Historical Events
- The first official diplomatic expedition from Vulcan arrives on Earth and influences talks that result in the Sparon-DeSoto treaty, that forces the national militaries to crew their armed spacecraft with international members. This results in the Liberty class ships transferring from United States Air Force control to that of the International Space Agency.[2]
- The date of the Sparon-DeSoto treaty is unknown, so it is assumed to have come about as a product of the Vulcan diplomatic mission.
- The Phoenix is retired and the warp section stored in a high orbit.[3]
- The infrastructure to build warp engines is being erected at breakneck pace, revitalizing transportation and communication and totally relocating the industry in a way that makes many former political boundaries meaningless.[3]
- The New United Nations is resurrected (though it will be only a matter of years until it again collapses, giving way to a truly unified world government).[3] The Earth Cargo Authority is one of its first established departments.[4]
- January: By this time, the Bonaventure has 2 warp coil assemblies and a fusion powerplant installed.[5]
- The first "operational warp sortie" as a long-term shakedown cruise is assumed, but intended to allow for a longer journey to Tau Ceti the next year.
- April: The SS Defiant is destroyed in a region of space later found to be claimed by the Barrier Alliance.[6]
- 12 May: UNSS Icarus arrives in the Alpha Centauri system, extended their sensor gear, and were hit by radio-frequency broadcasts, low enough in power not to be discernible outside the systems’ ionization bubbles but still undoubtedly marks of advanced civilizations. A first contact report is radioed back to Earth.[7][4]
- The ship would visit the inhabitants of the system for 13 months, before departing for home.
- 14 December: The Jules Verne, Verne class, completes its first warp run, initiated safely outside the orbit of Uranus.[9]
