UPN has premiered the trailer for Star Trek: Enterprise's "Babel One", which airs next Friday night.

In this first installment of a multi=part story, written by Michael Sussman & Andre Bormanis, planned peace talks between the Andorians and Tellarites are interrupted by a distress call from Shran and the presence of an unseen disruptive force. David Straiton directed the episode.

[Shran rises furiously to his feet.]

[Archer and other crewmembers intervene as Shran and the Andorian take swings at one another.]

[Sato speaks to Archer in his ready room.]

Sato: "You have to respond in kind. Otherwise they'll take offense."

[A Tellarite approaches Archer, who stands with T'Pol, Sato and other crew members.]

Archer: "You people are even uglier than I remember."

[Archer and the Tellarite shake hands.]

NOW THEY'RE PUPPETS OF A MYSTERIOUS FORCE THAT PITS SPECIES AGAINST SPECIES.

[A humanoid in what appears to be a virtual reality suit manipulates circuits.]

[Shran, with Talas and Phlox behind him, speaks to Archer in the medical bay.]

Shran: "There will be bloodshed."

[Shran falls as an explosion rocks his ship.]

[Shran aims a phase pistol at a Tellarite.]
