[@Hael] Sorta getting it, yeah, except of course in Space, the war will be more brutal with the Xim now allied another Empire or two.

I'm sort of worried that the Federation won't survive. I mean, even if the Commonwealth defends them, that same Commonwealth will likely turn right around and try to absorb them into itself. 

Unless the war is either really soft, or the Federation manages to avoid the brunt of it, I can imagine it either being conquered by the Xim or someone else, or becoming part of the Commonwealth.

Not saying it's gonna happen for sure: just that it might.
