  • Already some amazing points here, but I will add one thing:

    No matter how utopian your empire becomes, those who grow up in utopia do not have their guard up watching for evil in every corner. The Star Wars flipping back and forth from Republic to Empire over the millennia makes sense.

    The federation existed for barely a millennia in its first incarnation. A fall of a galactic empire makes sense. Rebuilding it makes for good story.

    Especially, and I can’t stress this enough, when it is a parallel to the world we live in. Trek has always been a way to mirror events and teach moral lessons… But most of all, hope.
