Columbia (NX-02) was the second United Earth Starfleet starship of the NX-class in service during the mid-22nd century.
El Columbia (NX-02) fue la segunda nave clase NX de la Flota Estelar Terrestre. Estuvo de servicio a mediados del siglo 22, desde su lanzamiento en 2154 hasta su presunta retirada como nave de clase NX en 2161.
Following the successful launch of the Enterprise NX-01 in 2151, Starfleet quickly ordered an additional three NX-class starships that were to enter service in the near future. As a result the Columbia was the second ship of the class to begin construction, however at that point the vessel was only designated NX-02. (ENT episode: "Fortunate Son")
Columbia (NX-02) was a NX-class explorer in Earth Starfleet service during the mid-22nd century. Columbia was launched in November 2154 as the second ship of the NX-class, with several technological upgrades compared to her predecessor. Her first commanding officer was Erika Hernandez. (ENT: "Affliction", "Home") The logs of the starship Discovery for August 9, 2156 (during the Earth-Romulan War) recommended to Starfleet that Columbia, along with Atlantis, catch the Romulans off-guard by performing surgical ‘calvary raids’ on their outposts.
