Events
- A Vulcan ship crosses into Klingon space near H'atoria, and is immediately attacked and destroyed by the Klingons. In the aftermath, Vulcans establish a policy of firing first when encountering Klingons, earning their respect and eventually leading to the establishment of formal relations. (DIS: "The Vulcan Hello")
While it is not explicitly stated, this is strongly implied to be the first contact between Vulcans and Klingons.
