Federation members

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.

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

We may assume, that the admission policy of the Federation regards governments and/or planets, and not whole species. In practice, a planet has to be unified under one joint government until it can apply for Federation-membership. However, there are exclusions like the Kes, thus rendering a single planetary government preferable but not obligatory.

[edit] Sphere of influence

In a 2364 Federation star chart, the following planets were shown to be within the UFP's sphere of influence. (TNG: "Conspiracy")

Whether or not these are Federation members, Federation colonies or planets, surrounded by the Federation space, or simply heavily explored areas is unknown. There is no accurate scale given on the chart to determine how many sectors or quadrants are actually shown, nor are any governmental borders specified. Foreign powers are shown interspersed with worlds known to be Federated, so no true allegiances or alliances can be perceived from this background artwork.

Aldebaran III 

Possibly the location of Aldebaran colony. (TOS: "The Deadly Years")

Alfa 177 

Uninhabited and inhospitable. (TOS: "The Enemy Within")

Alpha Majoris I 

Homeworld to the Mellitus and a native population. (TOS: "Wolf in the Fold")

Altair VI 

Has a native population and government. (TOS: "Amok Time")

Arret 

Uninhabited world. (TOS: "Return to Tomorrow")

Ariannus 

It is unknown if this is a Federation colony, or if it has its own native population. (TOS: "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield")

Babel 

Note that in TOS: "Journey to Babel", this was stated to be in neutral space.

Benecia 

Home of the Benecia colony. (TOS: "The Conscience of the King")

Berengaria VII 

Contains a dragon-like species. Scouted as a potential site for the Earth Starfleet's first starbase. (TOS: "This Side of Paradise"; ENT: "Bound")

Beta Aurigae 

Scientifically examined multiple-star system. No mention of habitation. (TOS: "Turnabout Intruder")

Beta Lyrae system 

An unknown planet in the Beta Lyrae star system. (TAS: "The Slaver Weapon")

Beta Niobe system 

Note that Beta Niobe went nova in 2269, leading one to wonder about how a Federation membership is possible in 2364. (TOS: "All Our Yesterdays")

Beta Portolan system 

The planets in this system were decimated long ago, but it may be populated by a colony. (TOS: "Operation -- Annihilate!")

Camus II 

Note that it was uninhabited in TOS: "Turnabout Intruder"

Canopus system 

Alpha Carinae is mentioned and there are various inhabited planets in its star system, including:

• Alpha Carinae II : Has a native population. (TOS: "The Ultimate Computer")
• Canopus III : Possibly has a native population, known for a dinosaur species. (TNG: "Eye of the Beholder")

Note that this is seen later on the chart, so it is separate from the other "Alpha Carinae" member.

• Alpha Carinae V : Homeworld of the Drella and a native population. (TOS: "Wolf in the Fold")
• Canopus Planet : Probably has a native population, home of poet Phineas Tarbolde. (TOS: "Where No Man Has Gone Before")

Capella IV 

Homeworld of the Capellans and the Ten Tribes. (TOS: "Friday's Child")

Since the planet was pre-industrial, the chart may have been referencing another planet in the Capella system.

Daran V 

An inhabited planet. (TOS: "For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky")

Deneb system 

An inhabited planet in the Deneb system of which there are four.

• Deneb II : Contains a native population. (TOS: "Wolf in the Fold")
• Deneb IV : Homeworld of the Bandi and another telepathic species. (TOS: "Where No Man Has Gone Before")
• Deneb V : Homeworld of the Denebians. (TOS: "I, Mudd")
• Alpha Cygnus IX : Possibly inhabited. (TNG: "Sarek")

Delta Vega 

An uninhabited planet and Federation outpost. (TOS: "Where No Man Has Gone Before")

Eminiar system 

An inhabited planet in the Eminiar system, of which there are two. (TOS: "A Taste of Armageddon")

• Vendikar : Independent Colony of the Eminiar VII.
• Eminiar VII : Homeworld of the Eminians and the Eminian Union.

Fabrina 

Homeworld of the Fabrini. (TOS: "For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky")

Note that the original Fabrina was destroyed, so this may be a reference to their colonized home.

