    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      This episode featured not only the first good look at the interior of an Andorian ship but also provided the first glimpse of Andoria, albeit briefly on a monitor.
    • Goofs
      The discovery of a proving ground for the Xindi weapon belies the notion that they would have sent a test weapon to Earth. The idea that the Xindi would deposit evidence of their intentions on Earth before their attack plans were ready is unlikely, if they could have merely tested it at the Proving Ground.
    • Quotes

      Commander Shran: Take us out of the system, but not too quickly. The Andorian Mining Consortium runs from no one.
