Description
A Starship That Shaped a Generation
From warp drives to transporters, the U.S.S. Enterprise (NCC-1701) gave the world a thrilling glimpse into the imagined future of space exploration in the 23rd century. As a Constitution-class vessel crewed by 428 officers and specialists, the Enterprise became a symbol of interstellar adventure and technological wonder. Her legendary five-year voyage, under the command of Captain James Tiberius Kirk—portrayed by Canadian icon William Shatner—etched both the ship and its captain into science fiction history.
Kirk’s bold leadership and trailblazing spirit led to countless first-contact scenarios, earning him accolades across the galaxy. Known for his unconventional methods and a moral compass that occasionally bends the rules, Kirk consistently chose the greater good over rigid protocol—winning admiration from even his adversaries, as shown in episodes like Balance of Terror. His closest allies, such as Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy and Mr. Spock, were not only trusted crewmates but lifelong friends, drawn to Kirk’s charisma and conviction. Despite numerous romantic encounters, Kirk’s enduring love has always been for his command—and for the Enterprise herself.
Celebrate 50 years of Star Trek—a series that has inspired visionaries, innovators, and dreamers across Canada and the world. Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of that legacy.
