The Teaser

As I said in my previous post, this outline was written by Thomas Moore from TrekUnited. It is his vision of how Season 5 of Enterprise can unfold.

The idea is to post a little bit of the outline at time to get your imaginations running.

My grateful thanks to Tom a.k.a. Fleetlord for allowing me to use his outline, and to the members of TrekUnited for their continued support.

Okay, here we go...

Season 5 general plot:
By, Thomas Moore
The story so far...

April 7th 2157.

It’s been over two years since the events of Terra Prime, and our intrepid crew of the Enterprise have had their fair share of adventures, some of which will influence the events to come.

Enterprise and Columbia are still the only warp 5 ships but have been upgraded to warp 5.5, however there are 3 more NX warp 5 ships that are 3 months away from launching.

The Vulcan’s have decided to fully share their warp technology with Earth. So the new warp 7 project, known as the Daedalus Project, has begun on Earth and is expected to be completed by 2163, but there are factions out there who want to put a stop to this...

The Salem Project

In 2155 Starfleet began the Salem Project, it is an ambitious plan to build 5 'Starbases', now almost two years later most of them are almost finished. One of these bases will come under attack which will have dire consequences for the crew of Columbia, and will drive the humans in trying to get assistance from the stonewalling pre-federation species.

The Coalition

Earth is still working on their relationships with other races, and are trying to work through problems both on and off Earth, to build a coalition that would benefit the whole quadrant.

The events of Terra Prime dented that effort in the short run, but within a year Earth was back on top of negotiations.

However, there was a recent event that splintered the races to the point where militarily they wouldn’t help each other (Maybe the Romulans disrupted the coalition as they tried to in ‘United’ – dun, dun, dun daah).

When the Romulans declared war on the humans no other races would be directly involved as these governments had their own problems, and they were also curious to see how well the humans would hold up to this threat. Archer tries to seek help (he even asks the Xindi), but for one reason or another they do not want to be directly involved. However, some members will help Archer even if their governments don’t want to be involved (enter Shran and Sovol).

By the end of season 5 other races will be finally convinced to help the humans and learn how powerful they are when they unite. By the end of the war, the other races will find a new found appreciation for the humans, and trust them as a founding member for the proposed coalition. The process is therefore accelerated and by 2161 the new Federation is born.

As Earth has shown its strength and leadership Starfleet will be based on Earth for the federation military in general, the Academy and the political office.

Around this time the Romulans will have a trade agreement with the Klingons supplying them with some weapons and ships, but the Klingons will not get directly involved in the war. This trade alliance will be broken by Archer with the help of Shran and Kolos, but it seems that 100 years later the Klingons once again traded with the Romulans, and once more it was broken up for unknown reasons.
