Notes:	10/22/03: ENTERPRISE will welcome back the Andorians and Jeff Combs's character 'Shran' in an unlikely place later this season--the Expanse. In details for the thirteenth episode, "Proving Ground," provided to TrekWeb, the Enterprise seeks assistance from Shran when they run into each other in the Expanse. The mission is to work together and steal the Xindi weapon of mass destruction. But unbeknownst to Archer and his crew, Shran has orders from Andorian command to seize the weapon for their own use against the Vulcans. Shran objects, feeling comradeship toward Archer, but his female officer 'Talas' nonetheless works clandestinely to sabotage the Enterprise's efforts. "Proving Ground" may also feature the Xindi Council, with scenes including the Xindi-Humanoid 'Degra' and his assistant.
