United Federation
---Space, The Final Frontier....---
"...For what reason have we chosen to fight? To protect something? What are we protecting? Our ideals? Ourselves? Our futures? What kind of future do we gain with bloodstained hands? Those who have died obtained no future and those who did the killing, are they happy with the future they obtained in their deep red hands? Was it worth it? I am not proud of what caused the war in the first place. I am not proud of how the war was fought. What I am proud of are the brave young men and women who stood up against their respective governments and said 'enough' and fought for peace. Yes, they called for peace with guns in their hands. Guns that served to further the endless hateful conflict. Yet we all stand here today on the grounds where the Bloody Valentine Civil War began, united as one and as the leading world of a new union because of them. It is because of them I am able to stand here. On this day, the two-year anniversary of those bloody two years, let us go forth into the unknown this day not as enemies but as a united people. On this day, let us join our fellow space faring allies, look to the stars in wonder, and spread the dream of peace and knowledge as we explore the final frontier."
-President Scylla Clyne, 2555.
The United Federation is a young alliance of planets that have agreed to exist semi-autonomously under a single central government, sharing the ideals of liberty, equality, and rights for all. It is one of the larger known interstellar powers in known space, having encompassed over 3000 light years and having 50 member worlds that have willingly joined the democratic union. The number of member worlds is currently rising with allies of the Federation working to improve relations in order to join her numbers.
Her exploratory, scientific, diplomatic, and defense functions are carried out by her Star Fleet with emphasis on exploration.
The Capital of the United Federation is located on the founding member planet of Gaia in the castle city of Bonta.
