星際聯邦(United Federation of Planets, UFP)簡稱星聯，又譯行星同盟，出現在星际旅行(Star Trek)系列科幻影集的虛擬宇宙中。由成員行星選出議員組織議會決議大小事物，並設有總統一職。首都設於星區0-0-1，地球，巴黎。轄下設有星际舰队，總部設於地球的旧金山。

星聯所採行的一項指導原則--可以說是基本法--稱為「最高指導原則(Prime Directive)」，嚴格禁止聯邦人員不論善意與否，對曲速前文明(pre-warp civilization)的發展作出干預，用意在於避免文化與科技污染所造成的文明不穩定或毀壞現象。一旦文明發展出曲速科技而成為曲速文明，有能力遠距離探索太空之時，聯邦會派出代表與此文明進行第一類接觸(first contact)，期以預先建立和平的關係，而不是在誤會中發生衝突與戰爭。此原則源於瓦肯星對新興曲速文明的接觸策略；地球與瓦肯的第一類接觸即發生在2063年4月5日寇克瑞恩博士試飛曲速飛行器--鳳凰號之後。

The United Federation of Planets, also referred to as the Federation or UFP, is an interstellar state composed of planetary governments and colonies. The various members of the Federation are organized under the unifying goals of universal liberty, equality, peaceful coexistence, trade, science, exploration, and mutual defense. Its territory encompasses at least several dozen sectors in both the Alpha and Beta Quadrants, spread across nearly 8,000 light years of space. As of stardate 3219.8, the Federation was spread across more than 1,000 worlds. (TOS: "Metamorphosis") In 2268 there were at least 30 members (TOS: "Journey to Babel"), and by 2373, there were more than 150 members of the Federation, and over 1,000 semi-autonomous colonies. (Star Trek: First Contact) Many of the Federation member worlds were originally Human colonies, which is why Humans make up the majority of Starfleet personnel.

The Federation is one of the most powerful interstellar states of the Alpha Quadrant. Unlike the vast majority of other major and regional empires, where power was derived from a single dominant race that subjugated other nearby planets and species, all members of the Federation joined willingly and coexisted equally with other members. Although its multispecies origin has caused it to be labeled a "mongrel" power by some outsiders, its diverse origins have also given it a unique strength over the past 200 years.

The Federation is also famous for its technological resources and personnel. In particular, Federation engineers were respected as masters of technology, repair, and modification, even by enemies of the organization, such as the Dominion.

History

Main article: Federation history.

The founding ceremony of the Federation, in San Francisco, Earth, Alpha Quadrant in 2161.

The Federation was founded in 2161 (TNG: "The Outcast"; ENT: "Zero Hour", "These Are the Voyages..."), in San Francisco on Earth. The seeds of the Federation sprouted during a temporary alliance in 2154 during the search for a Romulan drone ship. That was when Vulcans, Humans, Andorians and Tellarites first united for a common cause. (ENT: "United") This led to the founding of the Coalition of Planets a year later, when United Earth, the Vulcans, the Andorian Empire, the Tellarites, the Denobulans, the Rigelians, the Coridanites, and several other worlds united in a common economic union. (ENT: "Demons"). The Coalition continued towards unity over the next several years, and this ultimately led to the formation of the Federation. (ENT: "These Are the Voyages...")

The role that the Coalition of Planets played in the Earth-Romulan War has not been revealed.

It has been generally accepted in fandom that the day which the Federation was founded in 2161 was 8 May. However, this date has no canonical support. It should be noted, however, that May 8th is the same day that Paramount Pictures was founded in 1914.

Captain Picard's scrapbook seen in Star Trek: Generations lists 11 October 2161 as the day the Federation was founded.

Although the Federation's intentions were peaceful, its policies of expansion almost inevitably brought it into conflict with other states in the region. In the 23rd century, the most notable conflict was with the Klingon Empire, and war briefly erupted in 2266, before being halted by the Organians. (TOS: "Errand of Mercy") However, this tension eased considerably towards the end of the century, with the Khitomer Conference of 2293 being a substantial turning point. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country) As the 24th century started, the Federation began an unprecedented period of peaceful exploration of the galaxy, without any major conflicts along its borders. Throughout this period, the Federation remained in a state of low-level conflict and cold war with the Romulan Star Empire following the Romulan re-emergence on the astropolitical scene in 2266.

A series of local conflicts flared in the late 2340s, with the Federation encountering races such as the Cardassians, the Talarians, the Tholians, and other minor regional powers like the Tzenkethi. These conflicts were short-lived, in no small part due to the power exerted by Starfleet at that time.

