The United Federation of Planets is made up of more than 180 member worlds spread out over | The United Federation of Planets is made up of more than 180 member worlds spread out over 8,000 light years. It remains one of the few major political groups which is not controlled by a single race of beings. Instead, the Federation is ruled by the Federation Council, which is composed of representatives from various member planets. Its ideals stem from the Constitution of the United Federation of Planets, drafted when the group was formed in 2161, which assures mutual protection and benefit of all member worlds and citizens. | ||
Federation ideals put peace and exploration before conflict, and Federation ships will never attack without warning, as their operating procedures forbid overt hostility. Federation borders are maintained with diplomacy and treaties, and the group has never assumed an expansionist posture in regards to its territory. Planets which wish to gain entry to the Federation must be governed by a unified planetary government and follow strict nondiscriminatory policies. | Federation ideals put peace and exploration before conflict, and Federation ships will never attack without warning, as their operating procedures forbid overt hostility.
