Humanity Emerges
Though Humanity had become warp capable in 2062, it was some time before it had
recovered enough from the Third World War to return to space in force and on its own
initiative.
2063 Zephram Cochrane makes three more warp flights within the solar system this
year before he turns all his attention to the development of the SS Valiant.
2066 The first Human Deep Space Mission is launched with the SS Valiant.
2067 Preparations for the Second large scale human interstellar warp expedition are
finished and the ES Icarus is launched from Earth orbit, its 40 person crew aimed for
Alpha Centauri, meanwhile the Vulcans who have refused to participate in the expedition
are alarmed and keep a watchful eye on the newcomers.
2067 John Burke of the newly reestablished Royal Academy in Greenwich is the first
Human to map an area of space that contains Sherman's Planet.
2067 With the memory that previous manned deep-space exploration attempts had
ultimately failed, a new approach, using an unmanned probe named Friendship 1, leaves
Earth with a message of peace, warp technology instructions, and an invitation to visit
Earth.
2069, July Despite constant Vulcan resistance and interference and the apparent failure
of the Friendship One mission the newly reestablished New United Nations manages to
design and launch the Franklin Series of Warp-driven message probes into deep space in
the next thirty years some 380 are launched but only three will ever produce any results.

2070 The ES Icarus returns from its three year mission to report that formal relations
have been established with the very Human like Centauri.
2070 The New Untied Nations reaffirms the worlds commitment to the United Space
Initiative which had been signed over seventy years before. What precious resources
Earth has remaining are given over to this effort to return man to the stars.
2070 June 2072 October Ten fusion-driven ships with warp backup are completed and
launched. With souls dissatisfied with Earth, even a reconstructed one, these ship venture
out to establish some of humanities first deep space colonies [0/7006-0/7210]
2071 2081 The Last Campaigns are fought which finish off the small remaining
pockets of chaos which have persisted since the end of the Third World War in several
areas of Asia, North America, and Europe. Many Vulcan commentators are shocked with

the near barbarity seen in some of these areas and campaigns noting that even the simple
premise of justice has been subverted to anarchies purpose. The Earth Commentaries
written about them by Turak are considered both a military and philosophical classic.
2073 July 2077, June A joint Human and Alpha Centauri effort leads to the
development of the Bonaventure class deep space explorer which is also the first human
vessel which bears any armament, a single monochromatic high intensity laser. This is all
done of course under intense Vulcan observation.
2075 The Xenobiological Probability Study, underwritten by the newly founded
University of Luna located in San Francisco on Earth is released to the public its
conclusion that humanoid life forms are the dominant biological form and that contact
with any non-humanoid life form is highly unlikely. The University of Luna is one of
three institutions which will one day combine to form Starfleet Academy in 2162.
2076, May The University of Luna receives the first installment of the famed Vulcan
Database which is a collection of nearly 2000 years worth of Vulcan space exploration
though immense in size its limited and shallow scope and depth surprises many. Many
on earth are now openly and publicly doubting the Vulcans commitment to allowing
unhindered Earth exploration.
2077 The ES Bonaventure, the first of a new class begins its two year mission to the
Tau Ceti star system 12 light years away from Earth.
2079 The ES Powell is launched and is dedicated to the single mission of making
voyages between Earth and Alpha Centauri. On its first mission its most important
passenger is simply listed as one Zephram Cochrane, American Aerospace Engineer.
2081 2095 The Renewal Project is carried out by Human and Alpha Centauri
scientist and engineers the first phase consists of restoring Earths oceans and waterways
followed by Soil reclamation projects.
2082, July 17 On its second exploratory mission the ES Bonaventure discovers the
inhabited world which it names Axanar through a faulty understanding of the Axanari
language it is in fact pronounced Achennar. The discovery of this intelligent but non
space faring race causes a minor stir on Earth.
2086, February Earth rebuilds and re-commissions the International Space Station
signaling a return of permanent manned orbital presence. [-1/8602]
2091, March The New United Nations establishes Solar Fleet Earths first effort at an
organized space fleet tasked with rescue and the defense of the solar system and its
colonies. Solar Fleet is considered to be one of many the precursors of Starfleet. [0/3203]
2093, October The Renewal Project reports that for the first time in nearly forty years
Earth produces enough crops to feed itself and still have a surplus.

