"Who needs a knightmare rip-off when you can just put wheels on a C-8 and call it a day? Perhaps that might be too much though, an AFV missile might be enough to do the trick"

New allies, new members, new rivals, and new enemies, is what the Stellar Allied Treaty Organization and the United Terran Federation faces as they continue to explore the vast expanse of space.
With their massive policies of expansion and exploration, contact was eventually bound to take place. But is it luck, or fate that shall decide whether the Federation finds itself with new allies or new enemies?

Relations with the Nushkrat-Ril Commonwealth have gone spectacularly. Both the United Terran Federation and the Commonwealth seem to favor excellent diplomatic relations, as both civilizations learn more details of each other. Diplomatic outreaches and economic interests and opportunities seem to be great motivators for both countries to pursue an amiable relationship
Eventually, this led them to receive an invitation to join the Stellar Allied Treaty Organization, at which point however, they reluctantly accepted. 
This reluctance completely disappeared with the signing of economic trade deals that would greatly benefit their economy, and significantly improve spacefaring technologies. Both the Klaxosaur Directorate and Nekeshanus Imperial Ascendant seem to approve of their newfound ally, as some research agreements and technology exports take place.
A cultural and historical exchange was also set up, as the Federation learns of the histories of their newfound allies.

Unfortunately, the Klaxosaur Directorate, while exploring another system, found one of their drones fired upon by an unknown hostile vessel. Luckily, the drone was able to withstand all impacts, and nearby naval forces were able to respond and quickly forced said hostile vessel to retreat.
This would be known as the first contact with the Uigurian Federal Republic.
Weeks later, the Uiguri brought  their fleets in what was now a contested system.

Calling upon their allies, the Nekeshan Imperial Ascendant and the United Terran Federation gladly brought together a combined navy to assist the Directorate if war were to break out.

The Uigurians eventually established contact and diplomatic relations with the Stellar Allied Treaty Organization, and apologized for the incident wherein a malfunction caused one of their frigates to accidentally set to fire upon all coming ships

The Uigurians eventually established contact and diplomatic relations with the Stellar Allied Treaty Organization, and apologized for the incident wherein a malfunction caused one of their frigates to accidentally set to fire upon all coming ships. They explained that they were in a cold war against the Holy Xalavian Empire, and tensions were high as both nations neared total conflict.
Federal Intelligence was sent in to assess whether if the Federation should support either nation, or avoid intervention.
