The United Federation of Planets is the largest of the Galactic Powers bordering the Triangle, along with the Klingon Empire and the Romulan Star Empire. The Federation is dominated by Humans, with Vulcans, Andorians and Tellarites also influential. There are many other species in the Federation, with 150+ full Member Planets spread over an area of space 10,000 light years long by 8000 light years wide. The Federation is unique among the Galactic Powers in that all Species and Member Planets have a political say in how it is run. Most Players are familiar with Federation from the various Star Trek TV series and theatrical movies. This page does not reflect the Alternate timeline from the 2009 hit movie, JJ Abrams' Star Trek.

The Founding worlds of the Federation were Earth, Vulcan, Andoria and Tellar, along with their colonies, including Mars and Alpha Centauri. There are now many full and associate Member Planets in the Federation, including Betazed, Bolarus, Trill and others. Most of the planets within the Federation Sphere of Influence are not inhabited or are unexplored.
