Riker has been captain of 3 starships onscreen.
Since his time on Star Trek: The Next Generation, William Riker has served as the captain of three Star Trek ships on screen. Throughout TNG and the subsequent films, Commander Riker served as First Officer on the USS Enterprise-D and Enterprise-E under the command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard . He earned a reputation as one of the best first officers in Starfleet and turned down numerous offers for his own command to remain on the Enterprise.
Star Trek: Picard Season 1 Showed Riker As Captain Of USS Zheng He Riker Led The Fleet That Confronted The Zhat Vash At Coppelius Close After serving for several years as captain of the USS Titan, Riker took a leave of absence from Starfleet and settled with his family on Nepenthe. Riker and his wife, Counselor Deanna Troi , knew that Nepenthe had healing properties, and they both hoped it would help their son, Thaddeus. Tragically, Thad later passed away from mendaxic neurosclerosis.
Soon after, Riker returned to Starfleet, briefly taking command of the USS Zheng He. The Zheng He led the fleet that arrived at Coppelius to help the android residents resist a Zhat Vash attack. Riker told Commodore Oh , who was actually a Romulan Zhat Vash agent, that Coppelius was under Federation protection. Although Riker and his fleet were prepared for a fight – signalling a combative streak to his leadership – Picard and his friends on the surface prevented the battle from breaking out.
The Titan continues to engage with the Pakleds, as they investigate who may be helping them. Although Riker clearly loves being captain of the Titan, he also tells Boimler how much he misses his time on the USS Enterprise-D. When Boimler decides to return to the Cerritos, Riker tells him to enjoy being on a ship "that's exploring and solving science mysteries instead of nonstop fighting." There's a reason Riker remained on the Enterprise as long as he did.
