10 Star Trek Events OTOY & The Roddenberry Archive Should Explore Next

8. The Last Flight Of The Enterprise-C

With the recent Section 31 streaming movie, Rachel Garrett has been re-introduced to audiences. She was referenced in Star Trek: Picard's third season, but her last full appearance, which was also her first, came in Yesterday's Enterprise. Tricia O'Neill originated the role of the first female captain on a ship named Enterprise - only to be killed off halfway through the episode.

Little is known about the Enterprise-C's history, save for its ending. While there is a lot of power in only knowing about a heroic sacrifice, we confess ourselves a little unsatisfied with what we've got. The Ambassador-class ship, introduced in the form of the C, is also criminally underused in Star Trek.

Sela's story in Redemption Part 2 confirmed that there were survivors from the ship, including Tasha Yar. A depiction of the Battle Of Narendra III, featuring Denise Crosby returning to the role, would be a gift for Trekkies and Trekkers everywhere. She was notably absent from the Picard reunion in 2023 (though she was not forgotten). Showing us the last cruise of the Enterprise-C, as well as the return of Denise Crosby to the franchise, would be a fitting way to mark The Next Generation's fortieth anniversary, which falls in 2027.
