According to mirror Archer, the Vulcan first contact was considered a prelude to invasion. Instead of welcoming the Vulcans in a spirit of friendship and understanding, the mirror Cochrane killed the first Vulcan to set foot on Terran soil with a shotgun, as the he and his fellow Terrans boarded and ransacked the Vulcan ship after killing the first officer also. Upon detecting Zefram Cochrane's warp signature, the Vulcan scout ship T'Plana-Hath landed in Bozeman, Montana, to make first contact with Humanity. Humanity's first contact with an alien species in the mirror universe began exactly as it did in the traditional universe.

( DIS: " Die Trying")ĭuring a debrief at Starfleet Headquarters in the 32nd century, the former Terran emperor, Philippa Georgiou, revealed that an alternate First Contact Day was celebrated in the Terran Empire as a Holy Day, commemorating Zefram Cochrane's successful repulse of the first wave of a Vulcan invasion and the acquisition of Vulcan technology which was used to establish the Empire as a space-faring power. Philippa Georgiou claimed that the only motivation Terrans had for any given action was revenge.

Humans of the prime universe could be violent, but violence was so ingrained in Terran culture that it self-propagated as an evolutionary survival mechanism, resulting in a strength that Michael Burnham described as "painted rust" – a facade hiding mutual fear between target and potential killer. Michael Burnham summarized this information by identifying the Empire as the antithesis of the United Federation of Planets in every way. Going by rebellion sources, the culture of the Empire was fascistic, described as oppressive, racist and xenophobic, predicated on an unconditional hatred and rejection of anything and everything "other". – Philippa Georgiou and Kovich, 3189 (" Die Trying")
