Typhon Station is a very fastpaced PBeM RPG with skilled, experienced players and a warm sense of bonding and community. We play at the turn-of-the-century, 2400, and are located in the Typhon Expanses, bordering the Neutral Zone, proximate to the Romulan Empire, and near the Iconian Digs, and are on the first warning route of the original Borg Incursion. We have three stations to post from, SB 185, USS Odyssey, and USS Wraith. They all have general and particular storylines and all interact. This game is not for the faint of heart! The writing is superb and comes hot and heavy. We have some open spots and also we will consider character suggestions. So, longtime RPGers and novices, check us out. See if you want to make Typhon Station your home away from home. (0 comments | Add)

Talking to Sci-Fi Wire today executive producer Brannon Braga has revealed that the ENTERPRISE crew will have its first brush with the Romulans early in season two.

"I think I can say without getting into too much trouble that very early in the season we will have our first brush with the Romulans. ... Capt. Archer will have a very lethal brush with the Romulans early on." He added, "We've been very careful. The continuity is airtight. Believe me. We know. We know."

This comes on the heels of months of speculation about the introduction of the Romulans into the series.

Braga also reveals that former X-FILES scribe John Shiban's first script will involve Lt. Reed pinned under a deep-space mine on the exterior hull of the NX-01. This script will be the third of the season.

Speaking about the Vulcans, Braga says that the second episode of the series will involve time travel back to the 1950s and a secret about the Vulcans.

"One of the things we realized early on, when we were doing this series, was that there was a chance to make the Vulcans really interesting again. ... The Vulcans are really a paradoxical species, especially on this show, in that they are very enlightened, and consider themselves to be enlightened, but they're really kind of screwed up, too. ... The second or third episode will be a big [Vulcan] episode, which actually takes place in the 1950s, and we learn that first contact with Zefram Cochrane actually wasn't the first time Vulcans had been on Earth. And the High Command has this secret thing that they're trying to cover up."

He also promises big revelations about T'Pol's character. He says the Temporal Cold War will take a backseat after the premiere gives hints about the birth of the Federation and Phlox and Mayweather will get more work this year.

"We're trying to improve on the first year. We've got a great part two to the [first-season-ending] cliffhanger, which we were very pleased with, and that's terrific. And we've got, gosh, we're about seven stories in. We're just starting. ... We want to capitalize more on the fact that it's a prequel. We want to have a season that maybe has even more action than it had last season. And we want to just keep the creative juices flowing."

Brannon goes on to say Captain Archer will get his space legs as the season progresses and grow into the role of a captain trying to prove his mission. For more, check out this page.
