In an attempt to return to their last position, the Enterprise was again brought forward over a billion light years to the end of the universe, the furthest point reached by a Starfleet vessel.

In 2364, the USS Enterprise-D was hurled 2,700,000 light years, through two galaxies, to the Triangulum Galaxy by the Traveler during warp field tests. In 2293, the USS Enterprise-B, having just left Earth Spacedock, was three light years away from the transport ships SS Robert Fox and SS Lakul when they were caught up in the Nexus, making the Enterprise the closest Starfleet ship to mount a rescue. In 2256, the USS Glenn, using an experimental spore drive, managed to travel back and forth into the Beta Quadrant, a ninety light year jump, in 1.3 seconds. As such, they were considered vulnerable to Klingon attack should the USS Shenzhou fail to find a diplomatic solution to the standoff with the Sarcophagus prior to the Battle of the Binary Stars. Assistance may also be requested if the vessel is less than 1,000 light years from a standard UFP subspace relay booster station." ( TNG: " The Ensigns of Command")Įagle-12, containing a Federation space station, and Gamma Hydra, home to an Andorian colony, were respectively located three and six light years away from a binary star system at the edge of Federation space. In the Treaty of Armens ( 2255), it was stipulated, " Third party assistance may be requested from a Federation Starfleet vessel or a Sheliak Corporate spacecraft if the distance from the vessel to the respective homeworld is greater than five thousand (5.0 e3×10 3) light years. When the computer identified the numerical sequence sent by the Borg into the Delta Quadrant in 2153, it became pulsar frequencies with geometric light year measurements. At that point, Enterprise was a hundred light years from Earth and more than thirty light years from the nearest trade route with no other ships or ships or inhabited star systems for several light years, making the matter of the initially unidentified craft and its Human pilot a mystery. Later that year, Enterprise discovered what was determined to be a 31st century Earth vessel. It encountered a neutronic wave front which spanned more than half a dozen light years. At this time the ship was over one hundred light years away from Earth and more than twenty light years away from the Takret homeworld. In September of 2152, Enterprise was in orbit of an uninhabited planet. In February of 2152, Captain Jonathan Archer told Keyla that Risa was located ninety light years from Sol and was the furthest any of his people had gone at that point. In May of 2151, Enterprise found the Triglobulin harvester's starship almost three light years away from the nearest star system. The planet housing the Vulcan monastery at P'Jem was, according to the Vulcan star charts, just a few light years off of the current heading of Enterprise NX-01. Located less than twenty light years from the Sol system, Terra Nova became the first extra-solar colony of Earth in 2078.
