Mission
The NX-class refit
cruiser has the same
mission as the original NXclass, save that it packs
more firepower and
defensive capability into
the same frame.

Features
The NX-class refit introduced a host
of new and updated systems to the NX-class
frame, including an enhanced hull
polarization grid, photonic torpedoes, a
universal translator update, and a new
command center.

Background
United Earth very quickly learned
that the Vulcans were correct, humanity
was not entirely prepared for the dangers
of interstellar travel. In the first two years
operation of the NX-class, Starfleet
gathered valuable reconnaissance on the
threats to Earth and its assets. An analysis
of the original design specifications of the
NX-class proved its vulnerability to many
enemy capital ships, and even fighters. The
shock of the Xindi attack on Earth prompted Starfleet to step
up its plans for refitting the NX-class, and the Enterprise
herself was the first recipient of the new upgrades, with the
Columbia being the first NX-class starship designed with the
upgrades from the get-go.
