    Federation and Starfleet anthems

    Simple question: Have we ever heard either a Federation or Starfleet anthem on one of the shows/movies?
    I am sure they are playing something that might be one or the other on the DS9 ep with the beseball game, right before the game starts, but I have no idea if this was ever intended to be the Federartion or Starfleet anthem.

    If not, has one of you ever used a piece of music in your games as one of those anthems, if so, what was it?

    Could "Beyond the Rim of the Starlight" be the starfleet anthem and the TMP/TNG theme be the Federation anthem?

    Consider it stolen for my game

    Yeah, but it has to be the slower version...

    It is in our campaign.
    "War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

    I still like Copland's "Fanfare for the Common Man" in this regard

    But it's not canon in the slightest

    If you haven't heard it, listen to it -- it is a great, uplifting piece of music.

    Actually there is an official anthem. In the DS9 episode with Sisko's 'Evil Vulcan Rival' at the end there is a baseball game.
    At the beginning a theme is played, which I believe is the anthem. There is the UFP flag and everybody is at attention - comparable to the US baseball games as I assume. I think that is the anthem.

    Yes, that was the intention as before sporting events our National Anthem is played
