Ooooh. I think this is something that all of us space peeps should get together and plot about.

If there is a Federation in this universe, I think the Skrell Confederation would either be a member or at least be aware of its existence. My AU backstory for them is that they're essentially what the Omegaverse has instead of grey aliens, so if the Federation is particularly interested in Earth they'd be aware of Skrellian shenanigans and vice-versa.
