2063 – 2156

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 owninitiative.

2063 !ephram "ochrane ma#es three more warp flights within the solar system this

year before he turns all his attention to the development of the $$ %aliant.

2066 The first Human &eep $pace 'ission is launched with the $$ %aliant.

206( )reparations for the $econd large scale human interstellar warp e*pedition arefinished and the +$ carus is launched from +arth orbit, its -0 person crew aimed for

lpha "entauri, meanwhile the %ulcan/s who have refused to participate in the e*pedition

are alarmed and #eep a watchful eye on the newcomers.

206( ohn 1ur#e of the newly reestablished oyal cademy in reenwich is the first

Human to map an area of space that contains $herman4s )lanet.

206( With the memory that previous manned deep5space e*ploration attempts had

ultimately failed, a new approach, using an unmanned probe named riendship 7, leaves

+arth with a message of peace, warp technology instructions, and an invitation to visit+arth.

2068, uly &espite constant %ulcan resistance and interference and the apparent failure

of the riendship 9ne mission the newly reestablished :ew ;nited :ations manages todesign and launch the ran#lin $eries of Warp5driven message probes into deep space in

the ne*t thirty years some 36-0(?

20(0 The +$ carus returns from its three year mission to report that formal relations

have been established with the very Human li#e "entauri.

20(0 The :ew ;ntied :ations reaffirms the world/s commitment to the ;nited $pace

nitiative which had been signed over seventy years before. What precious resources+arth has remaining are given over to this effort to return man to the stars.

20(0 une 20(2 9ctober Ten fusion5driven ships with warp bac#up are completed andlaunched. With souls dissatisfied with +arth, even a reconstructed one, these ship venture

out to establish some of humanities first deep space colonies =0>(00650>(270?

the near barbarity seen in some of these areas and campaigns noting that even the simple

 premise of Custice has been subverted to anarchies purpose. The +arth "ommentaries

written about them by Tura# are considered both a military and philosophical classic.

20(3 uly 20((, une Coint Human and lpha "entauri effort leads to the

development of the 1onaventure class deep space e*plorer which is also the first humanvessel which bears any armament, a single monochromatic high intensity laser. This is all

done of course under intense %ulcan observation.

20(D The Eenobiological )robability $tudy, underwritten by the newly founded

;niversity of Auna located in $an rancisco on +arth is released to the public its

conclusion that humanoid life forms are the dominant biological form and that contact

with any non5humanoid life form is highly unli#ely. The ;niversity of Auna is one ofthree institutions which will one day combine to form $tarfleet cademy in 2762.

20(6, 'ay The ;niversity of Auna receives the first installment of the famed %ulcan

&atabase which is a collection of nearly 2000 years worth of %ulcan space e*plorationthough immense in siFe its limited and shallow scope and depth surprises many. 'any

on earth are now openly and publicly doubting the %ulcan/s commitment to allowingunhindered +arth e*ploration.

20(( The +$ 1onaventure, the first of a new class begins its two year mission to theTau "eti star system 72 light years away from +arth.

20(8 The +$ )owell is launched and is dedicated to the single mission of ma#ing

voyages between +arth and lpha "entauri. 9n its first mission its most important passenger is simply listed as one !ephram "ochrane, merican erospace +ngineer.

2726 The +' 23 and 26 )lasma weapons are introduced into $olar leet service.

2728 +arth and %ulcan enter into a series of defense pacts which includes an ad hoc

military alliance and $olar fleet vessels Coin %ulcan ones in patrolling the "entauri traderoute however it is obvious that +arth/s fleet is the very Cunior partner in the effort.

2737 +arth $olar fleet vessels operating in a Coint e*ercise with the %ulcan/s and"entauri cause through there own ine*perience several accidents resulting in some loss of 

life. ll such further e*ercises are cancelled.

273D fter several reforms the +arth epublic establishes $tar leet as +arths primarye*ploratory and defense body outside of the $olar system, $olar leet remains in

operation as a purely local force. 9nce of its first tas# is to establish basing ability

27-(, pril 76 fter four months of constant debate $tarfleet announces its intent,against %ulcan urging not to, to build a new Warp D capable e*plorer vessel for the

service it will be the first of hopefully seven planned ships all with the most advanced

technology #nown to man#ind.

27-(, 'ay 'ore advancements in transtator technology allows communications to leap

forward again when the first practical ;niversal Translator prototype is field tested

aboard the $$ $henandoah.

27-8 efinements in Transporter technology allow $tarfleet to field test the first

 practical 1io5 transporter capable of transporting a living being. However it is still for+mergency use only.

advisement the :E572 which will become the 'essier class escort and the :E522 which

will become the &aedalus class +*plorer.

$tarfleet has ambitious plans for the ne*t 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 2760. These plans are well under way until news reaches $tarfleet command of an incident at 1ro#en
