Historical Events

• In Earth's own first initiated First Contact, the SS Leif Eirickson arrives in orbit of Tellar. The ship radios home the report of contact with another sentient, space-going species, though the transmission won't arrive until 2284.
• The remains of the pre-war defense net of Earth detected a small vessel of unknown configuration entering a Neptunian approach corridor claimed by both Texan and Central African gas mining corporations. A task force of ten ships, led by the Liberty class USS Bonhomme Richard, intercepted a Tellarite explorer-merchantman, unknowingly the second contact with that species within mere days.
