The regular Enterprise cast consists of seven important Enterprise NX-01 officers, though not all of them are assigned to Earth Starfleet: five humans and 2 humanoids (71% to 29%), 5 men and 2 women (71% to 29%), and out of the humans, 3 are Americans and 2 not (60% to 40%). One reason for the strong focus on humans in general and Americans in particular may be the goal of the series to show the first venture into (deep) space (one of the most popular American dreams) and the extension of the "New Frontier" which has become a part of American culture - of course, the depiction of this will look more realistic from a familiar point of view, a point of view the audience can easily identify with.

Jonathan Archer

Promotional photo	Promotional photo	Enterprise pilot

• Affiliation: Earth Starfleet (since about 15 years)

• Rank: Captain

• Function: Commanding officer of experimental Earth Starfleet spaceship Enterprise, NX-01

• Age: 39 (born in 2112)

• "Bible" description: "Early 40's. Physical. Intensely curious. Unlike the Captains in centuries to come, Archer exhibits a sense of wonder and excitement, as well as a little trepidation about the strange things he will encounter. He holds a grudge against the Vulcans, who he blames for impeding humanity's progress. But his Science Officer, T'Pol, is Vulcan, and he's struggling to reconsider these preconceptions. Although he has a strong sense of duty, he's a bit of a renegade - he's not afraid to question orders or even disobey them, if he feels in his gut that he's right.  Archer was there when the first girders of the Enterprise were put into place. And when the Vulcans tried to suspend the maiden launch after the Broken Bow Incident, claiming humans weren't ready for interstellar travel, Archer helped persuade Starfleet to press on. Archer has mixed feelings about T'Pol; she embodies the arrogance and high-mindedness of the Vulcans who kept his father from realizing his dreams of space exploration. But he also realizes T'Pol is a more seasoned space traveller, and he often relies on her wisdom and experience; at times, he even enjoys her dry sense of humour. Archer and T'Pol will continue to butt heads regarding humanity's new role in the 'intergalactic neighbourhood', but they will also develop a long-lasting friendship that is rare for its day - the bond between human and alien. Archer is something of a mentor to his chief engineer, Charlie Tucker, and although he enjoys Charlie's enthusiasm and unique sense of humour, there are times when the Captain has to remind him he has to tone down his somewhat overzealous personality. The Kirks and Picards and Janeways will one-day have the benefit of the Captains who preceded them. But Jonathan Archer is the prototype. He's making history with every light year. Because he knows his Captain's Logs will be studied for years to come, he keeps especially detailed reports. The logs themselves will be both personal and humorous..."

Jolene Blalock is "T'Pol"

• Affiliation: Vulcan space agency [name yet unknown]

• Rank: Sub-Commander

• Function: First officer / Science officer; Vulcan supervisor

• Age: 65 (born in 2086)

• "Bible" description: "Vulcan female. Austere but sensual. She's the Science Officer assigned to 'oversee' our progress. In exchange for star charts and tactical information, the Vulcans insisted we include one of their officers on the Enterprise. Starfleet Command reluctantly agreed. Not everyone is happy with this addition to the crew: Why do we need a Vulcan watching over us like we're children? T'Pol isn't thrilled with the assignment, either. She was hoping for a Vulcan commission. The last thing she expected was to be living among a primitive, irrational species. But she's resigned to this 'hardship post' because she has no other choice. She's not comfortable around the crew& or the emotions they display. Secretly, however, she will begin to envy humans. Now that she lives among them, she can't help but develop a fascination with their food, and catalogue their behaviour. She even studies their mating customs. T'Pol has a grudging respect for Captain Archer, who has proven to her that humanity has the potential to exceed its limitations. She simply doesn't understand Charlie, however; she finds that he embodies all of the baser instincts of humanity. T'Pol gravitates toward Doctor Phlox. As a fellow 'outsider', he's the only one she can confide in about her experiences among humans. The two of them will often debate humanity and its foibles. At one point, he'll give her a 'nasal numbing agent'. She can't stand the smell of humans when they're anxious. She's older than everyone on board. But she won't reveal how old. Hoshi is always asking her about her age. T'Pol: 'In human years, or Vulcan years?'"

