First contact occurred between Ransom's graduating from Starfleet Academy and his promotion to captain, which was in 2367 at the latest, based on knowledge of his encounter with a Klingon Bird of Prey in that year. Assuming that Branson's age in 2375 was 50, like John Savage, first contact was probably at most 30 years before 2367
