Warning: SPOILERS for Star Trek: Discovery Season 5, Episode 7, “Erigah”

The four Starfleet ships that arrived to defend Federation HQ in Star Trek: Discovery season 5, episode 7, “Erigah,” have been identified, and the USS Voyager-J and 32nd century USS Enterprise weren’t among them. Written by M. Raven Metzner and directed by Jon Dudkowski, “Erigah” brought the Breen to the United Federation of Planets’ doorstep to collect the Eriagh (Breen blood bounty) on L’ak (Elias Toufexis) and Moll (Eve Harlow). President T’Rina (Tara Rosling) led the Federation’s tense negotiations with the Breen’s Primarch Ruhn (Tony Nappo), and four starships warped in to join the USS Discovery in facing the Breen’s massive Dreadnought.

On X, Jörg Hillebrand (@gaghyogi49), who was a renowned researcher on Star Trek: Picard season 3, identified the first two Starfleet ships to back up Federation HQ in Star Trek: Discovery season 5, episode 7, “Erigah”, as the USS Excalibur-M and the USS Credence.

Where Are USS Voyager-J & USS Enterprise In Star Trek: Discovery Season 5?

Other starships are helping the USS Discovery

The USS Voyager-J and a future version of the USS Enterprise are confirmed to be in service in Star Trek: Discovery‘s 32nd century, but neither have been seen in Star Trek: Discovery season 5. Voyager-J was shown in Star Trek: Discovery season 3, and Lt. Commander Nillson (Sara Mitich) transferred to Voyager-J from the USS Discovery before Star Trek: Discovery season 5 began. Voyager-J was also outfitted with a prototype Pathway Drive, Starfleet’s new warp system meant to replace the USS Discovery’s spore drive.

Star Trek: Discovery has yet to show the 32nd-century USS Enterprise or determine what generation the legendary starship has reached. The Enterprise was mentioned in Star Trek: Discovery season 4, joining the USS Voyager-J to scan a subspace rift left behind by the Dark Matter Anomaly. Star Trek: Discovery season 5 introduced the USS Antares, the starship formerly commanded by Captain Rayner (Callum Keith Rennie). Since Star Trek: Discovery season 5 is its final season, it’s unknown whether the USS Enterprise or USS Voyager-J will be seen before the series ends.