• Affiliation: Earth Starfleet

• Rank: Commander

• Function: Chief engineer

• "Bible" description: "Charlie 'Trip' Tucker III spent his youth in the Florida Keys working on an ocean reclamation project. A thrill-seeker, Charlie eventually ended up in Orbital Engineering, building starships at Utopia Planitia and earning a reputation as a miracle-worker of sorts. Charlie's best friend is the helmsman, Ensign Mayweather, and the two are always in search of the latest adventure in what reads like an early Paris/Kim relationship. More importantly, Archer, T'Pol, and Tucker form the triumverate of the series, the three most important decision-makers on board, similar to Kirk, Spock, and McCoy."

• Affiliation: Earth Starfleet

• Rank: Lieutenant Commander

• Function: Tactical / Security / Munitions officer

• "Bible" description: "British, male, late twenties. Armoury Officer. In the new age of humanity's enlightenment, Reed is a bit of a throwback. He's a 22nd century 'soldier', all spit and polish and by-the-book. He maintains a rigorous daily schedule; when he isn't on duty, he's working out on a futuristic exercise apparatus he keeps in his quarters, or toiling in the munitions lab, perfecting some new kind of torpedo. He's the antithesis of our Chief Engineer, Charlie Tucker, who is undisciplined, a 'rebel' of sorts. The two men are frequently at odds. Reed is always trying to expand his weapons inventory, storing munitions in parts of the ship designated to Engineering. Tucker is constantly finding photon grenades cluttering his Jefferies Tubes. There just isn't enough deck space for both men. Reed is filled with contradictions. Despite his near-obsession with regulations and munitions, he's also soft spoken, shy, and awkward around women."

Hoshi Sato

• Affiliation: Earth Starfleet

• Rank: Ensign

• Degree: Doctor of Linguistics (supposed)

• Function: Communications officer

• "Bible" description: "Comm Officer. Human, late twenties. Striking and intelligent, Hoshi has a feisty spirit that often tests the patience of the crew. She's in charge of communications systems on Enterprise, and also serves as ship's Translator. An expert in exo-linguistics, she learned to manipulate her vocal chords to emit a range of alien sounds no human has ever produced. Hoshi has a natural affinity for picking up languages. Give her ten minutes with a Klingon, and she'll be chatting about the weather on Kronos. Universal Translator technology is a work-in-progress; it malfunctions, often missing the nuance of alien grammar and syntax. So Hoshi must always be prepared to step in and act as intermediary. Hoshi doesn't like the idea of being trapped in a 'tin can' hurtling at impossible speeds. Every time the Enterprise jumps to warp, she grips her console and closes her eyes. She's a 'white knuckle' space-farer. Hoshi and T'Pol are like oil and water. Hoshi loves to tweak the Vulcan; get her to show emotion. This unlikely duo will share a conflictual relationship... but in the field, they'll be like sisters. They'd die for each other."

Phlox

Cast photo season 1	Cast photo season 1	Enterprise pilot	Enterprise pilot

• Affiliation: Unknown

• Degree: Doctor

• Function: Medical officer

• "Bible" description: "Our most exotic character, the Doctor is an eccentric alien with an oblique sense of humour that no one quite understands. Because he speaks with an accent, and isn't familiar with Earth cultures, there are many humorous misunderstandings. Phlox thinks that humanity is fascinating - the complex sexual mores (his species reproduces asexually), social customs... 'oh my, what wonderful creatures'! To say the Doctor has made himself 'at home' on the Enterprise is putting it mildly. He's filled Sickbay with all sorts of bizarre medical instruments, alien plants and spores, and stasis chambers filled with small, living creatures. He practices a brand of 'intergalactic medicine' the likes of which we've never seen. This makes the most routine visit to Sickbay an unexpected adventure..."
