The series depicts the voyages of Earth's first warp five starship, the Enterprise (NX-01). The series began with a focus on Humanity's early deep space exploration. Recurring story arcs in the series included: the interstellar-politics of the era, pointing towards the eventual formation of the United Federation of Planets; growing hostilities with the Romulan Star Empire, building up the Earth-Romulan War; and the Temporal Cold War.
In addition to the Enterprise itself settings for the series include: The Enterprise's sister ship, the Columbia and Earth and its galactic neighbours, including the Confederacy of Vulcan, the Andorian Empire, the Klingon Empire and the Romulan Star Empire. Other antagonists in the series have included the Suliban Cabal and the Xindi.
The primary characters in the series are the crew of the Enterprise: Captain Jonathan Archer; Charles "Trip" Tucker III, the chief engineer, come Section 31 spy; T'Pol, the Vulcan first officer and science officer; Phlox, the Denobulan chief medical officer; Malcolm Reed, the tactic officer; Hoshi Sato, a linguist and communications officer; and Travis Mayweather at the helm.
Prominent recurring characters include: The Andorian Shran; Ambassador Soval, of Vulcan; Starfleet admiral Maxwell Forrest; Erika Hernandez, captain of the Columbia; Future Guy, and his Suliban henchman Silik; and the enigmatic time traveller Daniels.
Star Trek: Enterprise aired ninety-eight episodes (including five two-parters) over the course of four seasons. Due to declining ratings, the series were cancelled during its fourth season.
As the most recent television series of Star Trek: Enterprise has so far spawned only a limited number of stories in novels and short stories. Enterprise novels have begun to expand the series beyond its television ending, now heading towards the Romulan War.
Enterprise stories have also featured in several multi-series prose projects. The first crossover Enterprise tale was a short prelude to the The Brave and the Bold duology. Enterprise short stories and novels have also been published in the Mirror Universe and Myriad Universes series. The starship Columbia and crew play a significant role in the Destiny crossover trilogy.

Enterprise has not had any video games based purely on it, but the series does feature in the franchise-spanning games such as Legacy and Encounters.
Enterprise is the only of the television series not to have any comics based on it. The most Enterprise has so far achieved in comics are a handful of references in IDW Publishing publications: A shuttlepod appeared in TNG comic: "Captain's Pleasure" and flashback to the ENT episode: "Divergence" was included in TOS comic: "Against Their Nature", making Phlox the first, and so far only, Enterprise character to appear in a comic.
Enterprise references can be found in several of the RPG books published by Decipher, and the Star Trek: Customizable Card Game.
There are no reference works based solely on the series, but elements from the series are incorporated into the Star Charts book, and Star Trek: Fact Files and Star Trek: The Collector's Edition part-work publications. Images based on Enterprise have also appeared in the Ships of the Line calendars and Ships of the Line book.
