The second wave occured years later after the initial success of the starship Enterprise NX-01, Captained by Johnathan Archer. Various factions, regions or other groups saw colonization of the stars as the future for the human race. These organizations examined the intel sent home by both the Enterprise and deep space freighters. After the founding of the Federation in 2161 they were also able to access the records of the Vulcan, Andorian and Tellerite space missions. | The second wave occured years later after the initial success of the starship Enterprise NX-01, Captained by Johnathan Archer.

This took a huge dent out of the cost of founding the colony. As a result it was the largest colony created by the United Kingdoms. | The United Kingdoms approached the Federation, offering to supply the workers for the project. Their offer was accepted.
