Visible are the B1, D9 and B2 capital ships, each representing three different schools of Imperial battleship design philosophy, but united by their combination of overwhelming firepower and inadequate operational range.

Archer Class scouts Hengist (1888) and Horse (1889) were both centrepieces in one of the most dramatic incidents of the Acamar Crisis, when they performed an atmospheric run over the planet to make sensor scans of Klingon military facilities and Long Range Interspatial Missile Sites.

This was one of the most important elements in developing Archer’s worldview for The Last Founder.
Earlier today, I rewatched #StarTrekENT's "Demons" and "Terra Prime" (you'll find out later why 😅) and I was very moved by Archer's speech towards the end of the episode. I'd love to see how his story continues in #StarTrekUnited and I'm keeping my fingers crossed! 🖖 🤞

"What are Sarek's politics? Simple.
If you're Vulcan, he's a dangerous radical.
If you're a Charterite, he's a simpering moderate.
If you're an Archerite, he's a meddlesome interventionist.
If you're a Unionist, he's a damned Sevrinite pacifist.
And if you're Wescott, he's a bloody nuisance."

THE EDGE OF MIDNIGHT is more than a story of Starships and Armies.
It is a history of the battle between democracy and autocracy; between the hope of a true utopia and the fear of destruction; and of the struggles of the augment, the colonist and the reformer on both sides of the Disputed Area.
