The Alliance was established in 3230 in Alioth, and portrays itself as a beacon of human rights and democracy in an increasingly autocratic universe. It rejects the rigid hierarchy of the [[Empire]] and the extreme capitalism of the [[Federation]], opting instead for a voluntary political association focused on the mutual prosperity of its members. However, the decentralized nature of this approach means that the Alliance's many member systems, represented by their respective [[Councillor]]s on the [[Alliance Assembly]], often struggle to come to an agreement on anything. The Alliance is led by the [[Alliance Prime Minister]], who is elected by and heads the Alliance Assembly. The current Alliance Prime Minister is [[Edmund Mahon]]. | The Alliance was established in 3230 in Alioth, and portrays itself as a beacon of human rights and democracy in an increasingly autocratic universe.
