Star Trek: Enterprise: Rosetta

On the edge of uncharted space. . . Captain Jonathan Archer and the crew of the Starship Enterprise™ find their way forward blocked by a mysterious alien vessel piloted by a race they will soon come to know as the Antianna. Unable to decipher the alien ships transmissions unwilling to risk a battle Enterprise is forced to veer from its planned course. Almost immediately they find themselves in the heart of space ruled by the Thelasian Trading Confederacy who have also had dealings with the Antianna. The Thelasian leader Governor Maxim Sen is in fact in the middle of organizing a war against the Antianna to eliminate the threat they pose to the Confederacys trading routes. Archer suspects Sen has other motives as well. He also suspects that there is a reason for the Antiannas seemingly hostile posture. But with the assembled races of an entire sector against him he needs more than just suspicions. He needs facts. And only one woman can give them to him: Ensign Hoshi Sato. If she can translate the Antianna language peace may just be possible. If not war -- a devastating sector-wide war -- will soon result.