But the darkest period in Federation history was soon to arrive. First contact with the Borg Collective led to a series of attacks on Federation outposts. The Battle of Wolf 359 saw Starfleet dealt a crippling blow, it took many years to even partially recover. (TNG: "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II") The members of the Federation soon learned that the enemies the organization had dealt with in the past were nothing compared to the powerful forces found elsewhere in the galaxy.

In the 2370s, contact was made with the Dominion, the predominant ruling power over much of the Gamma Quadrant. After numerous skirmishes, the Dominion allied itself with the Cardassian Union, and launched an invasion of the Alpha Quadrant. The war that followed was the greatest crisis in Federation history. Although the Allied forces eventually emerged victorious, many of the Federation's important member worlds - including Betazed, Coridan, and Benzar - had been temporarily occupied before the Dominion's offensive could be turned back. Thousands of starships and millions of lives were lost, in what was the most bloody conflict in Federation history. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)

However, the war and its aftermath allowed the Federation to establish new relations with many of its former adversaries. In particular, it was hoped that relations with the Romulan Star Empire would improve, marking the beginnings of détente with a traditional enemy of the Federation. (Star Trek: Nemesis)

In at least one version of the 26th century, the Federation had become an even more powerful entity. The Klingon Empire, now fully integrated into the Federation, bolstered its membership, along with the states of races such as the Ithenites, and Xindi. In that timeline's 2550s, the Federation proved instrumental in halting the Sphere Builder invasion of the galaxy, an action which caused the Sphere Builders to try to stop the Federation from ever being formed by manipulating the Xindi into attempting to destroy Earth in 2153. (ENT: "Azati Prime"). By that timeline's 31st century, the Federation became embroiled in the Temporal Cold War, attempting to maintain the integrity and outcome of its subjective history. (ENT: "Storm Front, Part II")

Government

The four founding species of the Federation: Humans, Vulcans, Andorians, and Tellarites.

The government of the Federation is organized as a federal republic, where the member planets and colonies formed semi-autonomous districts. Central authority in the Federation is delegated to the three branches of the Federation government: the Federation Council, the legislative branch of the government; the Federation President, the executive and head of state; and the Federation Supreme Court, the supreme judicial authority (DS9: "Doctor Bas hir, I Presume?"). The Council in 2286 met in San Francisco (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home), while the President's offices were located in Paris. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)

Economy

The Federation has a massive economy, built around large scale, inexpensive production of almost all consumer goods. No money is used for basic expenses, such as food, clothing or shelter. However, there is a basic unit of exchange called the Federation credit, which is used in transactions with non-Federation members (alternatively, there may be several different types of credits, such as "transporter credits"). Advances in technology and a drastic shift in public attitudes towards wealth made traditional currencies obsolete in the 22nd Century, ushering in the New World Economy. The introduction and advancement of replicators during the mid-to-late 24th century also drastically changed the orientation of the economy, as matter-energy conversion reduced the cost of most small- to medium-scale objects to practically nothing. Large-scale construction was efficiently handled, as well.

As many would have it, the driving force behind Federation society was no longer the acquisition of wealth, but rather self-enhancement and the benefit of all. (Star Trek: First Contact) Perhaps ironically, entrepreneurship was encouraged, although the primary goal of most ventures was no longer to make a profit. They were intended for personal enjoyment and improvement. (DS9: "In the Cards")

The various systems of the Federation are generally rich in natural resources, although their intrinsic worth has changed as the replicators reduced the need for most refined and semi-refined materials. Other materials, such as latinum, which were more time and energy demanding, were often traded for with non-Federation planets. One of the most valuable minerals was dilithium, which was critical in regulating the matter-antimatter reactions in the Federation's power generators.

Member worlds of the Federation who possessed resources unavailable elsewhere, were obligated to provide consignments of the substances in times of emergency. Such transfers were often facilitated by the Federation's Starfleet, as in the delivery Ardanan zenite to the plague-ridden world of Merak II in 2269. (TOS: "The Cloud Minders")

Federation Members

As of 2373, the Federation consisted of at least 150 member planets, spread over 8,000 light years. (Star Trek: First Contact)

See: List of Federation members

Note: It has been observed that at maxiumum warp, it would take the fastest Federation starships almost eight years to cross from one end of Federation space to the other. Since this is clearly not the case, there is reason to assume that Captain Picard was describing area instead of distance (8,000 light years squared) which would give the Federation a diameter of about 90 light years. This would be consistent with the fact that a Federation starship can make transit between Earth and the farthest edges of the Federation in just a few short days.
