Revision as of 04:28, 4 October 2005
The son of famed warp specialist Henry Archer and his wife, Sally, Jonathan Archer was appointed captain of Starfleet's first warp five starship, Enterprise NX-01. Born in upstate New York, he soon set his sights on the stars. As an explorer and peacemaker, his name is among the most recognized in the Federation, and his pioneering voyages aboard the Enterprise are known to school children on dozens of worlds, many of which were unknown to humans in Archer's lifetime. Historian John Gill called Archer the "greatest explorer of the 22nd Century."
Captain of Enterprise
Archer IV, which orbits 61 Ursae Majoris was the first M-Class world charted by the famous explorer. Although the planet was uninhabitable throughout the 22nd Century due to toxic pollen in the atmosphere, an antidote to the pollen was discovered early in the 2200's. (ENT episode: "Strange New World") Today, the population of Archer IV numbers more than seven hundred million.
Archer earned an impressive list of commendations during his career, including a Medal of Valor, with clusters, the Star Cross, the Preantares Ribbon of Commendation, and the Federation Citation of Honor. Archer was also appointed an honorary member of the Andorian Guard by General Thy’lek Shran in 2164. He’s the only human to have two planets named in his honor: Archer’s Planet in the Gamma Trianguli sector, and Archer VI as mentioned above.
Later Life
After retiring from Starfleet as Chief of Staff, Archer continued working to improve interspecies relations as Ambassador to Andoria from 2169 to 2175, when he was elected to the position of Federation Councilman. Later he became Federation President 2184-2192.
Archer died peacefully in his home in upstate New York in the year 2245, exactly one day after attending the christening ceremony of the first Federation Starship named in honor of his vessel, Enterprise, NCC-1701. (ENT episode: "In a Mirror, Darkly," part 2)
