United Federation of Planets

The United Federation of Planets is an Interstellar Federal Republic founded in 2161.
The faction is played by EllRatioBozo.
==Faction Overview ==
===Government===
The United Federation of Planets is a Representative Republic. Each planet within the Federation sends elected officials to represent them in the government. Each planet has equal say within the Federation.
===Culture ===
The culture of the UFP is different among worlds. Due to it being a federal republic, the planetary governments can impose their own local laws.
One thing that remains persistent is the lack of money due to replication. The invention of the replicator has made money useless, thus the United Federation of Planets doesn't use it's currency, the Federation Credit, internally.
== History ==
=== First Contact (2063) ===
In 2063, Doctor Zefram Cochrane invented a warp-capable vessel, and the Vulcans detected it's warp signature, prompting it to go to Earth to establish a First Contact. The Vulcans were met with open arms, and Earth slowly began unification.
=== Earth-Romulan War and Formation of the Federation (2156-2161) ===
In 2156, Earth and Romulus entered a war due to the Romulan Star Empire due to fears that Earth would threaten the status quo of conflict due to ongoing peace efforts.https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Earth-Romulan_War#Prelude
Earth, along with the Andorians, Tellarites, and Vulcans, won the war, and soon formed the Federation.
=== The UFP-AfinityOnce again, this is made up with prior Roleplays with Graham. This is not canon to the Star Trek universe Cold War (2200s) ===
Somewhere in the 2200s, Starfleet had came into contact with the Empire of Afinity, unfortunately, the EoA was not seeking peace, but wanted expansion, though the two sides differed in ideology, and the EoA had wished for expansion, it did not want to deal with the Federation at the time, leaving it to its own devices, while preparing for the eventuality of a war.
No war ever broke out, as the EoA slowly began to collapse from within around the 2290s due to unrest in the Outer Systems of the Empire, forcing it to disperse resources, ending up in more being used than needed in one sector while being undersupplied in another.
=== First Terran-Federation War ===
In 2389, the Federation came into contact with the Terran Empire in the Hernandez System. the USS Nelson, along with several other vessels, were designated to the area for this contact, hoping to seek peace, though the Terrans responded by opening fire.
In the Second Battle of the Binary Stars, the Federation turned the tides of the war, beginning an offensive campaign and forcing the Terrans to retreat.
At the battle of Arcadia, the 45th and 2nd Fleets, led by Fleet Admiral Matthew Tiberius Martell, destroyed the 2nd fleet, ending the war without a treaty, but with a show of force. the Terrans stopped their incursions until 2411.
