The Enterprise Catwalk - Departure of Captain Archer's crew towards The Delphic Expanse

"Enterprise" is the sixth series in the Star Trek franchise. It served as a prequel to Star Trek: The Original Series. The show is set in the 22nd century, a hundred years before the events of The Original Series and just prior to the formation of the United Federation of Planets. The series follows the adventures of the Enterprise, Earth's first starship capable of traveling at warp five, as it explores the galaxy and encounters various alien species.

 

Jonathan Archer, the son of famed warp engineer Henry Archer, is the commanding officer of the first starship Enterprise (NX-01) from 2151 to 2161 and is later President of the United Federation of Planets from 2184 to 2192.

The Crew : T'Pol is the Vulcanian Science Officer; Charles "Trip" Tucker III is the Chief Engineer; Travis Mayweather is the Helmsman; Hoshi Sato is the Communications & Languages Officer.

The Beagle Porthos is Archer's pet dog.

 

The Delphic Expanse, commonly abbreviated as "the Expanse", is the setting for the entire third season of Star Trek: Enterprise.

The Expanse is about 2000 light years across, surrounded by thick thermobaric clouds. Its edge is located about 50 light-years from Earth. Intense gravitational distortions, similar to quantum singularities, make travel through the Expanse extremely difficult, as it seems that space does not obey the known laws of physics in this region. Travelers risk injury, disfigurement, and death if their vessels are not lined with the protective metal Trellium-D.

The Expanse is the home of the previously unknown hostile races collectively known as the Xindi, but the crew of the Enterprise discovers that the Xindi are being manipulated into their enmity by other forces with vested interests in the region. Actually, thousands of years ago, a number of cloaked spheres the size of small moons were constructed throughout the Expanse by trans-dimensional beings as a prelude to invasion; their purpose was to alter the fabric of space in the region, to make it habitable for the Sphere Builders.
