Now What We Know About Enterprise ....
Set in the mid-22nd century -- 2151 -- 150 years from now and 100 years or so before James T. Kirk, ENTERPRISE introduces us to the pioneering days of space exploration, when interstellar travel is in its infancy, and a universe - and the unknown - portends both danger and awe. Appropriately, the crew of Enterprise exhibits a sense of wonder as well as a little trepidation about the strange things and beings they will encounter. Being among the first to explore deep space, they will have to prove they are ready for life among the stars. The show explores the intergalactic upheaval that eventually leads to the forming of the Federation.
Additionally, ENTERPRISE is the first Star Trek series to feature an ongoing plot line from the beginning. In the pilot episode,"Broken Bow", a mysterious villain from the future is introduced. In concert with the genetically-manipulative race the Suliban, this unknown figure will recur throughout the series.
The Cast:
Scott Backlua: (Quantum Leap): Stars as 'Captain Jonathan Archer',Intensely curious. Born and raised an explorer. Unlike the Starfleet captains in centuries to come, he exhibits a sense of wonder and excitement, as well as a little trepidation about the strange things he will encounter...
Jolene Blalcok: ('Sub Commander T'Pol')Late 20s, early 30s. Vulcan female. Austere yet sensual. She's the Science Officer assigned to oversee humanity's progress on board Enterprise.
John Billingsley: ('Doctor Phlox') Exotic alien. Medical officer. Appears to be in his 40s, but we're not certain of his real age. Phlox speaks with a slight alien accent and has an eccentric sense of humor that no one quite understands.
Linda Park: ('Ensign Hoshi Sato, Comm Officer')Comm Officer. Japanese. Mid to late 20s. Striking and intelligent, Hoshi has a feisty spirit that often tests the patience of the crew. She's in charge of communications on Enterprise, but she also serves as ship's Translator.
A.T. Montgomery: ('Ensign Travis Mayweather, Helmsman') African American. Mid to late 20s. A unique product of 22nd Century life, Mayweather was raised on cargo ships. As a result Travis is more "interstellar" than even the Captain.
Dominic Keating: ('Lieutenant Malcolm Reed, Munitions Officer')Armory Officer. British. Late 20s - early 30s. In the new age of humanity's enlightenment, Reed is a bit of a throwback. He's a 22nd Century "soldier", all spit and polish and by-the-book.
Connor trinneer: ('Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III, Engineer') Chief Engineer. Early 30s. A Southerner who enjoys using his "country" persona to disarm people. He has an offbeat, often sarcastic sense of humor.

The Uniforms:
According to UPN President Tom Nunan, "The uniforms look like the NASA uniforms that we're more familiar with." In addition, the uniforms have zippers and pockets and according to TNG cast members Jonathan Frakes and Brent Spiner are much more comfortable and contemporary than the previous Trek series costumes.
The Ship:
SPECIFICATIONS:
Registry number: NX-01, Starfleet
Crew compliment: 87
Length: 190 meters
Weight: 80,000 metric tons
Armaments: The Enterprise is equipped with laser cannons, hull-retracting plasma-charged artillery turrets, and spatial torpedoes.
Defensive mechanisms: No shields, only equipped with retractable polarized hull plating.
Shuttle pods: The Enterprise is equipped with shuttle pods, each carrying six passengers and a pilot. They are launched using a magnetic arm, which lowers them through bomb bay doors below the hull of the ship and then releases them. Used for ship to shore, ship to ship, and ship to station transportation. Capable of sub-warp speeds only.
Replicators: The Enterprise stocks regular foodstuffs but has primitive replicators, or protein resequencers, that can produce limits items like pasta or beverages.
Transporters: No bio-filters. Crew members must decontaminate themselves in a Decon Chamber with phosphorescent gel. Transporters are only used for cargo, though human transport will be pioneered during the first season.
Communications: Long-range communications only possible while at warp. Intra-ship communications through touch-panel only. Away teams will carry communicators with primitive universal translators in them.
