If you'll notice, there is an oval filled with stars but three of the stars are bigger than the rest and glowing if I'm not mistaken. It very well could be that the original idea for the Federation was that it was made up of only 3 systems.<P>In the Trek universe though, we know that nothing evolved into starfleet or the Academy.

It might be a local facility <I>of Starfleet Academy</I>, though - an extension of the San Francisco facilities. SF Academy could use quite a few such local facilities if it has to provide the entire multi-thousand-ship Starfleet with officers...<P>Timo Saloniemi <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
