History

• unknown: Due to the extreme compatibility/similarity of Centauran and Human DNA, as well as being the closest star systems to each other, there is a strong hypothesis that Alpha Centauri Prime was settled by Humans before the planet's recorded history.

• 1860: The Plague Wars begin when one of two competing city-state alliances on Alpha Centauri Prime releases biological weapons on the other.

The year is uncertain, but it "lasted over a decade"

• 1871: An Emergency Medical Council comprised of an international team of scientists and doctors develops an effective antiviral agent and vaccine for the plagues sweeping Alpha Centauri Prime.

• 1876: The discoverer of the plague vaccine, Dr. Kulei Asephas, is convinced to become the first global president of Alpha Centauri Prime of what will (eventually) become the Concordium of Planets.

• Prior to 2045: Earth-launched probes do a flyby scan of the system, sending back data supporting possible life.

• 12 May 2065: Earth explorer UNSS Icarus arrives in the system and begins a 13-month visit with the inhabitants.

• 2091: The Proxima Centauri colony is officially founded by the Earth Conestoga colonizer Spirit.

• 2098: Zefram Cochrane relocates from Earth to Oreas on Alpha Centauri Prime.

• 2155: Alpha Centauri, Andor, Earth, Tellar, Vulcan, and minor worlds (including Axanar and Kaferia) approve a first draft agreement for an alliance to be formed for trade, cultural exchange, and mutual protection.

• 2161: The governments of Alpha Centauri, Andor, Earth, Tellar, and Vulcan sign the Articles of the Federation; Alpha Centauri joins the United Federation of Planets.

• 2217: Tritanium-hulled ship construction, including that of the Ranger and Triumphant sub-classes, begins in the Procyon and Alpha Centauri systems.

• Prior to 2231: Star Fleet decides to provide five transportable drydocks to Alpha Centauri to begin immediate production on the Rochester class cruisers.
