I'm planning on running a series in the ENT-era and came up with the following: Since the whole pre-mature departure of the Enterprise is due to the temporal cold war, one would think that there was an original time-line in which Capt. Archer mightnot have been part of the first crew.
In my campaign the players get to be the "real" first crew of the Enterprise, I'll probably keep a similar crew-make up as is used in the series (a vulcan 1st officer and an alien doctor).
What I need to work out though is some sort of original timeline which hasn't been meddled with by the temporal cold war.
A time-line in which the Suliban were not much of a threat to anyone. A time-line in which the first contact with the Klingons will lead to years of hostility, and the first contact with the Andorians occures in a more favourable light. (They do after all become one of the founding members of the UFP.)
Basically where, when (or even how) would these important moments take place?
I basically need a list of interesting and noteworthy things that need to or could happen before a UFP can be formed. Would anyone with a more in-depth knowledge of.... dare I say it.. continuity like to help?
