[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] Depends on what we mean by saving it. The Enterprise definately saved the universe in "The Alternative Factor" and "The City on the Edge of Forever". In the former, they saved not just the Federation but the entire universe. The second, of course, was partially their fault. Well, at least McCoy's. Still, it should count. Then we have several instances of the crew averting potentially disasterous wars with the Klingons, the Romulans, the Gorn...maybe the Tholians, though I don't remember the details of that one too well. We've got the deactivation of the Doomsday Machine, though the credit for that one probably goes to Commodore Decker for sentimental reasons. A few other large events that threatened individual Federation worlds or colonies. All of that might explain why Starfleet adopts the Enterprise's symbol as its own. The preferential suffix treatment probably comes from the events of The Motion Picture and The Voyager Home. Not to mention that the Enterprise might have been one of the only starships of the era to complete her five year mission largely intact. The first hugely popular success of Starfleet's "to boldly go" policy, perhaps. [/QB][/QUOTE]
