Jonathan Archer and the Enterprise NX-01 are sent to this altered timeline by the temporal agent Daniels in order to prevent the Temporal Cold War from becoming "hot".  The timeline is later re-set after Archer and the Suliban Silik are able to bring down the energy shields protecting Vosk's temporal conduit, allowing the Enterprise crew to destroy it with photonic torpedoes.
