Notes

  • TV Guide Description: "Archer's determination to solve the mystery of Terra Nova, a legendary lost deep-space colony, leads to a tense encounter with a tribe of human-hating cave-dwellers."

  • Erick Avari previously appeared as B'Ijik in TNG's 'Unification, Part One' and as Vedek Yarka in DS9's 'Destiny.'

  • Rumoured to feature an old Earth settlement, Terra Nova, which was colonised by Earth before fast interstellar space travel was possible. After the initial group of colonist settled down, Earth wanted to send a second wave of colonists, but the inhabitants of Terra Nova refused. Shortly thereafter, all contact with the colony was lost, and as the planet was nine years travel away, no investigation team was ever sent. Now, Captain Archer and his crew go to investigate and see if there are any humans still left. (October 02, 2001 - TrekToday)
