| Name: | Bonaventure |
S.S. Bonaventure (10281NCC) was a starship, presumably of Earth registry, active in the 22nd century.
Said to be the first starship equipped with warp drive, Bonaventure was lost on its third voyage in the Delta Triangle region.
- Perhaps Zefram Cochrane's Phoenix was only a testbed for the warp drive, and thus not considered a starship in its own right.
On stardate 5267.3 (ca. 2269), Bonaventure was discovered by USS Enterprise in the pocket continuum of Elysia along with hundreds of other vessels lost over the centuries. (TAS: "Time Trap")
Delta Dynamics[]
In this continuity, Bonaventure was a Federation starship with the registry of NX-81. It was a prototype and the testbed for a new type of warp drive, not the first vessel to have one. Construction began in 2229 and it disappeared with all hands in 2231. (Star Fleet Starship Recognition Manual: Report: Bonaventure Testbed)

Background[]
As depicted in the episode, Bonaventure had a similar configuration to Constitution-class starships: saucer-shaped primary hull, cylindrical secondary hull, with outboard warp nacelles mounted on pylons. However, it was smaller than Enterprise.
