The years went by and Firestorm grew into a strong starship, loyal to the newly formed United Federation of Planets.
The Federation grew more and more as each day, new planets were eager to join as members, further expanding the territory.
The Klingons and Romulans were not too happy about this new emerging power and soon the Federation was at war.
But the aliens had underestimated the Federation and were soon defeated. The Neutral Zones were soon established and as long as each nation kept to its side of the line, there would be no trouble.
It was one cold winter night in 2205, high above earth at the McKinley Station that Phoenix's granddaughters were born. The first was Constellation, she was shy but eager to learn.
Then there was her sister, Enterprise. Phoenix knew that from this ship, a whole line would spring forth. Her father, Firestorm, had a perfect combination of earthly knowledge and Vulcan logic that he passed on to his children but it showed most in Enterprise.
Her bioluminescent blue eyes were to become the trademark of the flagship, according to Salma. "It was foretold, that the ship with blue eyes will lead us to greatness." She said.
Indeed Enterprise did, Phoenix watched her grow into a fine young starship, just like her father before her. She moved up the ranks quickly, becoming flagship in just a few years.
Phoenix grew old and tired and was soon decommissioned but like Enterprise had said, she wasn't scrapped. She was instead placed on display at the museum in Pluto.
The years passed and Phoenix would sometimes catch glimpses of her descendants. Each Enterprise was grander than the last.
Phoenix was saddened by the loss of the latest Enterprise, Enterprise D. She had died young, far too young but she had died fighting, following in the footsteps of her predecessor, Enterprise C.
The new Enterprise was a Sovereign-class starship. Phoenix had met her once before, actually twice before when she traveled back to her time.
The last time they had met was just before the Borg attacked. Enterprise was in a rush but she could detect something in Phoenix's voice, some knowledge she didn't have, at least not yet.
Enterprise was back at Pluto a few months later, sporting freshly healed wounds from her battle with Scimitar.
She gave Phoenix the sly eye. "I told you we'd meet again." She said. Phoenix smiled. "So you did, and you were proven correct." She replied.
Enterprise nuzzled her and Phoenix purred, gently pressing against her. "Do you have to be anywhere?" Phoenix asked. Enterprise shook her head. "No, I can stay as long as you want, Phoenix." She replied.
Just as she did then, she curled around Phoenix and Phoenix leaned into her. Another small starship, Defiant, watched them curiously.
"Is their something I'm missing here?" She asked. Phoenix and Enterprise exchanged knowing glances. "It's a long story." They said together.
