Ages of the Federation is a new total conversion mod for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion. This mod takes place in the Enterprise and Original series eras, focusing on the conflict between the early Federation and Klingon Empire. A resurgent Romulan Star Empire, angry and still licking its wounds after their defeat to Earth and her allies waits in the shadows, ready to take advantage of any of misstep by either the warring powers. The Xindi, new to the galactic stage are also eager to forge their own path.
Jonathan Archer, Personal Journal Entry - February 12, 2245:
Just got back from the dedication, and my God - what a ship! I'd seen pictures, sure, and I'd seen her from a distance through the shuttle window, but when I stepped into that viewing lounge... I mean, she filled the whole viewport! Made my old ship look downright quaint in comparison. They offered me a quick tour, but I don't think my legs could take that much walking - the knee is acting up again. Still, the new Enterprise is a fine ship. I wish Trip was still around - come hell or high water, I know nothing would have stopped him from going on that tour. They'd probably still be trying to drag him out of the engine room as we speak!
Saw a few familiar faces at the ceremony. Most of these admirals were junior officers when I retired! Hell, Admiral Shukar snapped to attention and called me 'sir' when he saw me!
I tried chatting up Admiral Drake, hoping to find out just how the war is really going, but she was wise to my act before I'd even opened my mouth. Guess I'm not as charming as I used to be. Everything's 'classified' and 'need to know' these days, but I suppose that's for the best. Looks like I'll just have to rely on the news reports like everyone else. Still, it's frustrating being out of the loop.
I caught up with Soval. He's looking well. In fact, aside from his hair being a little more grey than I remember, I swear he hasn't aged a day. I know he's far older than I am, but damned if I didn't feel my age talking to him. To think that whipper-snapper used to lecture me! Ha! Actually I tried that one on him. He wasn't impressed. Typical.

Wonderful writing for Archer. I wish his character got a proper sendoff.
They all deserved a proper ending.
RIP Porthos
The series' true hero. May he eternally feast on pieces of cheese.
I didn't even notice the NX until I went for a wallpaper grab. Very good use of lighting here with the NX in shadow and the light reflecting off of the Constitution. As though the touch had indeed been passed from one to the other. Dramatic. Poetic. Fitting. I love it.
Fair winds and following seas Johnathan Archer. We have the watch.
Actually the NX is somewhat transparent, llike an apparition. The spirit of the NX-01 guiding the new Enterprise out, as it were.
Also, the NX doesn't appear in the picture posted on Facebook. It's an idea I had immediately after posting it there. Fortunately I had time to add it before posting it here.
That just makes it cooler. Nicely done!
Wait! wait! NX!? Where?
ohohoho! you sssneaky little hob...sssslaver
A Discovery reference, Admiral Shukar!
For those who don't watch the show (you're missing out, Season 2 is amazing)

We have a handful of references to Discovery sprinkled throughout our lore.
DAT AFT!
wouldn't the nx-01 have been upgraded to the endeavor refit by then?
:P
heroes!!!
