The story so far: It is 2154. Having saved Earth from being destroyed entirely by the Xindi Superweapon, Captain Jonathan Archer and the starship Enterprise NX-01 have been thrown back in time to an alternate version of 1944, where the Nazi expansion has brought German troops onto U.S. soil. Unfortunately for everyone, having been separated by preceding events, neither Archer nor the rest of the Enterprise crew are aware of the other's existence. The Temporal Cold War continues to rage across time, with the struggle intensifying between the shady masters of the Suliban and the team of agents which includes Daniels. In the normal timeline, Alpha Quadrant politics continues as normal, with Vulcans and Andorians in a state of near-war, Andorians and Tellarites in constant bickering, and Human-Vulcan relations strained to the point that a single incident could have disastrous consequences. The Romulans remain suspiciously uninvolved. On board Enterprise, Trip and T'Pol's relationship appears to be reaching new levels, although T'Pol remains unwillingly engaged to her Vulcan betrothed, Koss. Some accounts remain unsettled, as Archer and his crew may find on their return to Earth, and T'Pol will certainly find when she returns to her home planet, Vulcan. The story unfolds... Shaping the future: Genetic Enhancement - Our galaxy has had a long and difficult history with the subject of Genetic Enhancement. In the late part of the 20th century, a group of genetic "supermen" began a terrible conflict known as the Eugenics Wars. The result of an ambitious selective breeding program, these men had come to power because it was believed that their superior abilities gave them the right to command the rest of the human race. The result was that by 1992, one such individual, Khan Noonien Singh, rose to rule one-fourth of the planet. Although defeated, Khan escaped into space, only to return years later to plague Starfleet's Captain James Kirk not once, but twice more. Klingon attempts at genetic engineering in the mid-22nd century led to the creation of a disastrous virus, which proved fatal to Klingons. Although, with the aid of a kidnapped Denobulan doctor, a cure for the disease was eventually found, not all of the symptoms could be completely reversed and a great many Klingons survived with visible traces of the affliction well into the mid-22nd century. As the symptoms included the loss of the distinctive bony Klingon forehead, this explains why many of Captain Kirk's adversaries between 2264 and 2269 do not appear as we have come to expect, and instead look like swarthy, thick-set humans. Given the attendant advantages of genetic engineering, many parents sought to have their children "enhanced," often with disturbing results. By the 24th century, the practice had been outlawed, and genetically enhanced individuals were excluded from acceptance at various prestigious institutions, including Starfleet. Only a very few genetically enhanced individuals were able to gain Starfleet positions, achieved by hiding their true status. "Deep Space Nine's" Dr. Julian Bashir is one such example. Of course, not all species eschew genetic manipulation. One race sees it as a path to perfection. But then, Borg logic is not always the most palatable!
