The ~~Independent~~ '''Alliance '''~~of Systems~~ is one of the three galactic superpowers, the other two being the [[Federation]] and the [[Empire]]. Its political center is the system of Alioth.

The '''Independent Alliance of Systems''' is one of the three galactic superpowers, the other two being the [[Federation]] and the [[Empire]]. Its political center is the system of Alioth.

The Alliance was formed from a number of independent systems with the goal of gaining strength in numbers and defending, where necessary, against the other major powers.

Line 8:

Militarily, the cooperation is successful. Each member system contributes a portion of its navy to the Alliance Defence Force. The Council of Admirals is unified and has powers to act swiftly without government approval. Vessels of the Alliance generally bear the decals of their own navy, but display an additional Alliance Defense Force decal while operating with the unified naval force.

The Alliance was formed circa ~~3230AD~~ in Alioth, and portrays itself as a beacon of human rights and democracy in an increasingly autocratic universe. It does not conform to the political ideals of the totalitarian [[Empire]], or the authoritarian [[Federation]] and there is much cultural variation among its members. This, however, means they often struggle to achieve political agreement. The presidency changes annually around its member systems.

==Permits==

Line 15:

Such permits are rewarded by the the controlling faction for that

locked system, when you become allied with that faction. You can often

find that faction on a station outside the main system they control.

Once allied, simply visit the Bulletin Board at any of the faction's

stations to accept a job titled "Making Friends And Going Places".

Accepting the job automatically adds the permit to your FSD computer.

{{quote|The Independent Alliance of Systems arose out of a need for co-operation. Centuries of warfare and both Imperial and Federal meddling in a great many otherwise peaceful independent systems caused various small alliances to form and then get broken up over the centuries.

The Alliance formed from a number of culturally different systems with a unified goal – to provide a stronger voice in the galaxy for its member systems and ultimately to defend them against unwelcome attention from the big powers.

The Independent Alliance is culturally very varied and its leadership, which involves a presidency which moves annually between member systems, has been described as ‘challenging’. Seeking agreement between the member systems is generally a tortuous process, usually ending up with a great deal of compromise.

Militarily, co-operation has been more successful. Each member system contributes a portion of its navy to the Alliance Defence Force – the total contribution being proportional to the system's gross domestic product (GDP).

It is led by the Council of Admirals, a six-strong body made up of one leader from each of the largest member navies. The council can act swiftly without government approval, which has proved very effective, and over the years there has been little disagreement between the admirals.

Contributed vessels generally bear the decals of their own navy, but have an additional Alliance Defence Force decal applied while they are with the group – so the culture of identity and independence (and rivalries) applies here too.|Newsletter #22<ref>[http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21b73b1e&id=f72c0f91b2 Newsletter #22]</ref>}}
