The GalactaConflict science fiction universe primarily consists of Earth expansions into space after the utilisation of string theory to propel starships to distances further than prieviously postulated. For more information on this, please see Dimensional superdrive.
Soon, the main political fronts on Earth saw this as an oportunity to show their supremacy and demonstrate their greatness. The Atlantic Northwest Union, Commonwealth League, Northern EuroAsian Nations, and East Asian Front all took part in the struggle for power. Dozens of otherwise barren spheres of rock were soon terraformed and turned into colonies.
However, others had similar ideas. The inhabitants of the Procyon system, the Varran (evolved from lizards) expanded into Amerikan territory (or the other way round), and thus began yet another complex political conflict, with some Varanide nations conspiring with the super-nations of Earth, some fighting against, some declaring themselves utterly neutral.
The discovery of the Caasuri bird-people occupying the Ross-154 star system did not help, and soon the space between them had turned into a deadly interplanetary game of Risk©, with treaties, declarations of war, and compromises flying almost as rapidly as ML-EM wave rays and charged ion blasts. It was finally agreed to set up a DMZ (demilitarized zone) surrounding the Lalande 21185 planetary system. The full details can be seen in Treaty of 21185. See above for politics in general.
Two serieses were based on GalactaConflict:

GalactaConflict: The First Series was launched roughly half a decade after "Star Trek: Phase II" had been thrown out of the window, and covered the adventures of Captain Walter Drake of the Commonwealth Leauge Navy ship Acheron, and also presented the GalactaConflict Universe through a series of documentaries, narrated by (supposedly) Chief Science Warrant Officer Angela Colton.
The two styles were often ordered alternately during the first and second seasons, each ten episodes long, unless there was a continual story arc in the main story. During the third and fourth seasons, Ms. Colton would start the documentary, and the main story would cut in at the midpoint (and the plot of the episode was usually tied in with the documentary's content), and finished the show. People on the whole preferred this form of one-and-a-half-hour long episode, but the series nonetheless ended in the fourth season, with a stunning finale.

GalactaConflict returned right after the fall of Star Trek: Voyager. It originally was heavily criticised, due to the trend of "anti-Sci Fi"ness, but gradually rose in popularity, as it took an original take on the science-fiction universe. It featured multiple simultaneously occuring plots, but the producers decided to make it easy to follow with a plot map at the very beginning of each episode.
"Men of Tommorow" documented an uneasy peace, even close to war, including skirmishes with the hostile Caasuri and Varran. The lead character, taking over from retired Drake, is recently promoted Captain Robert Raleigh, head of Starship Progression. Ironically, the crew of the ship are more experienced than Raleigh himself, and much of the show's humor derives form this. The series is lauded for its excellent character development, turning the rookie captain, to an experienced leader. The fifth season is currently under way.
