The emotional reveries pause for a moment as everyone grows quiet and looks atWorf.

That was not my fault, the formerEnterprise-Ecaptain declares and everyone moves on.

In contrast, the Enterprise-D appeared in all seven seasons ofStar Trek: The Next Generation.

This led many to believe that in official canon he was never theEnterprise-E captain.

This bit of backstory makes Matalas solution to theEnterpriseEquestion even better.

So everyone is going, What the hell happened?

Thats way more fun.

Is it lost in an interdimensional rift and its still out there somewhere?

Was it an accidental self destruct?

Paramount+ did give some hints toward an answer in social media posts they shared via Instagram.

According to the entry about the USS Enterprise, the -Es final mission is classified.

No one knows yet.
