STARFLEET PERSONNEL FILE: Archer, Jonathan

Rank: Captain
Assignment: Commanding officer, Enterprise NX-01
Full Name: Jonathan Archer
Birthplace: Upstate New York, North America, Earth

Biographical Overview


Jonathan Archer grew up dreaming of the day when he would get to go "where no man has gone before". His father was the renowned Henry Archer, who led the development of the Warp Five engine in the footsteps of warp pioneer Zefram Cochrane. So it is fitting that Jonathan would carry on the family legacy by commanding the first starship powered by that engine, the Enterprise NX-01.

Possessing an insatiable sense of adventure and wonder, Captain Archer is guided by a core of human decency and intuition. He is fiercely independent, while at the same time strongly committed to duty. All these qualities made him Starfleet's choice to lead humanity's first mission into the deeper reaches of space and represent Earth in the wider galactic community.
