The first film was an early role of actor Tyrone Burke. He originally had a small appearance as the Freak Show Host. However, the audience reaction to him was surprisingly strong, leading to his role being greatly expanded as a trickster mentor for Jack and launching his film career.

The Ringmaster condemns Jack to relive this night, forcing him to watch Sarah die again and again, each time in a different way. The sequel follows Jack as he attempts to learn more about the Ringmaster. The third film concludes with him finally breaking the curse and saving Sarah.

The show quickly devolves into a bizarre decadence of various erotic fantasies. Jack becomes overwhelmed by the constant barrage from the dancers, fortune tellers, clowns, magicians, and other performers. He tries to leave with Sarah, only for her to be killed in the final act.

Thanks to Vulcan efforts to restore the original biodiversity, Israel-Palestine has become most famous for its olive industry. Chef Griffin of Enterprise (NX-01) famously kept several cases of Palestinian olive oil for the galley crew.

Throughout the country are monuments and museums dedicated to the atrocities that were committed during the 20th and 21st Centuries. A 300m section of the former Gaza Wall still stands as a reminder of the horrific persecution that was enforced on Palestinians.

Today, the capital of Israel-Palestine is Gaza City, a thriving cosmopolitan municipality which saw a major population boom when Palestinian descendants returned. ACOM Systems has a major office in the city, which also hosts an annual windsurfing regatta.

After First Contact, the Vulcans identified Israel as a particularly volatile region. Overlooking the Sea of Galilee, Camp Solkar was established as a joint command of the Territorial Army and Science Expeditionary Group to maintain order and assist in decontamination.

Ultimately, an Israeli nuclear attack on Iran prompted a response by their backers in the Eastern Coalition. A squadron of Russian bombers nuked Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, in what many described as the EC's only moral action during the war.

Like all nations, North America is led by a democratically-elected governor. It is subdivided into 100 federal states, each represented by one councilor in the North American Congress and run by a state executive.

The capital of North America is New York City, reborn after the nuclear strike in World War III. The second-largest city is Mexico City, followed by San Francisco, Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, Los Angeles, Chicago, Toronto, and Miami.

Sadly, Dr. Hendron is ultimately killed in a shuttle crash near Jupiter on December 20. The science department goes without a head until shortly before launch, when Sub-Commander T'Pol of the Vulcan Science Group is assigned to the ship.

Starfleet quickly launches a media blitz in preparation for the launch of their first Warp 5 ship. Archer and Hendron make many appearances on news programs, children's educational shows, late night talk shows, and even during Ambassador Soval's hosting of Saturday Night Live.

Trip brings his entire division from Saratoga to serve as the engineering department. Hendron begins recruiting from across Starfleet Science, and even manages to enlist famed archaeologist Dr. Lynn Spitz of the Altair colony excavations.

He already has two people in mind for his crew. The first is Charles "Trip" Tucker III, currently deputy engineer on Saratoga, to be his chief. The second is the celebrated astronomer Dr. Cole Hendron, a friend of his late father, to be his science officer.
