Due to its size and history, the United Federation of Planets consequently gained a reputation throughout the hierarchies of neighboring species and goverments.
[[Klingon]] propaganda in the [[23rd century]] claimed that the Federation committed atrocities against its prisoners, keeping them in [[death camp]]s camps and torturing them for their scientific and military secrets. When beamed aboard the {{USS|Enterprise|NCC|1701}} in [[2268]], [[Mara]] reminded her husband [[Kang]] of these claims. [[Captain]] [[James T. Kirk]] remarked that she had much to learn about the Federation.
In [[2269]], the ''Enterprise'' apprehended [[Lokai]], a [[Cheron native|native]] of the [[planet]] [[Cheron]], who was responsible for the theft of a [[Federation shuttlecraft]] from [[Starbase 4]]. Following his apprehension, and, upon his initial interrogation by Captain Kirk, Lokai stated that he had heard about the [[starship]] and that the '''United Fleet of Planets''' to which it belonged. Kirk quickly corrected Lokai, stating the correct name of the Federation.
Later, during the Dominion War, it was Weyoun's belief that for the Dominion to absorb the Federation, following their theoretical defeat, that "''holding on to a prize as vast as the Federation isn't going to be easy. It's going to require an enormous number of ships, a massive occupation army and constant vigilance.''" Ultimately, Weyoun personally believed that "''the key to holding the Federation is Earth. If there's going to be an organized resistance against us, its birthplace will be there.''"
In [[2375]], [[Ru'afo]], a [[Son'a]] who was working in conjunction with Star Fleet [[Vice Admiral]] [[Matthew Dougherty]], expressed his views of the Federation, describing it as "old," adding "''in the last twenty four months, it's been challenged by every major power in the [[quadrant]] – the [[Borg]], the [[Cardassian]]s, the [[Dominion]]. They all smell the scent of [[death]] on the Federation.''" Ru'afo suggested to Dougherty that it was for that very reason why the Federation Council "''embraced [the Son'a's] offer, because it will give your dear Federation new life.''"
