EventsEdit

• On Earth, Zefram Cochrane mentions details about First Contact with the Vulcans on April 5, 2063 in a commencement address at Princeton University, revealing what "really" happened during the events leading up to First Contact. He claimed that it involved "a group of cybernetic creatures from the future" who attempted to prevent the successful warp flight of the Phoenix and whose ultimate goal was the enslavement of humanity. According to Cochrane, they were defeated by a group of Humans who were also from the future and who had seemingly followed them back through time. However, his remarks were largely shrugged off by his audience given his tendency toward imaginative stories and intoxication and Cochrane recanted his own statements several years later.
