Almost every Star Trek Captain has some kind of catchphrase for when the ship jumps to Warp, but some are more iconic than others.
The starships of Star Trek have seen many Captains and almost all of them has uttered a catchphrase when preparing the ship for Warp speed. The moment a starship jumps into Warp is a moment full of endless possibilities. It seems fitting that most Captains would choose to punctuate this moment with a memorable saying. The Warp catchphrase has become such a staple that Star Trek: Discovery showed the crewmembers eagerly anticipating what a new Captain would say .
15 "Execute" Captain Kirk made use of this catchphrase in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, but he's not the only Star Trek captain to have said it. Saru tries this one as Captain of the USS Discovery to signal the use of the spore drive. Saru struggled to find his perfect Captain's catchphrase, and "Execute" just doesn't quite stick. It's not an elegant word, and it feels clunky to shout when in the middle of a potentially tense situation.
12 "Take Us Out" In the 2009 Star Trek movie, Chris Pine's Captain Kirk uses "Take us out," but as will become apparent by this list, Kirk doesn't have one particular catchphrase. Kirk orders his crew to initiate Warp Drive in many different ways, often specific to the situation he and his crew are in. This catchphrase, for example, works best when the Enterprise is leaving a ship dock or otherwise heading out into the stars.
9 "Do It" Star Trek: Voyager's Captain Janeway's Warp catchphrase may be simple, but she says it with such a commanding air that it's impossible not to want to follow her orders. While it's more than just the word "Go," this one is still a simple catchphrase that serves to get the point across without any flowery language. As the first female starship Captain to lead her own show, it makes sense that Janeway would have a catchphrase that commands authority.
6 "Let's Fly" When Michael Burnham became the USS Discovery's Captain, she went with "Let's fly" as her catchphrase. This phrase captures her idealism and desire to explore the stars. While it doesn't fill as commanding as something like "Hit it" or "Engage," that's not really Burnham's style anyway. This phrase works well for her as a character and as a Captain.
