Challenger (NX-03) (or Ch'lenjer in Romulan) was an NX-class starship in the service of the United Earth Starfleet in the mid-22nd century.
As of Thursday, May 22, 2155, Challenger was still under construction in the skies above San Francisco. On that date, while on an assignment to patrol Earth Cargo Service trade routes, Captain Jonathan Archer of the Enterprise (NX-01) pondered whether he might be able to persuade Starfleet to rush the Challenger into service, re-christening her the Sisyphus, to take on his less than engaging mission. (ENT novel: Kobayashi Maru). It was launched circa August, 2155, alongside the Discovery. In 2156, it was destroyed over Andoria when Captain Roy Dunsel activated the ship's self destruct and rammed the Romulan warbird Dhivael in a successful effort to prevent it from attacking Andoria. (ENT novel: Beneath the Raptor's Wing).
