....This is but a brief thought on the portrayed 'military governing body' of this pre-Federation era. UESPA (United Earth Space Probe Agency' was mentioned by Kirk a couple of times, before being replaced later by term Starfleet. I was wondering if any information has been revelead which alludes to the 'body' for which the Enterprise will be operating.

As an afterthought, what will the prefix and registry be (if there is one)?

UES-1701??? I'd hope they'd be more imaginative than that.

I would think that it would be something like UES Enterprise. The registry might be something similar to today's navies.

They'll probably just use "USS Enterprise", I'd guess. And who says it will necessarily even have a registry at all?

Inadvertently, there was a U.E.S. Enterprise. (rf. "The Corbomite Maneuver")

I think the new ship may have a registry. There is canonical evidence for this position.

I didn't mean UES-1701, that was a typo, I expect it will be something like 'UES Enterprise', and a prefix distinct from NCC.

Maybe NAR? As used on the S.S. Mariposa. And I believe they'll call it S.S. Enterprise...

First I've heard of this. Could you be more specific in your reference? (i.e. who made this statement, what it was in reference to, etc.)

USS and SS are both acceptable. The U stands for United Earth instead of United Federation.

NAR is the canon registry. The numbers do not matter at this point--- 1701 is a little pathetic though. They should not use it.

Yes, UES Enterprise in 'Corbomite Maneouvre'? I've not heard of that either.

I generally believe that the Enterprise will operate as part of a larger fleet with possibly carrying the prefix UES (United Earth Ship), or simple just SS. NCC could well be used as a reference to Naval Construction Contract, or something entirely different, such as the old non-listed 'NAR'.

But, we could wager that Berman and Braga might just say screw it, lets honour our brilliant selves and call it UPN Enterprise.

In the chapter "Trespassers", Captain Kirk in his greeting to the Fesarius says, "This is the United Earth Ship Enterprise."

I suspect it's a reference to the DVD version, though why that particular bit of information is relavent remains a mystery to me.

So Kirk was referring to his own ship when he said "United Earth Ship." The way you worded it sounded like there was another pre-Enterprise.

I really don't think terms like "Uespa," "Star Service," or "United Earth" that were used at the beginning of TOS will have any relevance whatsoever in the new show. Remember, these terms were made up by several different writers before the decision was made to adopt "United Federation of Planets" and "Starfleet." Once it was established that the UFP & SF were crated in 2161, those other names went out the window.
