2063

Historical Events

• 05 April: Zefram Cochrane tests the Phoenix, demonstrating warp drive by achieving Warp 1 for approximately one minute in the Sol system.

The Guide has the launch and first contact event occuring a day earlier; the assumption follows the canon Star Trek: First Contact movie.

• 05 April: A passing Vulcan ship, the T'Plana-Hath, detects the warp signature and lands in Bozeman later that evening, officially making first contact with Humans.
• 28 April: Zefram Cochrane releases all documents on his warp technology into the public domain.
• Four new Liberty hulls have been launched to orbit for installation of systems, in a desperate bid to show teeth in front of the Vulcan expeditions.

The source says that six hulls have been launched by early 2064, so the assumption is that a majority of them were launched post-First Contact in 2063.

• In light of the recent development of warp technology, production on the STL DY-300 model ceases and development of a warp-capable model (DY-430) is begun.

Conjecture, based on the description of the DY-430 as a warp-capable version of the DY-300.
