ISS Enterprise (NCC-1701)

The ISS Enterprise (NCC-1701) was a battle cruiser that was in service to in the mid-23rd century. 
== Service history ==
The Enterprise was built at shipyards associated with San Francisco, California. (, dedication plaque)
Sometime prior to 2267, took command of the Enterprise through the assassination of Captain . Kirk then ended the Gorlan uprising by taking the ship to the rebel homeworld and destroying the planet. Shortly afterward, the Enterprise visited Vega IX where Kirk had five thousand colonists executed.
In 2267, the Enterprise was on a mission to the Halkan homeworld to secure the Halkans' submission to the Empire, in the form of mining rights to the dilithium crystals on the planet. With the Halkan refusal, the landing party consisting of Kirk, CMO , Chief Engineer , and Communications Officer were transported back to the ship through an ion storm that was in the area. The landing party that rematerialized was from another in a parallel universe. ()
=== Prime universe ===
Eventually, the Terran was killed for trying to make reforms and the Enterprise crew mutinied and escaped with the help of Kelpien slave turned rebel leader, . The crew took refugees with them who were trying to flee the mirror universe for the prime universe, creating a plaque commemorating their story on stardate 32336.6. The ship successfully crossed into the prime universe, but became stuck in a pocket of interdimensional space through a wormhole in Tzenkethi space, possibly after a battle that damaged the ship, forcing the crew to flee in the escape pods and shuttles. Before leaving, the crew ejected the intermix chamber from the warp drive and erased all of the captain's logs. ()
In the late 24th century, the Enterprise was visited by Dr. Carmen Cho. She was a junior science officer aboard this ship who had later joined the Federation Starfleet and become a branch admiral. During her visit, she hid her clue to the Progenitors' technology amongst the possessions that had been left behind onboard by her and the other refugees. ()
 
In 3191, the Enterprise was found by Moll, L'ak, Michael Burnham and Cleveland Booker in their search for the next clue to the location of the Progenitors' technology. By this time, the entrance to the wormhole had been destabilized by the Burn, making travel to and from the ship hazardous. Moll and L'ak found the clue first, but a confrontation between the two groups activated a containment field in sickbay, forcing the four to work together. However, Moll's attempts to short out the force field overloaded the impulse engines and fried the nav system, sending the Enterprise on a collision course with the wormhole's unstable aperture. With the shuttle knocked loose, Burnham and Booker took control the ship, oscillating the tractor beam through the aperture in a signal to the on the other side. The Discovery was able to find a way to force the aperture open completely for 60 seconds and drag the Enterprise through before the wormhole collapsed completely. After the Enterprise returned to normal space, Moll and L'ak escaped in a Terran warp pod with life support equipment from sickbay for L'ak's severe injuries.
After the Enterprise was freed and its systems repaired, Burnham had it flown to a storage facility at the by a team led by Lieutenant Commanders Keyla Detmer and Joann Owosekun. Checking the crew manifest against Federation databases, Burnham discovered that at least most of the crew had survived and found new lives in the prime universe. ()
Commander Paul Stamets had scans of the ISS Enterprise taken prior to its transfer to Federation HQ which showed no signs of any other parts of the clue onboard that Burnham, Booker, Moll and L'ak might've missed. ()

=== Background information ===
The producers wanted to show the ISS Enterprise orbiting clockwise rather than the normal counterclockwise motion of the regular version. However, the Enterprise model was only built to be filmed from one side, as the other housed supports and wires and was not detailed. The effects crew ended up using a shot where the registry decals had been redone in reverse, and "mirroring" the film (reversing it) after the model was shot.
The Federation heavy cruiser was almost identical in configuration to the ISS Enterprise of the 2260s, bearing the same registry, NCC-1701. Externally, the ISS Enterprises warp nacelles were also of a different design, containing pointed bussard collectors at the front and vented plasma ducts at the rear of the nacelle. In some ways, this nacelle design was similar to that used in the prime universe during the 2250s. ()
Additional minute details included the dagger emblem of the Terran Empire on all doors, as well as the rear wall panels of the transporter chamber, and agony booths to keep the crew in line. The use of armed soldiers in the corridors and agonizers was also commonplace. 
The "remastered" version of "Mirror, Mirror" featured a new, computer-generated version of the ISS Enterprise. While generally faithful to the original, the new version featured correct ISS markings and a darker, gunmetal gray hull coloration, as well as features reminiscent of the two-pilot episode shooting models, such as a larger bridge dome and deflector shield and antennas in front of the engine nacelles.
=== Apocrypha ===
As depicted in the Star Trek: Mirror Universe The Sorrows of Empire, Spock murdered the mirror Kirk and thereby assumed the captaincy of the ISS Enterprise almost immediately after the events of "Mirror, Mirror". It was refitted in the 2270s (just as in the prime universe) and served as Spock's flagship until he became emperor in 2277. He was succeeded as captain by the mirror universe of Kevin Riley, who was in turn succeeded by the mirror of Saavik when Riley was promoted to the admiralty in 2287. Whereas its primary universe counterpart was destroyed in 2285 as shown in , the ISS Enterprise survived until the conquest of the , the successor state of the Terran Empire, by the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance in 2295.
In the fourth issue of the comic Star Trek: Discovery - Succession, set in 2257, the ISS Enterprise is briefly shown in the epilogue as the current captain of the ship comments about the shocking state of affairs that saw the Terran Empire move through four emperors within a span of weeks, ending with taking the throne. The current captain of the Enterprise is not revealed but does imply that Spock is their first officer.
In the comic Star Trek: Hell's Mirror, Kirk sacrifices the ISS Enterprise including much of his bridge crew in order to gain the trust of , who is acting as the new rebel leader opposing the Empire.
