Terra Prime
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This article is about a group featured in Star Trek. For the article on the Star Trek: Enterprise episode of the same name, see "Terra Prime (Enterprise episode)".
In the science fiction television series Star Trek: Enterprise, set in the Star Trek universe, Terra Prime is a radical, xenophobic, human isolationist movement led by John Frederick Paxton (played by Peter Weller), dedicated to repelling all non-human species from Earth and Earth's solar system, and inhibiting the formation of a Federation. This organization's main base of power was on Earth's moon.
Terra Prime was formed long before the first Warp 5 ship, Enterprise NX-01, left Space Dock. The organization, however, stayed relatively passive and discreet; however, after the Xindi attack on Earth, the organization became exceedingly more active and had more followers. The attack on Earth's embassy on the planet Vulcan also increased their public support.
Paxton was in charge of the mining operation of the Orpheus Mining Colony located on the moon, which relocated to Mars, taking over a verteron array just before the signing of a charter to create a coalition that eventually led to the formation of the United Federation of Planets.