First Federation Homeworld 

Homeworld of the First Federation. (TOS: "The Corbomite Maneuver")

Gamma Canaris N 

Possibly a colony world. (TNG: "Conundrum")

Gamma Trianguli VI 

Home of the Gamma Trianguli VI natives. (TOS: "The Apple")

They don't seem technologically advanced enough to join the Federation, so they might be a protectorate or perhaps there is a more advanced culture elsewhere in the Gamma Trianguli system.

Holberg 917G 

An uninhabited planet in the Omega system. (TOS: "Requiem for Methuselah")

Note unless an independent colony was established, it is unknown how this could be a Federation member.

Ingraham B 

Possibly a colony. (TOS: "Operation -- Annihilate!")

Janus VI 

Homeworld of the Horta and the Janus VI colony. (TOS: "The Devil in the Dark")

Early plans for Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home were to include Horta in the Federation Council scenes.

Kling 

A planet believed to be in the Klingon Empire. (TNG: "Heart of Glory")

It is very doubtful that a Klingon planet would join the Federation, as this information would be contradicted in later episodes. In "Samaritan Snare", Wesley Crusher stated that the "Klingons joined the Federation," although this does not necessarily mean membership.

Kzin 

Homeworld of the Kzinti. (TAS: "The Slaver Weapon")

Lactra VII 

Homeworld of the Lactrans. (TAS: "The Eye of the Beholder")

Makus III 

Probably contains a native population and government. (TOS: "The Galileo Seven")

Marcos XII 

Possibly a Federation colony. (TOS: "And the Children Shall Lead")

Memory Alpha 

An uninhabited planetoid containing the largest Federation library. (TOS: "The Lights of Zetar")

Mudd 

Inhabited by androids. (TOS: "I, Mudd")

Omega Cygni system 

An inhabited planet in this system.

Omega IV 

Homeworld of the Omega IV natives, and specifically the Kohms and Yangs. (TOS: "The Omega Glory")

Organia 

Supposed Homeworld of the Organians and the Organian Council of Elders. (TOS: "Errand of Mercy")

While it is unlikely that the Organians are members of the Federation themselves, a colony might have started on the planet following the Treaty of Organia.

Orion 

Homeworld of the Orions, and former homeworld of the Orion Syndicate. (TOS: "The Cage")

Note that chart may be referencing the friendlier Orion I.

Phylos 

Homeworld of the Phylosians. (TAS: "The Infinite Vulcan")

Psi 2000 

An uninhabited planet that disintegrated in 2266. (TOS: "The Naked Time")

Note that it is unclear why this would be on a Federation chart 98 years later, but perhaps this is referring to the Psi 2000's star system, and an inhabited world existed nearby.

Pollux IV 

An uninhabited planet. (TOS: "Who Mourns for Adonais?")

It is unknown if a colony was built on this planet.

Pollux system 

Other than Pollux IV, its star Beta Geminorum was also mentioned, leading one to think that another inhabited world exists in the system.

Pyris VII 

An uninhabited planet. (TOS: "Catspaw")

It is unknown why this planet would rise to prominence on the chart.

Regulan system 

An inhabited planet in the Regulus star system, of which there are two.

• Regulus III : Has a population. (DS9: "Fascination")
• Regulus V : Class M, possibly has a population. (TOS: "Amok Time")

Sarpeid system 

An inhabited planet in the Sarpeid star system.

Sirius IX 

Homeworld to a native population and a planetary government. (TAS: "The Slaver Weapon")

Talos IV 

Homeworld of the Talosians. (TOS: "The Cage")

Note that the Talos IV was considered off limits in 2267. The chart simply mentioned "Talos," so there may be another population in the system.

Tau Ceti system 

An inhabited planet in the Tau Ceti star system of which there are three:

• Tau Ceti Prime : Possibly a colony or resort planet. (VOY: "Coda")
• Tau Ceti III : Possibly a colony, but may be inhabited. (TNG: "Conspiracy")
• Tau Ceti IV : Home of the ship port Amber. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan)

Theta III 

Nothing is known of this planet.

Tholia 

Homeworld of the Tholians and the Tholian Assembly. (TOS: "The Tholian Web")

Later references in TNG made the Tholians' inclusion in the Federation unlikely.

[edit] Future members

The following are depicted as Federation members in a possible future timeline. (ENT: "Azati Prime")

Ithenite Homeworld 

Homeworld of the Ithenites.

Qo'noS 

Homeworld of the Klingons and the Klingon Empire (See also: Klingon planets)
