Federation 2: Community Edition (Fed or F2CE as it is sometimes known) has been around for a very long time in some form. You can read more about the history in the guide.
This latest instantiation is a volunteer-powered, 100% free (not even a way to give us money if you wanted to) space trading game.
If you want to go experience Fed, please just go play! To learn more about how to play the game, check out the guide.
If you want to know more about the volunteer group and our plans for Fed, please keep reading.
The Federation 2 Community Team (F2CT) is a small group of people dedicated to keeping Fed online and running for both old and new players. Please contact us at support@federation2.com or use the contact us button above with questions or to express interest in helping.
