The Full Story
Federation History
The forty-year history of The Federation is a proud one.
Roots in Roddenberry
The Federation was started during a telephone call between Federation founder Russ Haslage and 'Star Trek' creator Gene Roddenberry.
​
The conversation started with the question, "What should the ultimate 'Star Trek' fan organization be?"
​
The answer from Roddenberry was an easy one (though it took some guidance for Haslage to reach it):
"Do what the crew of the Enterprise does in every episode: go places and help people."
​

Growth
Since launching the organiation on June 1, 1984 (opening day of 'Star Trek III: The Search for Spock' at Roddenberry's directive), The Federation saw tremendous growth with chapters being commissioned all over the globe.
Fulfilling Our Mission
Our world is a troubled one. War, natural disasters and other factors create need wherever one might look.
​
Our mission is to help those in need in every corner of the world, allowing us also to teach that inclusion, respect and understanding is the way to a brighter future for us all.
​
The IDIC philosophy shows us that our differences are our strengths. When allowed to meld, those differences will allow mankind to do wondrous things.
