| abstract | - The Federation Science Council is a group of officials of the United Federation of Planets that advise the Federation Council on matters pertaining to Federation security, in regards to scientific aspects. A sign in Doctor Paul Manheim's laboratory on Vandor IV stated that Federation Science Council Regulation 5244 had to be observed at all times when the facility was in use, further regulating that all operational equipment had to be rated for 24 mili-cochranes or greater. (TNG: "We'll Always Have Paris") In 2370, Lieutenant Sanders of the science station on Calder II told Commander Riker, that he could not allow anyone to enter the ruins on Calder II without prior authorization by the Federation Science Council. (TNG: "Gambit, Part I") By 2370, Hekaran scientists Serova and Rabal had repeatedly explained to the Federation Science Council that warp drive was damaging subspace, specifically in and near the Hekaras Corridor, near their homeworld. The Council, knowing how much warp drive meant to Starfleet and Federation security, didn't believe their theory had enough evidence, and dismissed them. However, in 2370, when Serova committed suicide to open a subspace rupture with her shuttle's warp core, she proved her theory was true. To prevent this from happening elsewhere, not merely the Science council, but the Federation Council itself implemented a Warp 5 "speed limit" throughout areas prone to these fractures, until a way to stop it could be developed.

- The Federation Science Council was a group of officials of the United Federation of Planets that advised the Federation Council on matters pertaining to Federation security, in regards to scientific aspects. A sign in Doctor Paul Manheim's laboratory on Vandor IV stated that Federation Science Council Regulation 5244 had to be observed at all times when the facility was in use, further stating that all operational equipment had to be rated for twenty-four mili-cochranes or greater. (TNG: "We'll Always Have Paris" ) Several signs with this warning were seen close to the antimatter storage in the lab. The text was not legible on screen, though. In 2370, Lieutenant Sanders of the science station on Calder II told Commander Riker that he could not allow anyone to enter the ruins on Calder II without prior authorization by the Federation Science Council. (TNG: "Gambit, Part I" ) A few years before 2370, Hekaran scientists Serova and Rabal had repeatedly explained to the Federation Science Council that warp drive was damaging subspace, specifically in and near the Hekaras Corridor near their homeworld. The Council, knowing how much warp drive meant to Starfleet and Federation security, didn't believe their theory had enough evidence, and dismissed them.

- The Federation Science Council is a sub-group of the Federation Council which concerns itself with scientific research and policy within the United Federation of Planets. Circa 2267, the Federation Science Council temporarily reclassified the planet Mestiko from class M to class L. (TOS - Mere Anarchy eBook: The Centre Cannot Hold) In the 2360s, Hekaran scientists presented their claims that warp drive was damaging subspace to the Federation Science Council. The Council dismissed these claims until the Hekarans proved their theory in 2370 by creating a subspace rupture. This led to the Science Council's recommendation to the full Council that a Warp 5 "speed limit" be established. (TNG episode: "Force of Nature")
