YATI :	Zefram Cochrane's dedication of the warp 5 complex came two years after he vanished in space forever, according to Kirk in "Metamorphosis". According to Archer, it takes four days to reach Kronos. That puts the Klingon home world only about one light year away from Earth, which is four times closer than the nearest star.
Great Moment :	The shuttle flyby of Enterprise, with Archer and Tucker drooling over their new ship.
Body Count :	At least four Suliban killed, possibly several more.
Factoid :	Scott Bakula was reluctant to play the lead in a Star Trek series, but agreed because he was interested in playing the captain of the first Starship ever.
Quote :	"Imagine it... thousands of inhabited planets at our fingertips. And we'll be able to explore those strange new worlds and seek out new life and new civilisations. This engine will let us go boldly where no man has gone before." - Cochrane, dedicating the Warp 5 complex.

Plotline

When a Klingon ship crashlands in Broken Bow, Oklahoma, the Human authorities decide to return its wounded pilot to his home world using the revolutionary new Enterprise, by far the fastest warp capable ship yet built by Humanity. Unfortunately the aliens who shot his ship down are still after him, and the Enterprise's first mission does not go to plan.
