Rick Berman, co-creator of UPN's upcoming Star Trek series, Enterprise, revealed key details of the new show in an interview with TV Guide, the official Trek Web site reported. Among the revelations: The titular starship will carry the designation NX-01 (NX referring to an experimental prototype ship); the ship will resemble an Akira-class starship; and the crew will number between 70 and 80. The ship's interior will be more cramped, Berman told the magazine: "In the captain's ready room, you can bump your head if you don't watch out."
Moreover, the time period of the show is 150 years from now, pre-Federation but early Starfleet, Berman said. "We wanted to go back to a time when space exploration was truly new," Berman said. Starfleet is strictly an Earth-based organization with headquarters in San Francisco. Relations with the Vulcans have been strained, with feelings on Earth bordering on resentment toward the race that made first contact with them nearly a century earlier, TV Guide reported.
The villains will be called the Suliban, a genetically enhanced race that is given a leg up from the distant future, where a temporal cold war rages. The Klingons will resemble the ones from the feature films and newer series, not the ones in the original series, Berman added.
