During [[Stefan Amaris]]' coup on [[Terra]] in late December [[2766]], the ''Enterprise'' and its squadron were responsible for destroying the [[Rim Worlds Republic]] flagship, the [[Stefan Amaris (Individual Stefan Amaris-class WarShip)|RWS ''Stefan Amaris'']] along with numerous other Republican WarShips, as well as covering the evacuation of the surviving [[SLDF]] High Command staff from Terra before being destroyed by surface to orbit fire from defenses on Terra under the control of the Republican forces.<ref name="H:LoTV1p79">''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'', p. 79: "Struggle For The Terran System"</ref>

By the time the High Command decided to evacuate from the Citadel on Terra, it was already 1910 TST; the evacuation then ran late, with the emergency [[DropShip]]s not launching from the Citadel until 2000 TST, by which point the ''Enterprise'' and her escort group had been reduced to just three vessels - the ''[[Black Lion]]''-class battlecruiser [[Theodor Logan|SLS ''Theodor Logan'']], the ''[[Sovetskii Soyuz]]''-class heavy cruiser [[Kharkov|SLS ''Kharkov'']] and the ''Enterprise'' itself, while the rest of the 14th Line Squadron fought in higher orbit. Only two DropShips survived to reach the rendezvous with the ''Kharkov'', and as soon as the DropShips had docked with the ''Kharkov'' all three vessels made for the nearest Lagrange point at top speed.<ref name="H:LoTV1p79"/>

When the ''Kharkov'' had jumped out of the Terran system, the ''Enterprise'' and the ''Theodor Logan'' returned to the fight, rendezvousing with an ad hoc attack squadron at the [[Metz Station]] and then leading this squadron on the attack against the main concentration of [[Rim Worlds Republic]] vessels, which were located over Eastern Europe at the time. The Republican forces on the ground had also seized three ground-based space defense weapons, and as the SLDF engaged in a sixteen-hour battle that saw every Republican ship in orbit destroyed, the ground defenses added their fire to that of the Republican navy. The ''Enterprise'' was destroyed during this battle, having taken significant damage from the ground-based defenses; the ''Theodor Logan'', the last of the ''Enterprise's'' group, was one of six SLDF vessels to survive the battle and withdraw back to the Metz for the final day of the struggle for control of Terra.<ref name="H:LoTV1p79"/>
