A new Star Trek series, planned as a continuation of Star Trek: Enterprise decades later, has revealed surprising details about the family of President Jonathan Archer and hinted at the return of familiar faces. Writer and producer Michael Sussman, who worked on Star Trek: Enterprise, is developing the show, now titled Star Trek: United, with input from Scott Bakula, sparking huge excitement among fans.
Nick Hallam and Sci-Finatics, known for their interviews and news coverage of Michael Sussman, have created an opening credits sequence for their fan project, Star Trek: United. The sequence is styled after the softer, rock-influenced titles of Star Trek: Enterprise. It showcases designs from legendary Star Trek concept artist Andy Probert – specifically his design for President Archer’s consular starship – along with work from Robert Bonchune and other skilled visual effects artists.
A new video from Sci-Finatics shares exciting updates about President Archer’s family in Star Trek: United, including details about new characters and their potential roles in a possible return for Scott Bakula. The video also reveals three legacy Star Trek characters who are planned to reappear in Star Trek: United. You can watch the Sci-Finatics video here:
Okay, let’s clear up some confusion about Star Trek: United. It’s not officially in production at Paramount+ just yet – it’s still just a pitch for a new series starring Scott Bakula, so don’t expect casting announcements anytime soon. But, after a lot of rumors, Michael Sussman recently shared some interesting details about the background of Captain Archer’s wife and kids, and hinted at how they might be involved in the story if the show gets the green light. It’s early days, but it’s definitely giving us a peek at what could be!
- Ilani -President Archer’s wife and a Federation defense attorney. Ilani belongs to an unspecified alien race, possibly a new Star Trek species, and she is the mother of Archer’s youngest child, Sabrin.
- Camilla Archer – In her early 30s, Camilla is Archer’s eldest daughter and the twin of brother Gus Hernandez. Their mother is Captain Erika Hernandez (Ada Maris) from Star Trek: Enterprise. Idealistic Camilla returns to politics at Archer’s request after stepping away to raise a child with her partner.
- Lt. Commander Augustin “Gus” Hernandez – The twin brother to Camilla, Gus uses his mother’s surname to create distance from their famous father. Lt. Commander Hernandez is a Starfleet Officer who performs high-risk missions for the Federation.
- Sabrin Archer – 17-18 years old, Sabrin is half-human and part of the first generation of human/alien hybrids. Sabrin is at the center of the Federation’s moral and ethical conflict regarding the rights of human/alien hybrids.
- T’Var – President Archer’s adopted Vulcan son, who was orphaned and rescued from the Romulan war. A Vulcan raised by humans, the adult T’Var became an analyst for Federation Intelligence.

Michael Sussman and Sci-Finatics suggested several established characters from past Star Trek series who might appear in Star Trek: United, including both a villain and characters who were allies of President Archer.
- Minister Talok – Introduced in Star Trek: Enterprise season 4, Talok remains a Romulan operative posing as a Vulcan who infiltrated the Federation. Working from the shadows, Minister Talok furthers the Romulans’ secret agenda against the Federation, and he may take an interest in Archer’s adopted son, T’Var. Naturally, hopes are that Todd Stashwick would return to play Talok, which the actor has indicated his willingness to do.
- Consular Aide Sarek – At this point in the late 22nd century, Sarek is 18 years old at the beginning of his career in Star Trek: United. Sarek would possibly be placed in President Archer’s orbit as a junior aide and first exposure to humans and Federation politics. Sarek would also strike a friendship with Sabrin Archer, and this would perhaps be the start of Sarek’s journey to becoming the father of half-human/half-Vulcan Spock.
- Admiral Shran – The former Commander of the Andorian Imperial Guard and rebel would be reintroduced as a Starfleet Admiral in Star Trek: United. Shran would still be an ally of President Archer, and hopes are that Jeffrey Combs would reprise the popular Andorian, who would have become a series regular if Star Trek: Enterprise season 5 had happened.
It’s difficult to think of another potential Star Trek TV show—one that hasn’t been made yet—that has received as much detailed planning and backstory as Star Trek: United. Writer Mike Sussman seems to have already outlined numerous seasons’ worth of stories about President Archer’s family and their efforts to protect the newly formed United Federation of Planets.
