Star Trek: Picard: Analyzing All The Ships From Season One
16. USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D
The first ship to appear in Star Trek: Picard is appropriately the one that started Picard on his journey over 30 years ago: The Galaxy-class USS Enterprise, NCC-1701-D.
The D appears in the first minutes of the series in the dream sequence that opens "Remembrance" and later as a holographic tribute at Starfleet Headquarters in "Maps and Legends". She's a welcome sight after her last on screen appearance in the less than stellar Star Trek: Enterprise series finale "These Are the Voyages..." in 2006.
While Picard would go on to command the USS Enterprise-E in Star Trek: First Contact through Star Trek Nemesis and (according to the Star Trek: Picard Countdown comics) the USS Verity after that, the Enterprise-D will always be Picard's most famous ride.
