That's an interesting idea. The Terran rebellion on Deep Space Nine creates a strong, just federation (small "f") of planets.

Could even be a catalyst for the “kinder, gentler Georgiou” we’ve been told to expect in the Section 31 show.
IKR? Seeing what becomes of her empire and people would really throw her for a loop.
Which is exactly what happens in the novels.
Michael Chabon has indeed confirmed that V'draysh is a corruption of "Federation."

It was on twitter, IIRC.
Thanks. Edited with link.
I went for “Andromeda” where the Federation is but a memory and the original member species have fallen into rivalries and uneasy political alliances. Like Enterprise, but with better cgi.
In this new time period we can’t trust Andorians, or the Vulcans and Betazoids have teamed up and recreated the Stone of Gol and can kill with a thought.
The Bynars and the Denobulans have created a subspecies of cyborgs due to their interest in nanite technology.
And what’s left of humanity has built that army of slave Soong type androids Bruce Maddox wanted to build in order to defend from the remnants of the romulan empire (now a slightly larger group of survivor descendants from the destruction of Romulus in the unaltered kelvin timeline - I.e. Prime universe).
I seem to be in a minority in that I’m looking forward to season 3 far more than either of the previous two seasons.

Well...that's interesting.
I didn't know they went beyond the rebellion.
You're not missing anything.
Calypso doesn't provide any context for Craft and his peoples' war with what they call the V'draysh. The Federation might have segmented or degraded into a confederation that calls itself the V'draysh. Or it could be that Craft's people corrupted the name of the Federation. The war could be an unjustified invasion by the V'draysh or it could have been provoked by Craft's people.
True. But Craft generally comes across as sympathetic and his description of the V'draysh left me with a negative impression. But I'm on board for at least something vaguely recognizable.
Plenty of members of the Maquis were sympathetic as well.
We know Craft's people (based upon what was shown in the story) are a human minority on a mostly nonhuman planet, so cut off from Earth culture he doesn't understand Earth writing, Earth foods, or days of the week.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but isn't it possible the events of "CALYPSO" take place 1,000 years AFTER the time Discovery lands in, putting it at about the 42nd century?
By the time of Enterprise J, a lot of Federation citizens were from multi-species backgrounds. OTOH, they were having to throw centuries old ships into the fray at Procyon V. I'd like to think the Federation still exists but clearly something is wrong in this century, probably some regression.
They could go the route of the real Rome- the Federation became geographically too big to govern and divided, then half of it fell apart. So, maybe there is still a Federation somewhere, just not where Discovery first appears. Daniels might have been from where there is still a Federation.
And, maybe Data is guiding galactic events from behind the scenes like R. Daneel Olivaw. I'd love that.

What goes up, must eventually come down. Just nature. Not sure the Prime timeline really has too many other interesting places to go than the "Fall of the Federation".
That could be interesting, especially if the Picard show provides some background of the seeds of other alliances, like parts of the Romulans joining up. Or maybe even the Alpha Quadrant powers coalescing against some outside threat from another galaxy, like the Kelvans.
