Set in the mid-22nd century, over 100 years before James T. Kirk helmed the famous vessel, this installment of the "Star Trek" franchise is set on the Enterprise NX-01 -- the first Earth starship capable of warp 5 -- and explores the history of the interplanetary upheaval that eventually leads to the formation of the Federation.

The Enterprise is crippled by waves of destructive anomalies that distort the laws of physics while searching for the Xindi; Ventaxian pirates attack the ship.

Archer, Reed and Hoshi are exposed to a highly contagious virus while exploring a tropical alien world.

A slave girl, Rajiin, uses her mental powers on the crew to steal information on humans for her Xindi overlords; Trip and T'Pol attempt to insulate the ship from further destruction from a physical phenomenon.

A lonely telepath begs Hoshi to visit his faraway planet in exchange for information on the Xindi, then refuses to allow the linguist to leave.
