Beware MAJOR spoilers for season 3 of Star Trek: Picard
Something about my Star Trek fandom that I’ve talked about elsewhere but only ever really hinted at on Tumblr is how and when I first got into Star Trek. Strictly speaking, my first encounter with the franchise was when I would have been about 11 or 12, I think. A TV channel was showing a one-per-week marathon of all the Star Trek movies (Nemesis was out by this point, but 2009 was still a ways off). I was too young to really appreciate it at the time, I guess; I have small memories of seeing bits of Search For Spock, Voyage Home, First Contact and Nemesis during that TV marathon, and I liked it, but I didn’t get that into it at the time. I saw the 2009 movie when it came out, but as someone with only a little bit of Star Trek experience, I simply enjoyed it as a summer blockbuster and moved on with my life.
But then around 2011, a friend on Steam messaged me asking if I liked Star Trek - apparently some online game had just gone free-to-play, and the friend wondered if I was interested in trying it out. Since I had a passing familiarity with the movies and remembered enjoying them as a kid, I figured why not and then my whole life changed forever.
Star Trek Online was (and still is) full of so many pieces of lore and information and references to past shows that it utterly piqued my interest and prompted me to start watching all the shows.
As a result of STO being my main introduction to Star Trek though, be it in its original 'Odyssey Class' configuration or its (non-canon) 'Yorktown-Type' refit configuration, the Enterprise-F is "my" Enterprise, in much the same way as those who grew up watching the early movies call the Constitution-Refit “their” enterprise, or those who grew up watching TNG call the Galaxy Class "their" Enterprise and so on. That was the big hero-flagship when I was getting into Star Trek for the first time. There was a point (like a decade ago) in the game where you could go see the Enterprise any time you wanted by looking out the window in the ship requisitions room on Spacedock. I remember standing there and being in awe of it as it loomed over the requisitions room.
I am THRILLED that Star Trek Picard made the ‘Oddy’ canon. Yes, it was disappointing that "my" Enterprise was sidelined after about 30 seconds on screen; we'd known for some time that the Enterprise-F was to be slated for "early decommission" in Picard season 3, and I'd gotten used to that fact, but I wasn't ready to see an Enterprise-G quite so soon. I actually briefly went through the stages of grief over it, not going to lie, but I've made peace with it now.
I look forward to seeing what adventures Captain Seven and First Officer Raffi have on the Enterprise-G (Star Trek: Legacy?), and I'm hoping that at some point, we might get a show, or at least flashbacks, set on or around the Enterprise-F during its prime (maybe Prodigy, since its about the right point in the timeline, as per Terry Matalas and Dave Blass’ lore about when the canon version of the ‘F’ launched).
As much as I would have liked to see more of it in those episodes, the Odyssey Class Enterprise-F, "my" Enterprise, will forever be part of Star Trek canon now and I am so grateful!

"Time Again"
Tumblr media
Time and time again, Starfleet would attempt to replicate the success of the original Constitution-Class and it's refit, but few if ever were as successful as the original. The Vesper-Class was an attempt to combine the Excelsior-Class's ubiquity in a smaller Constitution-esque frame, developed alongside the Ambassador. It wasn't very successful

I have so many critiques of the writing in Star Trek: Picard's third season that I don't think that I've actually expressed how incredibly ugly (and just what a stupid concept) I find the Constitution-III class to be
Tumblr media
And it's just such a complete vandalization of the original Luna-class Titan (of which it is, allegedly, a refit), which was a fan design, and was actually quite beautiful:
Tumblr media
And my god, the ship doesn't even get to keep its *name*. It gets retitled the Enterprise-G because M'talas seems honestly to believe that the highest honour possible is to be pulped down and remoulded as a copy of something that he grew up with.

