USS Enterprise-C

A battered Constitution-class starship limps through a tormented stretch of space, its hull scarred by recent combat and systems stuttering as it fights to reach a temporal rift. Alarms thrum beneath the roar of distant phaser and torpedo impacts; the air of the crippled vessel tastes of ozone and scorched circuitry. From its crippled profile, frantic helm corrections attempt one last thrust toward the rift while nearby allies—under a hail of Klingon fire—strain to keep it within range. The ship functions as a fragile, heroic fulcrum: a wounded vessel whose continued motion decides timelines and demands sacrificial protection.
