''Star Trek: Enterprise'' (titled simply ''Enterprise'' for the first two seasons; sometimes abbreviated to ''ST: ENT'') is an American science fiction TV series and a prequel to the original ''Star Trek'' series. The series premiered on September 26, 2001, on the UPN television network and the final episode aired on May 13, 2005. The show is set in regions of the Milky Way galaxy near Earth, aboard the ''Enterprise'' NX-01, Earth's first starship designed for long-range exploration of the galaxy. The series begins in 2151 (115 years before the original series) when Jonathan Archer becomes the captain of the ''Enterprise'', and ends in 2161 with the formation of the United Federation of Planets. == Production == In May 2000, Rick Berman, executive producer of ''Star Trek: Voyager'', revealed that a new series would premiere following the final season of ''Voyager''. Little news was forthcoming for months as Berman and Brannon Braga developed the untitled series, known only as "Series V", until February 2001, when Paramount signed Herman Zimmerman and John Eaves to production design Series V. Within a month, scenic designer Michael Okuda, another long-time ''Trek'' veteran, was also signed. Michael Westmore, make-up designer for ''Trek'' since ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'' (''TNG''), was announced as working on Series V by the end of April. Returning as director of photography would be Marvin V. Rush, who had been working on various ''Trek''s since the third season of ''TNG''. For visual effects, Ronald B. Moore, who had previously worked on ''TNG'' and ''Voyager'', was brought in.〔 On May 11, 2001, it was announced that Series V was going to be called ''Enterprise'' and that Scott Bakula of ''Quantum Leap'' was to play the lead role of Captain Jonathan Archer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Scott Bakula to Star as Captain Archer in Paramount Network Television's ENTERPRISE, the Newest 'Star Trek' Series. )〕 The character's first name was originally Jackson, then changed to Jeffrey and finally Jonathan due to fan feedback. Four days later, the rest of the main cast was announced, though the character names would not be announced until the next day. Berman explained the decision to initially exclude the words "Star Trek" from the show's title: On May 14, 2001, shooting began for the pilot episode, "Broken Bow", on stages 8, 9, and 18 at Paramount Studios. Three days later, Tom Nunan, entertainment producer at UPN, held a press conference formally announcing ''Enterprise'' to the world at large. Featuring a video on the history of the ''Star Trek'' franchise, Nunan held up previous installments of the franchise as proof-of-concept that ''Enterprise'' would succeed. On September 26, 2001, the premiere episode of ''Enterprise'', "Broken Bow", aired on UPN with an estimated 12.54 million viewers.〔(The End of A Space Odyssey - Washington Post Article by Frank Ahrens. ) Published May 8, 2005.
