The Federation novels form the best-developed era of H. Beam Piper's Terro-Human Future History, set as the Terran Federation colonizes new worlds and later collapses into interstellar conflict; core titles include Four-Day Planet (1961), Space Viking (1963), and the linked story collection Empire (1981). After Piper's death, John F. Carr and other collaborators carried the era forward with further Space Viking and Federation-era novels.
