2063

Historical Events

• 01 January: A major shift occurs in Earth's global economy.

• 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 occurring 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.

• 26 April: Zefram Cochrane releases all documents on his warp technology into the public domain.

Three weeks after the T’Plana-Hath lands on Earth.

• Four new Liberty hulls are 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.
