Chapter 1: The Birth of The United Earth Alliance
By 2013 rampant spending by several Earth Governments and mass corruption and poverty led to several revolutions taking place. The First was the Canadian Liberation Army who revolted against the government and broke Canada away from British Sovereignty.(Canadian Revolution) The United States fell into a second recession which caused the Johnson Administration to leave office, the new President, George Dundleworf pledged to restore the country to it's old days of glory a world superpower. As 2014 approached Dundleworf met with the new Canadian President Jerry Sullivan and merged both nations into what we recognize today as the American Coalition.(History of the American Coalition) In response to this move the Far Eastern powers China, Japan, The Phillipines and Mongolia united to Form the Greater Pacific Republic. Only Europe, the middle East and south America had to choose sides but nobody wanted to make a move as tensions were high. The existing European Union became closer and formed one country, they kept the title of The European Union and Queen Victoria III became the chosen leader. The European Union was the only monarchy in the 21st Century and the move surprised the two major super powers of the world the AC and GPR. In 2015 the middle east exploded, Egypt launched a massive war to conquer the African Continent while the GPR invaded the Middle East. The GPR fails after 5 years and makes peace with the Middle Eastern countries. The Middle East soon unites to form what is known today as the Middle East Associate States or the MEAS for short. (Link to the history of the MEAS)
The war had gone bad for the GPR but Egypt had huge success, after creating their first Hydrogen Bomb they used it as means to conquer. 3 Countries are known to have been obliterated by use of the bomb, infromation on this era is skektchy as best because Egypt destroyed all records of this war. What is known is that the Entire Continent fell under Egypt and became a part of what is known today as the Empire of Egypt. In 2221 the South American countries of Brazil, Columbia, Argentina, Bolivia, and Venezuela joined the American Coalition as Protectorate States. Soon Mexico, Panama, Belize and Costa Rica followed, Nicaragua refused to follow.
In 2023 an Alien object falls into the Caribbean Sea, An American Coalition Fleet recovers the object. Scientists discover that it is a probe of some kind. Inside are plans for a stargate, the humans don't use the Stargate plans but use their Fusion reactor technology and the plans for the Stargate to create an engine which will allow for faster than speed light. Seeing that there is life out there in the universe, the different countries put aside their differences and join to form the United Earth Alliance, each country can retain their Sovereignty but are states in the Alliance under the rule of a constitutional power led by President Alan Bradley.
Chapter 2: The Invention of the Hyperdrive
Records from this area are scarce but what is known is that the famous weird scientist George Zeffer invented the Hyperdrive in 2028. He tested it by strapping an Early Hyperdrive Mark 256 engine onto a car and propelling it across the ocean in one tenth of a second. Nobody until this day has been able to do the same with any other object.
Chapter 3: Humanity Spreads
In January of 2226 two colony ships were launched from Earth, the first being the USS Hope which headed for Mars with 5,000 colonists and the USS Celestial which went to the moon. In February the USS Prospector and a small fleet of Merchant and Construction vessels created the dilithium mining bases which supply the Federation Starfleet today. The USS Bonaventure and USS Cook were launched from the orbital shipyards of Earth and began scouting nearby space charting dozens of star systems and anomalies.

President Francheska Bacco was more than thrilled looking at the reports she was looking at on her desk in the Presidential office in New York City. In 10 weeks of scouting 3 Systems had been charted with 2 having habitable planets that could be colonized by the Alliance. The USS Cook had found a precursor artifact in orbit of Sitlet IV while the USS Kraken had Colonized Sitlet II. Eeverything was going fine and nothing could get better. It was an age of prosperity for the alliance. Admiral George Conway walked into her office with a padd in his hand and handed it to her.
"Well Good afternoon Admiral how can i help you?" She said taking the padd in her hand.
"Madam president the USS Bonaventure found an alien vessel destroyed near the Regulus System, they found remains of the crew inside. We believe their ship was destroyed by some other ship as there residual weapon signatures around the area."
"Admiral are you saying that there are hostile alien's near our space?" Asked Bacco beginning to worry about what these Aleins could do as the Alliance did not have a stadning warfleet to defend itself. Starfleet had just been created a couple of months ago and no concrete plans had been laid out for the creation of ships capable of fighting.
"Madam President all i am saying is that we need to be careful, our long range sensors don't pick up any communication signals around our space and our sensors have a range of 10 sectors. There are other life forms out there and this might just be a rogue ship but we need to be careful, we don't know what these aliens are capable of."
Bacco looked at Admiral Conway and nodded, ok George restrict ship traffic in the outer rim sectors until we have bases or planets colonized in those sectors.
"Yes Madam President." Conway gave a slight bow and turned around and left quickly, Bacco looked out her panaromic view of New York Harbor. She stood up and ran to the window and burst through it and fell 23 stories to the streets below.
With the death of President Bacco the Alliance fell into chaos, a state of emergency was declared on Earth and the Cabinet met to discuss, who would continue to lead the Alliance. In a vote of 56 to 44 George Conway who was currently CinC of Starfleet was chosen to become President. Conway hesitantly accepted and he was succeeded as CinC by Rear Admiral Jennifer Stratton.

We are now heading on course 234.689 to rendezvous with the USS Bonaventure in the Crevas System. With the Bonaventure we will continue scouting the nearby star systems. End Log."

By May of 2226 7 Star Systems had been scouted and all ripe for colonization, in June of 2226 President Conway passed the Colonization act which allowed Colonies to have a say in the senate and elections. The Act also allowed colonies to rule themselves while having ties with the Alliance. Seeing as how every colony ruled itself but was still under Alliance control Conway pushed more reforms through the senate and in July the Alliance became a Star Federation. The Alliance became The United Federation of Planets, although it would be a long time until it reached the status it has today it was the beginning of a bold new era. In the August the Bonaventure and Cook charted the Ankaa and Gallus Star Systems . Shortly after the charting of those systems the Alshain, Ankaa, and Crevas Systems were colonized.
In October after the supervision of the colonization progress on Gallus V the USS Cook and USS Bonaventure split off in different directions in the hopes of scouting other Star Systems that are capable of supporting life. In November the USS Cook charted the Wila System while the USS Bonaventure scouted the Holmes and Hilnor Systems both capable of supporting life. The USS Bonaventure also stumbles upon the Rigel System in late December of 2226. On Christmas Eve both the USS Cook and USS Bonaventure docked at the Shipyards in orbit of Earth which were dubbed the Iowa Fleet Shipyards because they had been constructed directly above the state of Iowa, and held that position all of orbit. On December 27th the USS Bonaventure departed Earth and headed back out to discover strange new worlds, the USS Cook departed to scout the Outer Rim sectors and see if there really was nothing beyond the Rigel System.
On January 15th the USS Saratoga and a small fleet of constructor ships began constructing Deep Space 1 which would serve as a refueling station and serve as a recreational facility for crews out on long term deep space missions.
