The story of Federation Man has had many retellings.  His secret identity is that of [[/Sharp, Robin|Robin Sharp]], a cross-species former Starfleet Captain who fought in the [[ma:Federation-Cardassian War|Federation-Cardassian War]].  In order to prevent further conflict across the quadrants, the Federation and Starfleet condition Sharp to be the elite sole-fighting force.  Sharp operates in the quadrants of known space, assisted by the Federation Battle Net (FBN) and Starfleet.  His superpowers are technically his birth genetics; using his Vulcan intelligence and strength, his Klingon stamina and his Betazoid senses to fight crime and corruption amongst the races, colonies and worlds of Federation space.

Federation Man became very popular upon his release to boost the morale of the population of the quadrants and to entertain the masses.  As time passed, the '''FedNet Publishers''' and writers expanded on the character and his repertoire of alliances to include many different species throughout space.  Many different interpretations of the original story exist and some have been made into playable holonovels.

== Publication ==
Federation Man's first appearance was in ''Galaxy Defender Comics'' #1, 2368.  A self-titled series was later launched in 2370.  The first issue mainly reprinted a revamped version of what was published in ''Galaxy Defender Comics'', but despite this the holonovel achieved record sales in the Sol System then later throughout the Milky Way galaxy.  Initially, ''Federation Man: Galaxy Defender'' was programmed solely by Armitage Schubert but as the popularity of the character and the adventures increased, a base was formed within the Federation administration to deal with the propaganda.
In 2371, Federation Operations formed an editorial team specific for the creation of Federation Man comics and holonovels and they assumed control of the creativity of the character, included several already prominent science fiction holonovel writers.
By 2373, the comic was put on hiatus for the [[ma:Dominion War|Dominion War]].  This had a dramatic affect on the production of the comic and it was debatable whether production of the comic would continue after the war.  The sense of loss felt by the army of fans was insurmountable as many believed this to be the end of the Galaxy Defender's adventures.
However, Federation Man was relaunched at the end of the Dominion War in 2375 and included a gigantic playable holonovel which consisted of Federation Man's adventures and fictional contributions to the Dominion War and the conflicts therein.
