CC98001 Corgi Star Trek – USS Enterprise NCC-1701 [Refit] (The Wrath of Khan). Buy online at Flying Tigers.
Following her five-year mission of exploration under the command of Captain James T. Kirk, the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 returned to Earth. Kirk was promoted to Admiral and handed command to Captain William Decker, who oversaw a dramatic modernisation refit.
Essentially a complete rebuild over the skeleton of the ship, the vessel that emerged after 18 months of work was larger, sleeker and more powerful, and Starfleet retroactively deemed the refit an entirely new class of ship – the Constitution II-Class.
Weeks away from the refit completion, the U.S.S. Enterprise was launched early to respond to the V’Ger crisis, again under Kirk’s command with Decker demoted to first officer. The following events saw the reunion of Kirk’s previous command crew but the loss of Decker.
By 2285, 40 years after she was first launched, Enterprise had been relegated to use as a training vessel. Now commanded by Captain Spock, the ship left on a training cruise with Kirk aboard to observe but was soon attacked by Khan Noonien Singh.
Subsequent events saw the death of Spock and the formation of a new planet when Khan detonated the stolen Genesis device inside a nebula. Kirk and his senior staff stole the Enterprise to return to the Genesis Planet and recover a resurrected Spock, but the ship was attacked by a Klingon Bird of Prey.
Out of options, Kirk lured the Klingons aboard the Enterprise and set the auto-destruct sequence. The most legendary of Federation starships ended her career burning through Genesis’ atmosphere, though her crew successfully rescued Spock and stole the Klingon Bird of Prey to return him to Vulcan.
