... new content, this time sketching out the Federation's future plans:
===Future plans===
{the same thing we do every night Pinky, try and take over the world!
Okay, not really. The Federation’s long-term plans are all about increasing exosolar migration from Earth. They aren’t planning on abandoning Sol per se, but they’re taking a longer view than some of the other factions; eventually there will be mass migration from Earth into space, and whoever’s got the infrastructure down first wins. Greenwood’s already working on that with their settlement of the Achird A system; if they can do it, then Starfleet can do it better. Or so the theory goes. Annexing the Soviet was a double bonus, in that it provided them with (mostly) unrestricted access to Communist Weird Science(tm) as well as the Soviet’s territorial claims in Tau Ceti, Epsilon Indi, Delta Pavonis and Zeta 1 Reticuli; the last two are especially important thanks to the two stargates.
Federation diplomats - the non-douchey kind - have been in quiet talks with other factions regarding the possibility of following in the Soviets’ footsteps. As of 2022 nobody’s biting yet, though the Lagrange unificationists at Central Station are intrigued by the possibility.
And then there’s the Federation separatist movement. The neo-Klingons feel a little stifled by life in the Fed - and they do kind of have a point - and feel that their destiny may lead away from the rest of the Trekkie hive mind. To that end a nascent “Klingon Empire” is setting up shop in the Neptune system, quietly squirreling away materials necessary to build their own starfleet - which is incidentally a PEPPER violation since they’re still Federation citizens until they make the declaration - and sending out scouts to find a proper Qo'noS. (My evil thought of the day: the Klingons pick Zeta Tucanae as their new homeworld.)
