The Federation was founded in [[San Francisco]], [[Earth]] in [[2161]]. The seeds of the Federation were planted during a temporary alliance in [[2154]], in the search for a [[Romulan drone ship]]. It was this that first brought together the four five species that would found the Federation: [[Human]]s, [[Vulcan]]s, [[Andorian]]s, [[Tellarite]]s, and [[TellariteAlpha Centauran]]'s. After the crisis, these four species remained together, founding the precursor to the Federation, called the [[Coalition of Planets]], a year later. Other species soon joined: the [[Denobulan]]s, the [[Rigelian]]s, the [[Coridanite]]s, and several others. Over the next several years, the ties between the members of the Coalition strengthened and became more structured, until, finally, in 2161, the Coalition became the Federation.
Although the Federation's intentions were peaceful, around it were other, more belligerent powers such as the [[Klingon Empire|Klingon]] and [[Romulan Empire]]s. As it expanded through the admittance of more and more worlds, it came into conflict with these powers. In the [[23rd century]], its main adversary was the Klingon Empire, with war briefly erupting between the two in [[2267]], before being halted by the [[Organian]]s. However, tensions eased considerably towards the end of the century, with the [[Khitomer Conference]] of [[2293]] being a substantial turning point. This conference saw the signing of to the [[Khitomer Accords]], which effectively ended hostile relations.
