The seeds that resulted in the foundation of Starfleet were sown on the morning of April 4, 2063. On that day, Zefram Cochrane became the first human to travel faster than the speed of light. The Vulcan ship T'Plana-Hath happened to be passing through the system that same morning. The Vulcans, who had been aware of humans for some time but avoided contacting them due to their "primitive" nature, detected the Phoenix's warp flight. The ship's captain, Solkar, contacted the Vulcan High Command, and after much debate, deemed Earth suitable for contact. That evening, the Vulcans landed in Bozeman, Montana and asked to meet with the man who flew the Phoenix. Later, Captain Solkar met with various Earth leaders in San Francisco, on the same site where years earlier those leaders' predecessors signed a treaty to end the nuclear holocaust that had plagued the world for over two decades. Solkar described his race as a peaceful and logical people and pledged their help to Earth in their emerging interstellar age. A few weeks later, on August 15, the New United Nations declared the creation of the United Earth Space Probe Agency, a combination of the various space agencies that survived the Third World War. UESPA as it soon came to be known would quickly begin organizing a mass scramble into space, sending hundreds of probes and dozens of ships on missions of exploration within the next two decades.
