For humanity I think by then there would be several subsets of humans. Depending on genetic engineering, which could keep humans the same really, humans will have adapted to many different planets, evolving naturally, selected breeding, or genetic engineering. Desert, tundra, water, all will have their own race of man.
By then humans will have extended beyond Earth with or without FTL travel. Its just an evenutallity I think. Alien races will be so different in technology level god-like beings with infiniate tech will be next door to beings a few hundred years ahead of humans. Unlike Sci-Fi the real world would, by common sense, have species millions or even a billion years more advanced in the same area as races only a few hundred years into space flight.
For Trek I would say that the Federation is long gone. In ENT they hinted that it doesn't survive the 31st century. I would suspect that other organizations have come and gone since then and humans would have evolved into noncorporeal beings. The races that the shows do one episode stops at that are a primitive society will be the leaders of the pact running things in the Milky Way with humanity at Q level.
I don't know enough about B5.
Star Wars I think will be basically the same
It has the uncanny ability to hardly progress technologically. I bet the GFFA (Galaxy Far Far Away) will have colonized other parts of space as Hyperspace continues to improve in practicality. The Bith will still be around as will the humans but many other species will have died out. There will still be the occational mad man that could control the Galaxy or invading armies from lost clusters or Galaxies.The Force will be balanced by then. In the meantime dozens of Dark Side Empires and uprisings happened but for the most part the Grey Side of the Force will rule. The Skywalker name only a legend with things such as the GFFA (Galactic Federation of Free Alliances) and other things from the current era. There might not even be Jedi anymore.
For Warhammer 40k I see that they would have to change their name to Warhammer 200k
That aside it seems the current trend is Tau superiority. The Necron are still in the mix but might be asleep. So they're either hiding or a great Tau-Necron war. Or perhaps Necron have already won. Humanity like the Eldar are has beens since the current trend seems to be against humanity.
