Federations in Vast Universe ©
As soon as you build an embassy, a new link will appear at your main menu : Federation. Clicking on this link will lead you to your embassy where you can check if you have any invitations to join existing federations.

If you want to join a federation, you need an invitation from that federation.`Federations cannot have unlimited members, the higher the embassy of its master(s) is the more members can join. Each level of embassy allows 3 more members to join. The highest embassy among the federation's masters is taken into consideration.`From the invitations list at your embassy, select the one you prefer and click on 'accept', you will automatically join the federation if there is room for another member. You can reject any invitation you want by clicking on 'reject' link. If you prefer to create your own federation instead, and you have an embassy level 3 or above then a link 'create a new federation' is available. Fill the tag , name and description fields and click on 'create' button.

It is advised to be part of a federation, preferably one that is strong near you, that way you will be part of a group of players that share benefits and can help each other, either by sharing experience either by defend or attack together. Also you will have visibility in the universe beyond your own means. In every star system where any of your mates has a fleet or a colony, you have visibility as well even if your scanners do not cover this system. Federations also create communities where you can meet and interact with other players throughout the world.
Federations have a structure, and players may get authorities by the federation master or be assigned with duties. It is up to any federation to set up its own hierarchy though. The player who initially creates the federation automatically gets Master status.

Officers : they have additionaly access (read and write) to Officers and Orders board, can edit federation profile page, delete posts from the board and post and visibility on members online status. Diplomats : additionally to Officers they can change political status towards other federations. Recruiters : additionally to Officers they can invite members to the federation. Masters : adiitional to everything above, they can also change member's levels and boot players from the federation.
Each Federation has its own board, where only its members have access. The board is split in 4 tabs:

Officers, where only officers can read and post System, where all system messages concerning the federation like battle reports are automatically posted, all members can read and post in this board but only officers can delete.
