Changes: Federation members

Revision as of 19:41, 3 October 2013

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

Presumably the admission policy of the Federation regards governments and/or planets, and not whole species. In practice, a planet had to be unified under one joint government until it can apply for Federation-membership. However, there were potential exceptions, such as the Kes.

Founding members

Federation founding ceremony, 2161 — The Founding Ceremony

The United Federation of Planets was founded in 2161 by the following members:

Andoria: Homeworld of the Andorians and the Andorian Empire. (ENT: "Zero Hour", "These Are the Voyages...")
Earth: Homeworld of the Humans and United Earth. (ENT: "Zero Hour", "These Are the Voyages...")
Tellar Prime: Homeworld of the Tellarites. (ENT: "Zero Hour", "These Are the Voyages...")
Vulcan: Homeworld of the Vulcans and the Vulcan High Command. (TNG: "Gambit, Part II"; ENT: "Zero Hour", "These Are the Voyages...")

According to several background sources, including Star Fleet Technical Manual, Star Trek: Star Charts, "It's Federation Day!", a newspaper article created as background material for Star Trek Generations and the novel Articles of the Federation, the independent Alpha Centauri colony was the fifth original founding member of the Federation.

Council members

Federation Council chamber, 2286 — The Federation Council

The following are members of the Federation who are known to be on the Federation Council.

Arcadian homeworld: Homeworld of the Arcadians. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)
Ariolo homeworld: Homeworld of the Ariolo. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)
Bzzit Khaht homeworld: Homeworld of the Bzzit Khaht. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)

Grazerite homeworld: Homeworld of the Grazerites. (DS9: "Homefront")
Kasheeta homeworld: Homeworld of the Kasheeta. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)
Unnamed Federation planet: Home to the unnamed alien council members. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)

The hat-props worn by these aliens were presumably mistakingly cataloged under the species name Kazarites, though the costumes named them as Mazorites. [1] [2] See also: Mazarites.

Xelatian homeworld: Homeworld of the Xelatians. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)
Zaranite homeworld: Homeworld of the Zaranites. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)

Other known members

Haliia: Howeworld of the Haliians. (TNG: "Aquiel")
Trillius Prime: Homeworld of the Trills. (DS9: "Emissary"); (ENT: "Broken Bow")
Algolian Homeworld: Homeworld of the Algolians. (TNG: "Qpid")

Based on them having a seat on the Federation Archaeology Council.

Arbazan Homeworld: Homeworld of the Arbazan. (DS9: "The Forsaken")

Based on an Arbazan holding the position of Ambassador.

Ardana: Homeworld of the Ardanans. (TOS: "The Cloud Minders")
Benzar: Homeworld of the Benzites. (TNG: "Coming of Age")

Ambassadors Sarek and Gav discuss Coridan's admission into the Federation in 2268

Coridan: Homeworld of the Coridans. (TNG: "Sarek")
Efrosian homeworld: Homeworld of the Efrosians. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)

Hekaras II: Homeworld of the Hekarans. (TNG: "Force of Nature")
Peliar Zel II: Homeworld of the Peliar Zel natives. (TNG: "The Host")
Rigel IV: Homeworld of the Rigellians. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture)
Risa: Homeworld of the Risians. (TNG: "Captain's Holiday")

Unnamed Federation planet: Home to the unnamed alien ambassadors. (TOS: "Journey to Babel")
Unnamed Federation planet: Home to the unnamed copper-skinned aliens. (TOS: "Journey to Babel")

An unfilmed scene from ENT: "Terra Prime" would have established these as the Ithenites mentioned in "Azati Prime". They were previously identified in the apocryphal Stardate magazine (issue 11) as the Dayen.

Unnamed Federation planet: Home to the unnamed delegates. (TOS: "Journey to Babel")
Unnamed Federation planet: Home to the unnamed female delegates. (TOS: "Journey to Babel")
Unnamed Federation planet: Home to the unnamed purple-skinned aliens. (TOS: "Journey to Babel")
Unnamed Federation planet: Home to the unnamed robed delegates. (TOS: "Journey to Babel")
Zakdorn Homeworld: Homeworld of the Zakdorn. (TNG: "Peak Performance")

According to VOY: "The Voyager Conspiracy", Ktarians were officially with the Federation, but it is not specified if they were members or allies.

Protectorates

Evora Homeworld: Homeworld of the Evora. (Star Trek: Insurrection)

According to a deleted scene from the end of "Insurrection", Ba'ku was also to become a protectorate.
Haven was said to have a treaty with the Federation which required Starfleet to protect it, and thus may have been an official protectorate.

Colonies

See Federation colonies.

The exact status of Federation colonies has never been clearly established. While due to the large amount of colonies it seems unlikely that they have full member status, it would be plausible to assume that they enjoy a status not unlike to that of Federation protectorates.

Proposed members

Sisko locusts — Captain Benjamin Sisko stopping Bajor from joining the Federation

These following were in the process of gaining Federation member status as of the year indicated.

Angosia III (2366): Homeworld of the Angosians. (TNG: "The Hunted")
Antede III (2365): Homeworld of the Antedeans. (TNG: "Manhunt")
Antica (2364): Homeworld of the Anticans. (TNG: "Lonely Among Us")
Bajor (2377): Homeworld of the Bajorans. (DS9: "Emissary")
Cairn Homeworld (2370): Homeworld of the Cairn. (TNG: "Dark Page")
Catulla (2269): Homeworld of the Catullans. (TOS: "The Way to Eden")
Gideon (2268): Homeworld of the Gideon and the Gideon Council. (TOS: "The Mark of Gideon")
Kesprytt III (2370): Homeworld of the Kesprytt and the Kes and Prytt governments. (TNG: "Attached")
Selay (2364): Homeworld of the Selay. (TNG: "Lonely Among Us")

Background information

In TOS: "Journey to Babel", set in 2268, the ambassadors of Federation planets attended the Babel Conference, at that time there were 32 ambassadors, suggesting there were at least 32 planets in the Federation at that time.

According to a dossier on the home page of Star Trek, in the alternate reality, the Federation had 120 member planets and 700 colonies in the 2250s. [3]

According to Star Trek: Star Charts (United Federation of Planets IV), in 2378, there were 183 members and 7,128 affiliates. The area of the Federation was 8,000 cubic light years. At the last census, in 2370, there were 985 billion individuals living in the Federation.

Aleek-Om was identified as a "Federation historian" in the Star Trek Concordance, possibly based on the script, suggesting Aurelia might be a member. Bilana III was also identified as a member in the Star Trek Encyclopedia and Star Trek: Star Charts.
