The '''Federation''' is one of the three major powers in the universe, along with the [[Empire]] and the [[Alliance]], and is the oldest.

It is rumoured that these corporations have such influence and power that they can even direct the Federal government. Perhaps even to the point deciding who to elect as President! | The Federation is highly dependent on technology and is home to many huge and wealthy corporations.
