For those of you that havent read TV guide or seen it online the last

episode of Enterprise-The Expanse -is going to have some big changes

for the series.A previously unheard of race-the Xindi- launch a probe

that attacks Earth devestating southern North America,Central America

and northern South America -killing upwards of 70 million.The

Enterprise is sent to the "bermuda triangle" of space-the Delphic

Expanse -to track down the mysterious Xindi.T'Pol violates orders from

the Vulcan High Command to join them.Next season she will be sporting

a new uniform and hairdo.Trip ,embittered by the death of his sister

in Florida turns into a "(I'm trying to say a bad word but can't)kicker" and a group of hot shot Starfleet

recruits joins the ship to help against the Xindi-shades of Section

31? My question is where is all of this leading?Enterprise is

pre-Federation(should be pre -Starfleet to but who remembers UESPA?)

but will this show show the birth of the Federation or end before it

actually happens.All previous canon suggests the Earth-Romulan war was

the event that preceded the Federation foundation.This implies that

the conflict was only between Earth and Romulus with the other major

powers-especially the Vulcans- staying neutral.I know that this change

in the show is being done to improve ratings but there has got to be

some respect of previously established canon.What do you think- will

Berman and company have this Xindi campaigh replace the Romulan War or

not?

Should they?Any and all ideas appreciated.

Im sure that if the show goes on like the rest of them, for seven seasons, that there will be more than this xindi war, possibly the romulan war, only they know, and we'll find out.

I belive that this would explain how Starfleet will be able to fight the Romulans. Think about it.

The Xindi attack Earth. So Starfleet upgrades Enterprise and sends it into the Delphic Expanse to stop the current threat. Meanwhile, back on Earth, new NX-Class ships would be given the same upgrades in their original construction. They would also be mass produced, pumping out dozens a year. A few years down the road, the Earth-Romulan War begins, but Starfleet is now combat ready because of the Xindi conflict. A fleet of NXs would be able to fight the Romulans.

 

 

Just a thought.

I'm not sure this will develop into a war but it sure sounds interesting

Also, the Enterprise dedication plaque says it was commisioned by UESPA and it states that in 2161 after the Federation was founded Starfleet was incorporated, meaning it existed prior to 2161, so this aspect of continuity is sound.
