History

• By the 4th century: Vulcan is rife with violence and war, arising from the desire for conquest and need for water resources.

• By the 9th century: Vulcans establish a monastery on the world of P'Jem.

• 1270: An armada of invading spaceships pour forth from a new wormhole that has formed near Vulcan and opens intermittently.

• 1376: The intermittent wormhole closes for the final time; the invaders are hunted down and destroyed at their forward bases within the star system, but their identities are never discovered.

The year is SFC-specific; derived from "after a century of constant warfare...".

• April 5th 2063: Vulcans make (official) first contact with the Humans.

• 2135: By this time, Vulcan has the following colonies:
  • Calanara
  • Chara
  • Harmony
  • P'Jem
  • Paan Mokar
  • T'Rukhemai (moon of T'Rukh)
  • Trilan

• 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; Vulcan joins the United Federation of Planets.

• 2218: A Vulcan nationalist group, similar to Earth First, starts to gain support, due in part to increasing Klingon hostility.
