Sphere-Builder Presage

Sphere Builder presage

The Sphere Builder presage was consulted by the other Sphere Builders on multiple occasions to examine alternate timelines and to gain insight on how the future would be affected by events occurring in the present. She advised the other Sphere Builders that, due to the actions of the crew of the Starship Enterprise, the possibility of their success was quickly diminishing, leading them to take a more direct hand in attempting to destroy Enterprise. (ENT: "The Council", "Countdown", "Zero Hour")

The Sphere Builder presage was played by Mary Mara.

Sphere-Builder Primary

Sphere Builder primary

The Sphere Builder primary coordinated the effort to assist the Xindi-Reptilians in deploying the Xindi superweapon against Earth so her species could invade the galaxy unopposed in the future. The Sphere Builder Primary, along with others of her species who boarded Enterprise and attempted to destroy it, was forced back into her own realm when the reconfigured space began to collapse. (ENT: "The Council", "Countdown", "Zero Hour")

The Sphere Builder Primary was played by Ruth Williamson.

This Sphere Builder was portrayed by stunt actress Alina Andrei, who received no credit for her appearance.

Sphere Builder Test Subject

A test subject found by Enterprise

This Builder was sent as an experiment to determine if the reconfigured space was able to sustain them.

Enterprise retrieved his transport pod from inside a spatial anomaly. After being taken to sickbay, the alien claimed that he was a prisoner who was forced to volunteer for the experiment. Captain Archer refused to let him return to his ship, and when Phlox was distracted in sickbay, the alien attacked him and escaped by moving through the ship. After he was recaptured by Lieutenant Reed and Major Hayes, the alien warned Archer that when the Xindi destroyed Earth, his people would take over our universe, before disintegrating due to his incompatibility with normal space. (ENT: "Harbinger")

The Test Subject was played by Star Trek regular Thomas Kopache. The fact that the character had a hidden agenda influenced Kopache's portrayal of the alien. "We had to make sure that the audience wasn't tipped off about that," stated director David Livingston. "So his performance had to be shaded." ("Enterprise Moments - Season 3", ENT Season 3 DVD special features) The Test Subject was also depicted with use of a dummy whose abdomen, through use of a tube, could be made to breath. ("Behind the Camera: Marvin Rush", ENT Season 3 DVD special features)

A Sphere Builder "woman" in 2154

This Sphere Builder woman was the primary contact with the Xindi. She appeared to Commander Dolim, urging the Reptilians to press their attack on Earth by deploying the superweapon. The Builders promised the Reptilians that they would rule as the dominant species of a new Xindi empire if they hijacked the superweapon and attacked Earth without authorization from the Xindi Council. (ENT: "Damage", "The Council", "Countdown", "Zero Hour")

The Sphere Builder woman was played by Josette Di Carlo.
