| Phoenix - Author's Collection |
The Phoenix is well known as Earth's first warp capable ship. According to the movie, Star Trek: First Contact, it had formerly been a nuclear missile. The Phoenix was constructed by Dr. Zefram Cochrane, who also flew it during its first flight. As he activated the warp engines, the signal from the ship was detected by Vulcans who were passing through. They altered course to visit Earth, and the rest is history.
