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." |
