    I played Star Frontiers/Knight Hawks for far too long.  :)

    If I remember correctly the initial founding of the federation fleet
was
to beat back a large Sathar incursion (The First Sathar war).

    When you purchased Knight Hawks (an expansion/stand alone game for
Star
Frontiers) you got, for the time, a pretty decent set of starship combat
rules and a campaign game where you fought the second Sathar war.  It
was a
pretty intense fight -- though some of the particulars have been lost to
time (i.e. I played that, oh, about 16 years ago).

    But you're right -- the Sathar were the Great Enemy who struck from
the
shadows, supplied weapons and such, etc, etc, etc.....
