    oh, definitely TNG-era Star Trek.

    Socialist Space Utopia where I can be or do whatever I like anywhere I like, free of need and want? Sounds awesome!

    What would I do? Explore the endless opportunities!

        But if you’re living on a planet far from the fighting, sure there might be a slight change in your day-to-day, but you wouldn’t be consumed by it. Even living in the Alpha Centauri system would be far from the fighting but close enough in to be a core world in the Federation.

        well, technically, FC assimilated Earth happened in an alternate timeline, but you make a good point about the Domino War and wanting to avoid that. So, yeah, I’d want to arrive after that ended.

      It was never said to be socialist. At best, the federation gave rations to its soldiers. I hate that little myth, its not canon.
