History
- unknown: Due to the extreme compatibility/similarity of Centaurian 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.[1]
- Prior to 2045: Earth-launched probes do a flyby scan of the system, sending back data supporting possible life.[1]
- 12 May 2065: Earth explorer UNSS Icarus arrives in the system and begins a 13-month visit with the inhabitants.[2][1]
- 2091: The Proxima Centauri colony is officially founded by the Earth Conestoga colonizer Spirit.[3]
- 2098: Zefram Cochrane relocates from Earth to Oreas on Alpha Centauri Prime.[1]
- 2155: Earth, Andor, Vulcan, Tellar, Alpha Centauri and minor worlds (including Axanar and Kaferia) approve the first draft an agreement for an alliance to be formed for trade, cultural exchange, and for mutual protection.[4]
- 2217: Tritanium-hulled ship construction, including that of the Ranger and Triumphant sub-classes, begins in the Procyon and Alpha Centauri systems.[5]
- Prior to 2231: Star Fleet decides to provide five transportable drydocks to Alpha Centauri to begin immediate production on the Rochester class cruisers.[6]
