Launched into space by a highly modified Titan V ICBM, the "Phoenix" was humankind's first operational warp-powered spacecraft. Designed and built under the direction of Dr. Zephram Cochrane during the aftermath of WWIII, the "Phoenix" with a crew of three made its first successful launch from Montana on April 5, 2063. It was shortly thereafter that humanity had its first encounter with an alien race, the Vulcans.
The "Phoenix" was the centerpiece of what was arguably the best of the "Next Generation"-era "Star Trek" films, "Star Trek: First Contact." The design incorporated elements of the Titan II ICBM that stood in for the more futuristic "Titan V" as well as the warp nacelles now so familiar to "Star Trek" viewers.
