The Reed family is an Earth family of British descent.
Several generations of this family served in the Royal Navy on Earth, including Malcolm Reed's grandfather, who served as an ordnance officer, and his father (ENT: "Silent Enemy").
His great-uncle, an aquaphobe, served as chief engineer aboard the submarine HMS Clement. On a routine patrol, his ship struck a mine left over from a previous world war. As the ship was stuck under an ice shelf, he sealed himself in the engine room, where he kept the reactor online for long enough for his crewmates to escape. When pinned onto the Enterprise's hull by a Romulan mine, Reed recounted this story to Captain Archer. (ENT: "Minefield")
Hoshi Sato once contacted Malcolm's uncle Archie and his two unmarried aunts, in an attempt to find out what food Malcolm liked to eat. Unfortunately, none were able to give her an answer. (ENT: "Silent Enemy")
Malcolm Reed was the first family member who joined Earth Starfleet. (ENT: "Silent Enemy")
