"Borderland" -- After a dangerous group of genetically engineered humans called Augments escape from their secluded planet intent on causing all-out war between Earth and the Klingons, the Enterprise crew is called into action and Archer enlists the help of the brilliant criminal Dr. Arik Soong (guest star Brent Spiner), the scientist responsible for creating the Augments, on Star Trek: Enterprise, Friday, October 29 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on UPN. David Livingston directed the episode from a script by Ken LaZebnik. This three-episode arc expands upon the tale told in the feature film "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn", involving the Eugenics War on Earth.
While searching for the Augments in Klingon-controlled space, Enterprise crosses paths with a band of ruthless alien Orion slave traders (including guest star Paul Wight), who kidnap T'Pol and eight other crew members off the ship so they can be sold at auction, forcing Archer to enact a risky rescue mission with Dr. Soong's help.
First of a three-episode story arc, featuring TNG's Brent Spiner as Dr. Arik Soong, a scientist who has created twenty genetically-enhanced super-men, from embryos created during the Eugenics Wars.
