I was hoping you’d say that! There’s a rival collector operating out of Exchange Gamma by the name of Keska. They’re a permanent nuisance, forever undercutting my bids in order to procure the latest items.

You see, when the NX-01 was in active service, the Federation didn’t even exist yet. What did exist, however, was a tenuous relationship between the Vulcans and the Humans.

Captain Archer and his crew managed to defend the colony until aid arrived, but by that point, it was too late. The NX-01 had sustained critical damage in the attack. There were no survivors…

But, of course, I’m sure you know all that! Still, it’s nice to catch up on our history, isn’t it? Now, I have the plaque in question, and I’m willing to let it go. However, the means of payment is up to you!

The Xindi attacks on the Federation have been meticulously planned for years… centuries, in fact. The Xindi Council has been infiltrated and manipulated by trans-dimensional beings; The Sphere-Builders.

Sphere-Builders? This moniker must be referring to the spheres that populate the Delphic Expanse.

Correct. The spheres that the Federation was foolish enough to believe would provide them with unlimited renewable energy. The true purpose of the spheres, however, is something far less admirable.

Surely you’ve noticed the spatial anomalies that plague the Expanse? The Xindi told you that the spheres are harnessing energy from these anomalies when, in fact, they are the cause of the anomalies.

By using the Xindi as their puppets, the Sphere-Builders seek to transform the Expanse into a space habitable to their species. When this happens, the Federation as you know it will cease to exist.
