It's impossible to say if the Terran Empire in STO is the same time line as the ones in the shows, or possibly an alternate one. If it's the same as the shows, I believe the 'empire' fell not long after the ToS show and the human race (as well as others) were enslaved in the DS9 versions. A rebellion was being formed with the DS9 line. STO takes place a number of decades since then, so who knows what has happened between then and now in that alternate universe.
Or, it's yet another alternate universe where the Terran Empire never fell?
During Archer's era, they had T'Pol and Phlox on the crew.
During Kirk's era, they still had Spock.
I can easily see that they've continued to enslave races, pressing them into service. Just consider them slaves.
Just to derail a bit... nice shots of your captain and crew. I always liked your CoH stuff, and the STO art looks just as awesome. I assume the open spot on the left (from viewing perspective) is for the additional bridge officers on your crew shot?
According to some books, after the DS9 shows, Mirror Kirk came back and rebuilt the Terran Empire, and was angry about how he was forced out. He then proceeded to enslave all kinds of races. It wouldn't be too hard to imagine him sending such races out as cannon fodder.
Its not the Terran Empire anymore, its the Terran Federation.

Well, first time they were encountered in the original series a Vulcan served on the crew. So I suspect they do allow other races in.
