Events
- 4 April 2063: A Borg sphere appears in orbit of Earth and attacks Bozeman, Montana, from orbit in an attempt to kill Zefram Cochrane and prevent First Contact between Earth and Vulcan. The sphere is destroyed by the USS Enterprise, which pursued the sphere from the year 2373. Borg drones beam aboard the Enterprise and attempt to assimilate the ship, but are thwarted by Captain Jean-Luc Picard and Lt. Cmdr. Data. Meanwhile, Enterprise personnel aid in the repair of the Phoenix, Cochrane's ship, and convince Cochrane to go ahead with his historic first demonstration of warp drive. The influence of the future goes unrecorded in history. [1]
- 5 April 2063: Zefram Cochrane tests the Phoenix, demonstrating warp drive by achieving Warp 1 for approximately one minute in the Sol system. A passing Vulcan ship, the T'Plana-Hath, detects the warp signature and lands in Bozeman later that evening, officially making first contact with Humans. [1]
- 6 April 2063: The New New York Times publishes an article about First contact between Humans and Vulcans.[2]
