early Federation flag.
Thirteen stars. We know that the four founding members were Earth, Vulcan, Andoria, and Tellar Prime, so what could the other nine be?
PNQ: Speculations?
Memory Alpha posits Alpha Centauri as a fifth founding member. "Journey to Babel" features six other races that could plausibly be founding members, with Alpha Centauri possibly being among their number.
Memory Beta places Alpha Centauri as fifth and Rigel as sixth.
Other planets from the Memory Beta page that seem likely as old members include Benzar, the Medusans, and Regulus.
But that's just a theory, a...oh, wait, that's another show.
