Original TrekToday rumor-mill article (10/02/2001): "Sources suggest that in the fourth regular episode after the premiere, "Terra Nova", the Enterprise encounters an old Earth settlement of that name. Terra Nova was one of the first long-distance colonies established by humanity, in the years before interstellar space travel was possible. The journey took the colonists several years, and upon arrival they disassembled the ship to have ground materials for the colony. After the colony was established, Earth wanted to send a second wave of colonists, but the inhabitants of Terra Nova refused. Earth threatened to send in more people anyway, but the colonists bluntly told them there'd be some serious trouble if they did. Shortly thereafter, communications with the colony ended, and with the planet nine years travel away, no one ever went to investigate. Terra Nova was never heard from again. By the time of Captain Archer, Starfleet of course has a ship capable of making that journey in far less time - the Enterprise. The crew is sent to investigate what happened, and see if any humans are still alive on Terra Nova."
	TV Guide description: "Archer's determination to solve the mystery of Terra Nova, a legendary lost deep-space colony, leads to a tense encounter with a tribe of human-hating cave-dwellers."
	Erick Avari previously appeared as B'Ijik in TNG's "Unification, Part I"' and as Vedek Yarka in DS9's "Destiny".
