Below is the speech given by United Earth Secretary General Thorin Brush to the World Assembly at Geneva. December 15, 2157 reflecting the status of Earth's stance towards the allied worlds in the Alpha Quadrant.
"On December 15, 2157, it was with great pleasure and deeply reflecting our pride as a species that the instrument here after known as the Geneva Directives had been drafted and enacted. This same day, orders have been issued to all law enforcement bodies to search out, apprehend and detain, and if necessary. Dispose of those discovered to not be compliant with the spirit and letter of our new society's directives. As a species. We have a responsibility to maintain our purity, both genetically and ideologically. For well nigh onto a century, we had been the pawns of the Vulcans despite the so called promises of aid, they had consistently frustrated us, held us back in our quest to forge our own path to the stars. Worse yet. Their promise of protection became a hollow mockery when we inevitably came under attack by another interstellar race referred to as the Xindi.
It has come the time for us to step up and clean house and declare to the universe that it is us who are born to rule. We have a manifest destiny to purge the unclean from our ranks as we would a cancer from our bodies. To take our rule to the stars. It is mans ideas, laws and resolve. To rule and subjugate those lesser than our selves. We shall take our place as lords of this, our home and all worlds we lay claim to.
It has come to our attention, and no explanation can be given for the sudden disappearance of a significant portion of our population. It is confidently known that all had been known to have ties with non-human entities and their influence. Good riddance. There are still many who harbor a preference for alien influence to which their end will be handled as decisively as possible.
Citizens. Please join us in our mission to make our world the leader we were predestined to become. Thank You."
Address broadcast 1600 hrs Zulu, local time. By 2000 hrs, the worlds of Vulcana Rheagar, Andor, Teller Prime and Kitittan had declared war on Terra of Sol. By 0001, December 16, 2157. Nine earth star ships were discovered to have went missing. December 28, 2157. The Star fleet scout ship Pele came out of warp, impacted the atmosphere, ultimately colliding with Mt Rainier. The resulting explosion and slides destroyed a significant portion of the Puget Sound region.. An area running from Olympia to Everett had been buried under tons of rock. A resulting dust cloud had been shot up into the atmosphere and had been carried east by the prevailing winds all the way beyond Yellowstone, creating a nuclear winter. There was no explanation for the solar flare that erupted approximately 9 minutes after Pele's impact, which enveloped the earth knocking out satellites and sending all able ships to warp out to the edge of the system until the Sun could settle. It became a very bad time to be on earth
