On April 5, 2063, Vulcans and Humans made official first contact following the successful test of Earth's first warp-powered starship, as depicted in Star Trek: First Contact. There is no mention of First Contact in TOS. I remember seeing the landing scene from First Contact on tv when I was young, so I always kind of assumed that first contact was with the Vulcans and it was a known thing in Trek. Captain Picard and his crew pursue them to ensure that Zefram Cochrane makes his maiden flight reaching warp speed. The doors open, and Zefram Cochrane makes Earth's first contact with an alien race — the Vulcans. It's got a little bit of everything. This was the official timeline until TNG. This action will lead to first contact with the Vulcans, who are passing through the sector at the moment the warp drive engages. For those who remember what it was like before, was it ever revealed in Trek canon before FC that it was the Vulcans or was that some big reveal? There are even elements from this movie that work they way into Star Trek Enterprise, which occurred 200 years before TNG, but about 30 years after the Earth scenes of First Contact. The Borg want to stop Zefram Cochrane from creating the warp drive system and testing it; this event initiates first contact with the Vulcans. Plus one of the Vulcans that worked with T'Pol's great grandmother was supposed to have stayed on Earth for the rest of his life. However, in 1980 a book titled Star Trek Spaceflight Chronology listed first contact with the Vulcans as 2065. And Dax was on Earth in 2024. So that's fun. A whole day before first contact with the Vulcans. (That reference is a whole thing) Vulcans get all uncomfortable when people are dancing to rock and roll music. Picard and his crew beam out, having witnessed this historic event, and the U.S.S Enterprise NCC 1701 -E returns to the 24th century. [/caption] According to Star Trek lore, it is only 51 years until humans encounter their first contact with an alien species. First Contact has the relentless alien presence of the Borg, time travel, a visit to Earth, a key moment of Trek lore (successful warp drive), Vulcans and some engagingly goofy moments of banter. Directed by Jonathan Frakes. First Contact brought new lore to the Star Trek universe, as well as new types of ships and pre-warp technology. In 2097, the Vulcans annexed the Andorian planetoid Weytahn and renamed it Pan Mokar. And technically, Troi counts too, as a half-Betazoid. TNG apparently started playing with the timeline and later when Star Trek: First Contact came out, the date was changed to 2063. And Kira in the 1960s and late 2040s. The Borg travel back in time intent on preventing Earth's first contact with an alien species. In 2105, the Vulcans and the Andorians agreed to a compromise over Weytahn/Pan Mokar. Another version of humanity’s first contact with the Vulcans can be found in Margaret Wander Bonanno’s novel Strangers from the Sky, published way back in 1987. With Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, Brent Spiner, LeVar Burton. In the movie "First contact", near the end:We see Cochrane, Riker and Laforge in "The Phoenix" for humanity's first warp drive launch.
