First Contact

First Contact refers to the holiday commemorating the day the Human race encountered the first alien race. It is celebrated yearly on June 12, SET. On this day in 2438, explorer Vernon Tar made first contact with the Banu.

Vernon Tar had encountered the fugitive Banu in the outskirts of the Davien system. After mistakenly opening fire on the Banu's vessel, Tar relayed his coordinates to the United Nations of Earth (UNE). A delegation party led by General Neal Socolovich was immediately dispatched to the system to undo any diplomatic fallout and open communication.
