Biography
Zefram Cochrane
He lived when Earth had been devastated by World War III where one of the aggressors was a faction known as ECON. (Movie: Star Trek: First Contact)
During the 2060s, Cochrane and his team of engineers began developing the warp drive. (Movie: Star Trek: First Contact)
Cochrane's primary motivation at the time for commencing warp technology was financial gain in the devastated, poverty-stricken America that existed in the wake of the Third World War. He finally built Earth's first warp ship, the Phoenix, in the hope its success would prove profitable and allow him to retire to a tropical island filled with naked women. A historical irony was that, contrary to the fact he went on to use the Phoenix to inaugurate an era of peace, Cochrane incorporated a weapon of mass destruction into its design; he constructed the Phoenix in a silo on a missile complex and used a Titan II missile as his launch vehicle. (Movie: Star Trek: First Contact)
