Okay, I'm rushing through the 24th century. Only 3 more of the 24th, then I start making up events and using more ideas I have in mind.
An Extract from The Federation, written in the 56th Century.
The Federation, in the beginning worked. It was radical because no one had truly bothered to make an alliance, there were peace treaties between other races, empires, commonwealths and republics. There were trading agreements with other races. But there was little to no trust between the Vulcans, Andorians or the Tellarites, the three largest powers in the quadrant before Humanity arrived.
The Federation took time to be set up, when the charter was signed and declared then the major foundations were put into place. As more and more races joined the coalition became the Federation, an organisation dedicated to mutual co-operation.
Unfortunately, the Federation had thousands of flaws, the lack of information on certain races, the impulsive exploration of space into regions where other races where territorial. The Dominion ruled such a region. The Federation received many messages during its exploration of the Gamma Quadrant, telling them to cease their continuing explorations of the quadrant.
The Federation didn't listen and continued its impulsive intrusion.
Instead a war erupted, destroying millions of worlds and killing billions, the resources of the Federation became depleted as time wore on. The Federation started to help the Cardassians rebuild their world, despite opposition from many, understandable since the Cardassians HAD started the war in the first place.
Unfortunately, the 24th century would never be considered a utopia again, there was too much death in the war and unfortunately, it wouldn't be the last time.
Authors note - sorry its short, then again all the chapters are short. The Next chapter - Destruction of Romulus.
