Object
USS Enterprise-D (NCC-1701-D)
The Galaxy-class starship serving as the primary setting for *Star Trek: The Next Generation*, including episodes like *Captain’s Holiday* (S3E19) and *The Best of Both Worlds* (S3E26). Houses subsystems like the target lock system, warp core, and holodeck, and is central to crew dynamics and mission-driven narratives.

Purpose
Starship travel to Risa for crew shore leave, halted by claimed repairs
Significance
Picard wields the ship's supposed repair needs as a flimsy excuse to evade Risa and Lwaxana Troi, sparking Riker's distrust and Troi's conspiratorial nudge. The vessel anchors the power shift, where crew intervention undermines captain's control and amplifies personal tensions.
