The Starfleet was founded sometime in the 2130s with the goal of "...[seeking] out new life and new civilizations," and "...[going] boldly where no man has gone before," a goal derived from a speech by Zefram Cochrane, the inventor of warp drive on Earth. With the development of the warp five engine by the 2150s under the NX program, the Starfleet was able to truly reach out to the stars when their first NX-class vessel, the Enterprise, was launched in 2151 under the command of Captain Jonathan Archer. By 2154, the second NX-class ship, the Columbia, was launched under the command of Captain Erika Hernandez. (ENT: "Broken Bow", "Affliction")
