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.[2]
- 2098: Zefram Cochrane relocates from Earth to Oreas on Alpha Centauri Prime.[2]
- 2217: Tritanium-hulled ship construction, including that of the Ranger and Triumphant sub-classes, begins in the Procyon and Alpha Centauri systems.[3]
- Prior to 2231: Star Fleet decides to provide five transportable drydocks to Alpha Centauri to begin immediate production on the Rochester class cruisers.[4]
