Most of us know the federation and all the other "empires" and "unions" are made up of planets in proximity of one another, like continents. With the various neutral zones flowing between them like rivers, So what is a planet in the middle of the federation (not an important planet, like betazed or vulcan) but a minor planet with some minor race we've never heard of wants to go over to the romulan empire, or (in the tos era) the klingon empire? how in your opinion would the federation react to this? Imagine the planet has little value as a federation member, maybe its even a minor drain on federation resources. whats to stop a race from ceding from the feds?
How far would the feds go to keep their integrity intact? especially to stop an enemy from having a base of operations within their borders?
