The Phoenix was an Earth spaceship used in the 21st century. She was the first Earth-made manned space craft to achieve warp drive. She is remembered as the ship that instigated the First Contact with Vulcans.
Dr. Zefram Cochrane, the inventor of warp drive, built this warp ship inside a missile complex in Bozeman, Montana. The ship was initially a United States Air Force Titan II nuclear missile with a titanium casing. It took Lily Sloane six months to scrounge enough titanium to build the four-meter cockpit of the Phoenix.
On April 5th, around 11 am, the Phoenix was launched. First-stage shutdown and separation were performed in orbit. The nacelles were extended, the warp core and plasma injectors were brought on-line, and the nacelles were charged. It took several seconds to accelerate to critical velocity. Light speed was then achieved by the craft. The second stage of the craft had chemical engines.
By the 24th century, the Phoenix was an exhibit in the Smithsonian Institution.