2095 Doctor E A. Hutchinson leading professor of Physical Science at Luna University

writes for the first time of what he terms Plasma communication technology this
technology will one day enable real time communication between all points within the
Solar system.
2097, April 18 A joint effort between the North American Union and Japan establishes
the first permanently manned lunar base. All earth celebrates a long hoped for dream.
[-1/9704.18]
2100, January 1 The small colony which has grown up around the lunar base proclaims
its independence from the North American Union and Japan and is accepted as a
protectorate of the New United Nations.[0/0001.01]
2101 - Earths population is reported to be at mid-Twentieth Century levels, most of its
wild life has been decimated but what remains is now thriving and for the first time it is
possible to drink water fresh from a mountain stream.
2103 The first Martian colony is established as a New United Nations protectorate.
2104 The Second Lunar base is established on the farside of the moon earning the name
Farside Moon Base, its ultra modern space telescope is built with Vulcan assistance.

2104, November 17 Alpha Centauran Zancmar Hodgkins a visiting guest lecturer at
USC Berkley on Earth publishes his book entitled Law of Parallel Planetary
Development, stating that similar planets will develop similar life forms with similar
cultures. Though his Law will be misunderstood for centuries (i.e Hodgkins never
stated that planets would develop complete copies of another planets civilization) it
becomes the foundation of all future Social and Life Science perspectives for evaluating
new civilizations and cultures. [0/5303]
2105 The Centauri make 1st Contact with a Tellarite Trader, The Tellarites however
remain aloof from contact with Earth in honor of several treaties made with the Vulcans
one hundred years before.[0/7308.20]
2105, August the first series of Plasma Weapons enters Solar Fleet service both the EM
3 and 6 are considered dangerous by nearly all who use them and are soon discontinued.
Later refinements to there basic design leads to the introduction of the EM 13 and 16
weapons in 2107.
2107 A brief skirmish between a European Union vessel and a South American trader
over trading rights near Centauri space forces a temporary break in relations between the
Alpha Centauri and Earth.

Merchant fleet for the next 40 years.
2113, January 1 After a millennium of hope and dreams and fifty years of true effort not
to mention Vulcan and Centauri prodding Earth is at last unified into one single body
though some hold outs remain such as Australia.
2113, March 2 The United Earth Space Probe Agency is founded to coordinate all of
Earths space based exploratory and scientific efforts of its existence it will have to relay
on Solar Fleet and later Starfleet vessels as a base of operations
2114, April 30 Overcoming long held fears and phobias about nuclear power the new
United Earth Republic begins construction of a large scale Fusion powered power system
grid for the planet.
2115 Plasma Cannons enter service aboard Solar Fleet Vessels for the first time, they
are the first practical energy alternative to missile (torpedo) based weapons to enter the
arsenal of Solar Fleet.
2116, September the London-Moscow Maglev line is opened for service it is the first of
the new 800 kph rail lines to enter service for public transport, the older New YorkMexico City line used for Commercial traffic since its opening in 2108 is upgraded to the
new technology by the end of the month.
2117 After a short period of conflict the newly established and growing Martian
colonies declare themselves independent from Earth control becoming the first such
Human colony to do so. The Fundamental Declaration of the Martian Colonies, its
declaration of independence, is considered a landmark document in both Human and
Federation history. [0/6201]
2118 With the end of the long crisis with Earth, several new treaties establishing even
closer Cultural and Scientific ties between Earth and Alpha Centauri are signed. [0/6300]
2119 The Warp 5 Complex is established to create technology that will allow humans to
more safely explore deep space. Zephram Cochrane is present during the dedication
ceremony. Zephram Cochrane now advanced in years, and a resident of the Alpha
Centauri system, soon takes off for "parts unknown."
2120 After three large scale attacks destroying the London-Moscow maglev line in
three separate places a group calling itself the Party of the People for a free Earth
announce there presence. This terrorist group, actually a loosely organized confederation
of Anti unity and progress groups, is more or less ruthlessly hunted down over the new
three years.
2121, July 2126, April 17 Solar Fleet successfully test and deploys a Plasma
Communication system between Earth and Mars with the use of Plasma Monitors. E. A

Hutchinson the inventor of the technology is on hand to send the first Message it simply
consist of the professor saying Hello Mars. [0/7404.17]
2123 As part of what is latter termed the Second Human Diaspora (the first being the
ten fusion driven space arks launched fifty years before) a privately-funded ship, the
Mariposa, leaves Earth carrying two groups of colonists bound for the Ficus sector and
the two planets selected as their new homelands.
2125 Solar Fleet forces operating in deep space near the Ort cloud are attacked by the
Vegan Tyranny, several more encounters ensue. With the increasing danger the Alpha
Centauri trade route is nearly cut off before the Vulcans guarantee its safety with there
own more advanced starships.
2126 The EM 23 and 26 Plasma weapons are introduced into Solar Fleet service.
Further advancements made in transtator technology leads to the first wide scale use of
the first practical communicator and Tricorder devices in Solar Fleet Service.
2129 Earth and Vulcan enter into a series of defense pacts which includes an ad hoc
military alliance and Solar fleet vessels join Vulcan ones in patrolling the Centauri trade
route however it is obvious that Earths fleet is the very junior partner in the effort.
2131 Earth Solar fleet vessels operating in a joint exercise with the Vulcans and
Centauri cause through there own inexperience several accidents resulting in some loss of
life. All such further exercises are cancelled.
2135 After several reforms the Earth Republic establishes Star Fleet as Earths primary
exploratory and defense body outside of the Solar system, Solar Fleet remains in
operation as a purely local force. Once of its first task is to establish basing ability
through construction of an orbital station and stardock above Earth (Mckinley Station)
and a similar one above Mars.
2137 October 2138 June - The first joint scientific project between Earth, Alpha
Centauri and Vulcan shows tangible benefits when a new series of research probes are

