Vulcan captain, first contact

Human-Vulcan first contact in 2063

Mirror universe

  • April 5th - Zefram Cochrane launches the Phoenix, mankind's first manned warp capable ship, from a remote location in the continental United States of America. Its brief warp flight is detected by a Vulcan survey ship, the T'Plana-Hath, passing through the local sector, and the ship changes course to investigate. This leads to the historic First Contact between Humans and extraterrestrial life. Upon its landing, Cochrane killed the first Vulcan to set foot on Earth. This action resulted in the early expansion of the Terran Empire, allowing Humans to drastically increase their technological capability and begin a campaign of warfare and conquest.
