    There are two TOS episodes that directly referenced the “United Earth Space Probe Agency” as the operational command for the Enterprise.

    Basically, the United Federation of Planets did not exist when the show started, and its basic structure wasn’t settled on until well into TNG. There’s a second season TNG where the Klingons are federation members.

      Was it? Will have to rewatch, but I thought they just lied to the waking Klingon crew.
