In 2600, President Kessler removed all charter requirements from [[Alioth]]'s Federal Membership criteria, offering the system de-facto full membership in the Federation. Kessler hoped that the move would garner enough local support in Alioth to give the Federation a key advantage against the [[Empire]] in the ongoing struggle for control of the system. Instead, the offer divided Alioth's resistance movement, the Cakers, into pro-Federation and pro-independence factions. After a period of minor infighting, the pro-independence faction under Quentin Devises secured control of the Cakers and the planet [[Alioth/Turner's World|Fruitcake]] in 2603. The failure of Kessler's gambit was confirmed in 2606, when Federal diplomats finally gained an audience with Devises only to be informed that their membership offer had been rejected.<ref name="EE">''[[Elite Encounters RPG]]''</ref> | In 2600, President Kessler removed all charter requirements from [[Alioth]]'s Federal Membership criteria, offering the system de-facto full membership in the Federation.
