Hér koma áhugaverðar upplýsingar um nýju seríuna…… ég hef því miður engar upprunaupplýsingar á þessu info-i þar sem þetta small til mín í tölvupósti, en tel það vera nokkuð traust…..

I've been following the development of the new Trek series since last year (I actually dislike Trek, OTW, but even then, there were rumours that it was going to be set at the “Birth of the Federation”, which seemed to have potential), and I have hopes that the new series might be at least as good as DS9, perhaps better.
Only time will tell, of course.

What we know about Series V:

Only that it will be set on a spacecraft named Enterprise, and feature 7 central characters, 5 Human, 2 Alien. That's all that's come out of the mouths of TOTALLY official sources.

Strong Rumours:

A casting sheet with the main characters, which came out before the 5/2 ratio was announced, but tallies with it (enhancing it's credibility), has not been denied or confirmed, and entirely supports the idea of a “Pre-Federation” or “Birth of the Federation” series. Most of the characters sound like bad rip-offs of TOS at first glance, but then look at the old TNG
casting sheet and thing seem equally appalling.

Two actors have been supposedly cast, again, no confirmations, no denials, that being that Scott Bakula will play the Captain “Jackson Archer” (very much a “bad RPG character” name!), and that Majorie Monaghan (sp?), who was
a recurring character in B5, will play “T'Pau” (presumably the same one), his Vulcan Science-Officer (not actually in Starfleet, because her rank is the Romulan-sounding-but-presumably-Vulcan “Sub-Commander”).

That the Enterprise will be the Spaceship Enterprise (as opposed to Starship), and have the designation SS Enterprise.

That the ship does not have nacelles.

There's not really much else out there. There's been some BS fron AICN, but really, if one true thing has come out of that website since mid-2000 I'd be VERY suprised.

>From the casting sheet the main villians would appear to be a genetically engineered race (super-humans?), the “Suliban”, though the Romulans would presumably feature.

It is, however, apparently “canon”, that no human had ever seen a Romulan until some TOS episode, though that does not preclude Romulans masquerading as Vulcans appearing…
