Today is the fifteenth anniversary of the premiere of Star Trek: Enterprise. The series was the sixth in the popular Star Trek franchise and the only prequel, having spun-off from the time traveling film Star Trek: First Contact and being set before the original Star Trek series. Enterprise followed the crew of the title ship as humans first began to explore the galaxy while building to the formation of the United Federation of Planets that is well established in the other series. Unfortunately, the series was plagued with poor critical and fan reception as well as low ratings and was part of what ultimately ended the franchise for a time.

The series featured the talents of Jeffrey Combs in one of numerous Star Trek roles as Commander Shran, Brent Spiner as his The Next Generation character's creators' grandfather Dr. Arik Soong as well as his voice for Commander Data, James Avery as Klingon General K'Vagh, Majel Barrett-Roddenberry once more as the voice of the computer, Clancy Brown as Zobral, David Sobolov as Slar, James Donald Hall as a Klingon Com Voice, Marc Worden as a Klingon Prisoner, James Cromwell returning to play Dr. Zefram Cochrane, and Jonathan Frakes returning to the role of Commander William T. Riker in the series' infamous finale.
