Changes: First Federation

Revision as of 06:13, 2 December 2012

The First Federation was a political and military organization in the Milky Way Galaxy. The location of this organization was depicted on a Federation star chart in 2293. (TOS: "The Corbomite Maneuver"; Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country production art)

History

First contact between the Federation and the First Federation occurred in 2266, when the USS Enterprise was conducting a star mapping mission and unknowingly crossed into First Federation space, destroying a marker buoy in the process.

Shortly thereafter, the Enterprise encountered the massive flagship of the First Federation, the Fesarius. Charged with violating their territory, the Enterprise and its crew were threatened with destruction. However, after a series of bluffs and counter-bluffs, it was discovered that the encounter had only been a test, designed by the Fesarius' captain, Balok. A cultural exchange was proposed, with Enterprise crewman Dave Bailey remaining on board the Fesarius. (TOS: "The Corbomite Maneuver")

Trade between the First Federation and various Alpha Quadrant species continued into the 24th century, with tranya being a major export - Quark's on Deep Space 9 served the beverage. (DS9: "Facets")

Background information

According to Star Trek: Star Charts (Pg. 36, "United Federation of Planets I"), the First Federation was located in the Alpha Quadrant. The First Federation's capital system was Fesarius. Fesarius was a Class K star with a magnitude of +3, which was ten times the brightness of Sol. A major space lane was located in proximity to the territory of the First Federation. Warning buoys had been installed by 2378 around the First Federation's territory.

The First Federation's capital system was Fesarius. Fesarius was a [[Star Trek: Star Charts#Spectral classification|Class K star]] with a [[magnitude]] of +3, which was ten times the brightness of [[Sol]]. A major space lane was located in proximity to the territory of the First Federation. Warning buoys had been installed by [[2378]] around the First Federation's territory.
-=== "The Explored Galaxy" ===
-"The Explored Galaxy" was a map of charted space in the Alpha Quadrant. The First Federation was located in an area of space that was located west of the [[Tholian Assembly]]. The Assembly was identified in {{DS9|Call to Arms}} as being located in this quadrant. This chart was also seen in several ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' and ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'' episodes set in the [[24th century]], from the year [[2364]] to [[2370]]. These were: {{TNG|Conspiracy|The Measure Of A Man|The Emissary|The Mind's Eye|The Game}} and {{DS9|In the Hands of the Prophets|Cardassians}}.
