That is until the occasional apocalyptic events (assimilated Earth in First Contact), or the upcoming Dominion War..

But if you're living on a planet far from the fighting, sure there might be a slight change in your day-to-day, but you wouldn't be consumed by it. Even living in the Alpha Centauri system would be far from the fighting but close enough in to be a core world in the Federation.

well, technically, FC assimilated Earth happened in an alternate timeline, but you make a good point about the Domino War and wanting to avoid that. So, yeah, Iโ€™d want to arrive after that ended.
