The Last Generation, set in 2401 and 2402, was monumental for historical events in Star Trek. The Borg are finally defeated (until they're not, as usual), the Enterprise-D goes for one last joyride, and the USS Titan-A is rechristened in honour of the former ship's crew. 

As Picard, Crusher, and Jack's shuttle rose through space dock, the Neo-Constitution class ship's new name and registry were revealed: USS Enterprise NCC-1701-G. This symbolic gesture serves to honour the legacy of those who came before, while also serving as wholesome wish fulfilment for a production team who were having the time of their lives. 

Though technically not a new ship, it was a new commission, and as such required a captain (the previous captain having faced the wrong end of a phaser). Seven of Nine, formerly of the USS Voyager, was promoted to captain on the recommendation of Shaw and presented with her pip by her former crewmate Tuvok. 

With Seven in command, Commander Raffi Musiker serving as first officer, and Ensign Jack Crusher there for the ride, this new Enterprise is poised to create a new saga of stories set in the 25th Century. While there is as yet no word on a series focusing on said ship and crew, the audience has already been teased with a certain god-like being popping up on board, though more on that later.
