Star Trek: Just How Old Is the United Federation of Planets?

The United Federation of Planets serves as the fulcrum for the Star Trek franchise, a utopian future society in which science and enlightenment have triumphed. It consists of hundreds of member worlds who share knowledge and resources for the mutual benefit of all. Starfleet serves as its diplomatic corps and defense force, as well as exploring unknown space in its name.Star Trek: The Original Series remained very coy about the details of when and where the Federation came about. Indeed, Star Trek’s famous Stardates (used by every series since then) was conceived as a clever way to avoid explaining too much of the history. Subsequent series dodged the question as well, leaving it to Star Trek: Enterprise to finally pin down the specifics of how the governing body was founded.Star Trek’s timeline covers a number of events that haven’t happened yet, which has led to a little confusion about certain key events. The Eugenics Wars that eventually escalated into World War III, for instance, originally took place in the 1990s, according to The Original Series. That was subsequently retconned in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 2, Episode 3, “Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow,” as the franchise’s copious use of time travel alters the flow of events and the producers adjust canon to fit new developments.Star Trek: TNG’s ‘Lower Decks’ Episode Is Directly Tied to Its Animated Namesake
