Star Trek Already Had A Federation Before The United Federation Of Planets
First mentioned in Star Trek: The Original Series, a different Federation existed before the creation of the United Federation of Planets. Star Trek writer Gene L. Coon is credited with creating the Federation, and helping to establish Starfleet as a concept. The Federation was first mentioned in Star Trek: The Original Series season 1, episode 23, "A Taste of Armageddon," which features a visiting Federation Ambassador, and has since become a central part of the Star Trek universe and played a role in nearly every Star Trek series.
Several Star Trek projects have revolved around the United Federation of Planets and its establishment. For example, Star Trek: Enterprise leads up to the founding of the Federation, while Star Trek: First Contact depicts humanity's first encounter with the Vulcans. So many disparate elements had to come together for the Federation to form, and its existence exemplifies Gene Roddenberry's utopian vision of the future.
