 is a mere 225 meters.

The radical transition from Galaxy to Sovereign is something i'll never really understand.
But great work!

Secretly (In the Shatnerverse at least) there was a Defiant class between the Galaxy and Sovereign class, the USS Monitor.. renamed the Enterprise by both Captain Kirk and Captain Picard.. so to me.. thats official!
