| abstract | - Jonathan Archer's great-grandfather served in North Africa during the Eugenics Wars. During one particular battle, Archer's great-grandfather's battalion was evacuating civilians, including a school full of children, from a war zone when they came under attack by the Augments. To avoid adding to the collateral damage, Archer's great-grandfather called the Augment commander, and got him to agree to hold his fire long enough to evacuate the school. In the short story "The Rules of War" from Strange New Worlds 9, the Augment commander was Stavos Keniclius while Archer's great-grandfather was given the name Nathan Archer (β). The story depicts the incident as having taken place in 1994. Archer once told this story in 2153 to explain to Trip Tucker that "there are rules...even in war," to justify assisting several unhatched Xindi-Insectoids. (ENT: "Hatchery") This great-grandfather was only mentioned in dialogue.