entering and leaving the solar system. [0/3901]
2141, May Starfleet (Earth) commissions Jupiter Station as a major logistics and refit
facility for its vessels which at this moment consists largely of an odd assortment of
former ships of the old national fleets and Solar Fleet.
2143, September 17 the first usable cargo transporter is invented on Alpha Centauri by a
joint Earth Centauran research team.

2144, December First contact is made between Earth and the Orions near Pluto the
Solar Fleet task force in the area investigates the lone Orion ship and after an unusual
confrontation, and later Vulcan advisement against, Orions are granted visiting privileges
to the Sol system.
2145, August An unknown disease brought in from an Orion trader infects the Pluto
base and kills nearly all of its 200 person crew. Luckily at the same time a Denobulan
explorer is passing by and makes 1st Contact and its medical personnel are able to save
the remaining personnel.
2145, October In the first large scale example of intergalactic defense cooperation the
Alpha Centauri designed but Sol built Djartanna class destroyer enters service with both
Starfleet and Solar Fleet.

to enter a new era.
2146, December in what it terms its Christmas gift to all the world the Warp 5 project
informs the Earth government that it has developed a practical Warp 5 engine. The result
is instant debate as to weather or not to go for steam ahead on a starship project.
2147, April 16 After four months of constant debate Starfleet announces its intent,
against Vulcan urging not to, to build a new Warp 5 capable explorer vessel for the
service it will be the first of hopefully seven planned ships all with the most advanced
technology known to mankind.
2147, May More advancements in transtator technology allows communications to leap
forward again when the first practical Universal Translator prototype is field tested
aboard the SS Shenandoah.
2149 Refinements in Transporter technology allow Starfleet to field test the first
practical Bio- transporter capable of transporting a living being. However it is still for
Emergency use only.
2150 The first of the new Warp five ships designated SS Enterprise (NX-01), meaning
Naval Experimental Design 01 simply meaning the First (And Only) design submitted is
nearing completion in orbit above Earth. Meanwhile two other new classes are under
advisement the NX-12 which will become the Messier class escort and the NX-22 which
will become the Daedalus class Explorer.
Starfleet has ambitious plans for the next ten years it is hoped that all three new vessel
designs will totally refit its aging and ad hoc fleet into a modern force by 2160. These
plans are well under way until news reaches Starfleet command of an incident at Broken
bow Oklahoma in April.

2151 The adventures that are related in the first season of the ENTERPRISE TV series
occur.
2152 The adventures that are related in the second season of the ENTERPRISE TV
series occur.
2155, April A Series of meetings takes place on Vulcan attended by Delegates of the
five major space faring governments (Vulcan, Alpha Centauri, Tellar, Terra, and Andor).
This attempt to establish a single, unifying government fails to receive popular support
because its primary goals and policies are not adequately defined. Diplomats agree to
work on defining the roles and responsibilities of any such future government.
2155, November 3 The SS Atlas, a Human cargo ship operating near the frontier of
human explored space is attacked and destroyed, though this is not known until the
recovery of its marker/recorder buoy containing a complete record of the events
preceding the Atlass destruction.
2155, November 17 After failing to arrive as scheduled at sector 5D Agricultural
colony, the SS Atlas is listed as overdue and missing.

only then that it is fond out that the Atlas was destroyed by the Romulans.
2156, October 18 the SS Amaretto, operating in known chartered territory is attacked
by two Romulan warships unprovoked and without warning. The freighter is severely
damaged before the NX-12 Messier arrives to defend her as the Romulan vessels make a
hasty retreat.
2156, December With growing tension along the Romulan border Earth President
Christopher Thorpe meets with high ranking Starfleet officials. All attempts to contact
the Romulans have been ignored or worse attacked upon so Thorpe decides that unless
further events direct otherwise Earth is at war with the Romulan Star Empire. Instantly
upon notification all sub-sectors within Sectors 5, 7, and 10 go to Code 1 war alert status.