Enterprise F Headcanon
So on the Picard season finale, I loved everything...but the decommissioning of the Enrerprise F in favor of the G. It put the Enterprise F out of service nearly a decade before Star Trek Online. But we are Star Trek fans, and when we don't like something, we headcanon around it. I’ll wite my headcanon about the Titan A/Enterprise G headcanon later (if there's interest), but here's my headcanon on the F's return for the game.
Tumblr media
The Enterprise G serves faithfully up to early 2409, when she is scheduled for refit to replace her older parts with the latest tech. While Starfleet was loath to have the Enterprise out of service during a conflict with the Klingon Empire, some of the Enterprise's components were nearing 40 years old.
Tumblr media
The Utopia Planitia Yards had been re-opened in 2405, and the Enterprise G was to be their most important project yet. When the G pulled into drydock, the yards had the new components already on site, with a projected duration of two months.
Tumblr media
That would change when a KDF fleet led by Commander Alveck attacked Utopia Planitia using codes stolen from the USS Dewitt. This would have undoubtedly been a complete loss for Starfleet, had it not been for the Enterprise G. Captain Seven of Nine and several of her command crew had been visiting their ship to inspect the progress when the attack came. The Enterprise was warp incapable, but her captain had no intention of running.
Tumblr media
The KDF force had expected a defenseless target due to the stolen codes. Instead they found Starfleet's enraged flagship standing between them and victory. 
Tumblr media
The attacking force vastly outnumbered the Constitution III, and she couldn't protect the entire yard, but the Klingon quickly grew frustrated as ship after ship fell to the Enterprise's fire. But the Enterprise was taking heavy damage and her shields finally collapsed. The bird of prey Daqtagh locked torpedoes on the crippled flagship, certain of their victory, but it was not to be.
Tumblr media
Lieutenant Ash'ara of the bird of prey D'tek watched in shock as the Daqtagh vanished in a ball of fire and plasma, only for the bow of the U.S.S. Riptide to emerge as she charged the Klingon fleet. The Riptide was a sister ship of the Enterprise G under the command of Commander Hazel Rendevez. She had found the stricken Dewitt, destroying the KDF ship left behind to scuttle her, and pursued the KDF fleet to Utopia Planitia. She dropped out of warp through the Datagh, destroying it instantly.
Tumblr media
The Riptide and Enterprise dove upon Commander Alvek's flagship, disabling it with their combined fire, before turning to face the D'tek.
With further Starfleet reinforcements appearing on long range sensors,  Lieutenant Ash'ara was forced to order a withdrawal.
Starfleet had repelled the attack, but at high cost.
Multiple ships, both under repairs and incomplete hulls, had been destroyed. Multiple drydocks had been reduced to molten scrap...and the Enterprise had taken critical damage.
The Enterprise G had to be towed to another drydock by her sister; she had suffered major structural damage during the battle. While repairable, it would have taken over a year if the yards had been at full strength. With so many docks destroyed, and the new components meant for Enterprise destroyed, the estimates were closer to two.
Starfleet was down their flagship, at a time they desperately needed her. Morale had dropped drastically after word of the attack had got out. If the fleet learned the Enterprise was out of service...
Fortunately Commodore Geordi LaForge had a solution. Following the completion of the Enterprise D's restoration in 2403, he had turned his attention to another ship of the name. The Odyssey class Enterprise F was nearly operational again, with Utopia Planetia's help, she could enter service within the original timeframe for the G's refit.
Tumblr media
The F was flown to Utopia Planitia under heavy escort, the yard workers beginning their work almost before she stopped moving. Command had ordered the Enterprise restoration to be the yard's highest priority.
Tumblr media
The unexpected revelation of Undine influence brought a temporary ceasefire to the conflict before the F's restoration could be completed, but Starfleet pushed through the project anyway.
This proved to be a wise decision, as during the final week of the refit, Deep Space 9 was taken by a temporally displaced dominion fleet. The newly recommissioned Odyssey class Enterprise would lead the battle to retake the station. Captain Seven of Nine had deferred command, instead choosing to oversee the repair of her Enterprise. Instead Captain Va'kel Shon of the recently lost USS Belfast would be given command of Starfleet's returning flagship.
Tumblr media
Throughout the rest of 2409 to the end of 2410, the Enterprise F served with distinction in the leadup to, and duration of the Iconian war. The final battle of the war saw the Enterprise lead the defense of the Sol System against the Iconian Armada, taking critical damage in the process.
Tumblr media
2411 dawned to see the Enterprises once again switch roles, the newly refitted Enterprise G relieveing the battered Odyssey.
There was consideration given to the idea for retiring the Enterprise F again, but the idea was dismissed as impractical due to the massive losses Starfleet had sustained during the war.
The Enterprise F was refitted to the new Yorktown subclass specifications, bringing the 24 year old vessel back to the forefront of Starfleet technology.
Tumblr media
There was the question of what Starfleet would do with two starships named Enterprise in service at the same time, but the debate was silenced by Admiral Kathryn Janeway, who rolled her eyes and commented that starfleet needed the extra luck given the last few years.
As of 2412 both the Yorktown class U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-F and the Constitution III Class refit U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-G are in service. The 1701-F currently is the active flagship of Starfleet. The Enterprise G has recently departed on a long term Exploration mission.
