Smaller than Kirk’s Enterprise, the NX-01
is the first starship built by Earth (by Captain Archer’s father in fact).
A computer generated ship I assume to be created by Foundation Imaging
who worked on Star Trek: Voyager as well. Also see our photo page for shots
of the interior and more.
Specifications:
Registry Number: NX-01, Starfleet
Crew Compliment: 87
Length: 190 meters
Weight: 80,000 metric tons
Armaments: The Enterprise
is equipped with laser cannons, hull-retracting plasma charged artillery
turrets, and spatial torpedoes.
Defensive mechanisms: No
shields, only equipped with retractable polarized hull plating.
Shuttlepods: The Enterprise is equipped with
shuttlepods, each carrying six passengers and a pilot. They are launched
using a magnetic arm, which lowers them through bomb bay doors below the
hull of the ship and then releases them. Used for ship to shore, ship to
ship, and ship to station transportation. Capable of sub-warp speeds only.
Replicators: The Enterprise stocks regular foodstuffs but has primitive replicators, or protein resequencers, that can produce limited items like pasta and beverages.
Transporters: No bio-filters. Crewmembers must decontaminate themselves in a Decon Chamber with phosphorescent gel. Transporters are only used for cargo, through human transport will be pioneered during the first season.
Communications: Long-range
communications only possible while at warp. Intra-ship communications through
touch panel only. Away teams will carry communicators with primitive universal
translators in them.

ST: First Contact which the new Enterprise was based on.
