The Federation Starfleet is the deep space exploratory and armed services department of the Federation in a possible 29th century.
History[]
Overview[]
Missions[]
Starfleet's function was to explore unknown territory on the behalf of the Federation government, to defend the Federation and its allies from threats, to further Federation policies and interests throughout interstellar space, and, when applicable, to initiate first contact with newly-discovered worlds and to engage in diplomatic negotiations on the behalf of the Federation.
As per its mandate of deep-space exploration, its personnel were frequently brought into contact with cultures and sentient species whose existences were unknown to the Federation. Starfleet vessels were also frequently used to ferry ambassadors on diplomatic missions.
It's duties expanded with the advent of time travel technology to include; monitoring use of time travel methods, watching the time stream for abnormalities, and patrolling the timeline.

Trivia[]
- As a condition on entry to the Federation, member worlds donate resources with the amount depending to their Gross Planetary Product. Worlds that are very “wealthy” like Earth donate massively, less wealthy worlds donate less, but they all share equally in the benefits of membership such as defense against threats and the sharing of technologies.
