Federation of Starfaring Worlds

The Federation of Starfaring Worlds (abbreviated as FSW and often referred to as the Federation) is an organization consisting of an alliance between multiple civilizations with space travel capabilities.

History
The seeds of the Federation were first planted during 2053 when the Xenos attempted to lay waste the galaxy. The Terrans, Greyliens, Stoph and Vonqis temporarily set aside their differences in order to fight back against this common enemy. This temporary alliance successfully repelled the Xenos in 2055, driving them to retreat into another plane of existence.

The allied worlds then realized it would be beneficial to all for an official alliance to be created and thus, the Federation was founded in Klorf on May 21st, 2061.

Exploration and defense
The Federation has a fleet of ships dedicated to deep-space exploration and defense of Federation space. Its principal functions were the advancement of Federation knowledge about the galaxy, the advancement of Federation knowledge of science and technology, and the defense of the Federation. In addition, it also played a significant diplomatic role. As per its mandate of deep-space exploration, its personnel were frequently brought into contact with cultures and sentient species whose existences were previously unknown to the Federation. Federation fleet officers therefore acted as official representatives of the Federation in these cases. Also, Federation fleet vessels were frequently used to ferry ambassadors on diplomatic missions.

Membership
Criteria for a world to join the Federation are as follows:
 * It has to have an advanced level of technology. The Federation's baseline definition of this term is the capability for faster-than-light space travel.
 * Its government should have achieved stable planetary political unity, demonstrating a resolution of social and political differences and a respect of the rights of the individual. Membership is still considered if there is an isolated faction present that did not want membership, but this is a rare case.
 * No form of caste discrimination is to be practiced.
