This is an article about the United Federation of Planets as it exists in the Star Fleet Universe
and is not the one seen on television. If you are seeking information on that, see the above link.

Of the various groups and empires in the Star Fleet Universe, the United Federation of Planets is the one which would be the most familiar to those used to the canonical Star Trek Universe.

History

The Federation was founded in Y4 (Y1 being first contact between Humans and the Vulcans, who had already been in contact with other races. The Founding planets were Earth (Humans), Vulcan, Rigel (Rigellians), Andor (Andorians), and Alpha-Centauri (Alpha-Centarians).

For the most part, the Federation government worked only to function in areas that required interplanetary cooperation. Each member operated and maintained its own colonies, Fleet, and Police. As time went by, more and more areas fell under the aegis of the Federation government, most notably the creation of Star Fleet in Y71, though most planets maintained their older ships under new National Guard provisions.

Notable events in the Federation:

Y21 The Federation encounters the Orions. Trade relations are quickly established.

Y40-Y46 First Federation-Romulan War: The Federation first encounters the Romulans who are seeking to retake their home planet of Vulcan. The war is fought with Non-Tactical Warp (a.k.a. sublight) technology and the Federation fleet consists of a wide variety of ships from the member states.

Y45 The Orions join the Federation, but the treaty includes a number of clauses that would come back to haunt the Federation.

Y62 The Federation launches the first Tactical Warp (capable of fighting at Warp Speeds). Earth ships are the first to receive the new technology, but the technology is soon sold to all member states. The other Races of the Galaxy soon develop the technology on their own, with the notable exception of the Romulans.

Y71 The Federation forms Star Fleet.

Y79 The Federation launches the Republic-class ships, the immediate forerunner of the famous Constitition-class.

Y84 First contact with the Tholians, who do not wish to open relationships.

Y85 First contact with the Klingon Empire, though the Vulcans had known of them. The Klingons are embroiled in a war with the Kzinti and do not wish to provoke this new neighbor initially. Aggressive colonization of the border areas by both sides and the sheer power of the Federation economy cause a steady decline in the relationship.

Y88-Y92 First Federation-Kzinti War begins when the Kzintis attack the Federation. Klingon advisors serve on a number of Federation ships to advise them on how fight against the Kzinti. While the Kzinti make initial gains, the Federation was able to re-establish the borders.

Y102 Noting the problem of an undefined Klingon border, the Federation declares that its border would be a circle 4,750 parsecs from the center of the Primary Member Zone. This is announced as a major peace initiative, for it is declared that they would never seek to further expand the border, but the Kzinti and Klingons are not impressed. Several Klingon and Kzinti colonies were within the established border.

Y110-Y111 The First Klingon-Federation war begins as the Klingons try to reclaim lost territory, but are unable to make any major gains.

Y113 Sixteen Orion ships and their crews mutiny and disappear. These are believed to be the founding elements of the Orion Pirates.

Y126 The Federation launches the Constitution-class Heavy Cruiser. Six older Republic-class ships are upgraded, but the cost is nearly the same as a new ship.

Y130 Aurora, the keystone of the Federation's core-ward expansion, vanishes in an ion storm. It would be nearly a century before contact with them is established from the Omega Sector.

Y136-Y142 The Second Federation-Kzinti War

Y154 Second Federation-Romulan War. The Federation first encounters the Cloaking Device and first see the face of the Romulans.

Y156 Second Federation-Klingon War Begins, but ends shortly after over Organia.

Y157 A Gorn-Federation 'War' begins and ends after two young captains fire first and face embarrassing questions later. Despite interference from the Romulans (who had been in a century long series of wars with the Gorns), a treaty is signed and soon the Gorns become the Federation's closest ally.

Y159 Seeking to prevent the Klingons from major gains in the Four Powers War (Klingons and Lyrans versus the Kzinti and Hydrans), the Federation makes some mock moves to support the Kzintis. The Klingons respond by signing the Treaty of Smarba with the Romulans, providing them with modern warp technology and starships.
