John Eaves’ sketches for the USS Endeavour. In later drafts of Star Trek: First Contact, the Endeavour was replaced by the Defiant, as Worf had begun appearing on DS9. (The first draft had Worf at the Enterprise-E’s tactical station, as it was written before The Way Of the Warrior.)The Endeavour was first mentioned in the TNG episode Redemption II and was named for the American space shuttle, which, in turn, was named for Captain James Cook’s HMS Endeavour, hence the British spelling. The Star Trek Encyclopedia posits that the Endeavour, under the command of Captain Amasov, was the sole Starfleet vessel to survive the Battle of Wolf 359. The New Frontier novels, however, establish that the USS Excalibur was heavily damaged at Wolf 359, but survived. -- source link
