Launched in 2246, the ''Venture'' had a distinguished career alongside her fellow ''Constitution'' class sisters. She completed several notable deep space exploration missions, first under the command of Captain Akintola and then later Captains Chavez, Mattsson, Zhang and Commodore De Luca. She was severely damaged towards the end of her final 5-year mission, and she was mothballed in 2272 after Starfleet decided it was easier to construct a brand new [[Constitution class refit]] rather than repair and refit ''Venture'' herself. She was later decommissioned in 2281. | Launched in 2246, the ''Venture'' had a distinguished career alongside her fellow ''Constitution'' class sisters.

She was slated for the scrapyard but a group of ''Venture'' veterans lobbied for her donation to the Starfleet Historical Museum, and she was transferred to the museum's orbital complex in 2286, where she has remained to this day. | She was slated for the scrapyard but a group of ''Venture'' veterans lobbied for her donation to the Starfleet Historical Museum, and she was transferred to the museum's lunar orbital complex in 2286, where she has remained to this day. | ||

The '''Venture Museum''' opened in 2286, after most of USS ''Venture's'' systems were stripped. Control surfaces and some equipment were left for cosmetic purposes. The shuttlebay holds two simulator rides designed to look like the Class F shuttlecraft of the 2260s. The ship's mess hall now serves as the museum cafe, and souvenirs are available on Deck 8. | |||
During a major renovation in 2378, the ship was outfitted with holographic projectors on several decks and in certain key locations such as the bridge, sickbay, and engineering to allow museum visitors to see the ship "come back to life" through holographic recreations of crew members performing their duties. | During a major renovation in 2378, the ship was outfitted with holographic projectors on several decks and in certain key locations such as the bridge, sickbay, and engineering to allow museum visitors to see the ship "come back to life" through holographic recreations of crew members performing their duties. | ||
