Saw this online :
Rome wasn't built in a day and neither was the Federation, according to Enterprise executive producer Brannon Braga.
Speaking in the latest issue of Star Trek: The Magazine, Braga said the 'founding of the Federation' story arc would continue for several years to come.
"Part of the arc of this whole series is going to be to see how humanity finally becomes a real player in the Galactic neighbourhood, because in Archer's time there's one ship out there," he said (via TrekWeb). "How in the world did we help form something like the Federation? And that'll take a number of years to unfold."
At the moment, the series won't be too specific about the political layout of the galaxy. "I think it's best to avoid questions like 'Is there a world government?'" Braga continued. "I don't know. We are kind of skirting around that. I do know that there is no United Federation of Planets, and that human beings have met a handful of aliens, and that's it - all courtesy of the Vulcans. And war, disease, hunger, poverty, blah blah blah; those things are gone, pretty much, but humanity doesn't entirely have its act together. They are not the human beings of Picard's day, for instance. Captain Archer is not perfect; he is not the fully polished Gene Roddenberry human."
The prequel setting will enable both long-time fans and newcomers to enjoy Enterprise. "We want this show to appeal to hard-core fans in that they will get to see how Star Trek came to be, but we also want it to appeal to people who are trying Star Trek for the first time. We want it to be more down-to-earth, we want them to say 'Hey, Scott Bakula's cool, this show is cool!'"
