==History== [[File:Earth Comm Badge.png|thumb|The symbol of ''United Earth'' as a comm badge]] ===Distant past=== [[Pre-22nd Century#4,500,000,000 years ago|4.5 Billion years ago]], Earth was seeded with humanoid life by the [[Preserver]]s. The first actual life on Earth appeared 3.5 billion years ago, over time evolving into two sentient species, [[Voth]] and [[Human]]s. Several million years ago, the Voth left Earth, leaving Humanity to become the sole sentient, humanoid species on the planet. ===Space exploration=== Compared to their galactic neighbors, [[Human]]s began the exploration of space comparatively recently. They achieved powered atmospheric flight at the beginning of the [[Pre-22nd Century#20th Century|20th century]], and rapidly progressed to short-range space flight based on chemical rocketry within the next 60 years. In the [[Pre-22nd Century#20th Century|1960s]], [[Human]]s started to explore their own [[Sol System|solar system]], including manned landings on Earth's satellite [[Luna]]. Over the next few decades, they also sent out numerous unmanned probes which landed on, flew by, or orbited [[Mars]], {{MAlpha|Venus}}, and the other planets of the [[Sol System]]. In [[Pre-22nd Century#2063|2063]], despite the post atomic horror from world war 3, humanity's first warp flight was conducted by [[Zefram Cochrane]], leading to the [[First Contact Day|First Contact]] between [[Vulcan]]s and [[Human]]s. They quickly established a {{MAlpha|United Earth}} government and a number of offworld colonies. Earth operated a number of low-speed warp freighters under the Earth Cargo Authority, and later a military force was established, known as [[Starfleet]], and based in [[San Francisco]] on the North American continent. [[File:Enterprise NX-01.png|thumb|''Enterprise'', Earth's first vessel capable of warp 5. She played an instrumental part in the formation of the Federation]] It was not until almost a [[22nd Century#2151|century later]], that [[Starfleet]] launched its first deep-space exploration vessel, [[Enterprise (NX-01)|''Enterprise'']], which was capable of Warp 5. At this time, [[Starfleet]] also operated a number of slower ships used for short range military and exploratory operations and for planetary defense. In the years following the launch of ''Enterprise'', Earth began to play an increasingly important role in the politics of the [[Alpha Quadrant|Alpha]] and [[Beta Quadrant]]. By [[22nd Century#2155|2155]] Earth had allied itself with [[Tellar]], [[Vulcan]], and [[Andoria]], and made contact with the [[Klingon Empire]]. Earth and its allies also fought a war with the [[Romulan Star Empire]] in the 2150s. In [[22nd Century#2161|2161]] the anti-Romulan alliance became permanent as the [[United Federation of Planets]], with the Earth city of Paris becoming its main seat of government, and [[Starfleet]] becoming the military arm of the Federation government. (Inscriptions at [[Starfleet Academy]] date its founding to this year, although the Academy was almost certainly established some years earlier.) During the [[23rd Century|23rd]] and [[24th Century|24th century]] several [[Starfleet]] facilities were built in Earth's orbit, including [[Earth Space Dock]] and the [[San Francisco Fleet Yards]]. ===24th century=== Even though Earth has been considered a peaceful, almost utopian world for centuries, the planet has come under severe threats by alien forces several times since the late [[24th Century|24th century]]. Most notably, the Borg tried to assimilate Earth in [[24th Century#2367|2367]] and [[24th Century#2373|2373]], and the planet was attacked by [[Breen]] forces during the [[Dominion War]] in [[24th Century#2375|2375]]. In [[2409]] it is discovered that Earth is actively monitored by the [[Iconian]]s, among several other planet in the [[Milky Way]].
