The [[Councillor]]s of the [[Alliance Assembly]] are elected by the people of each member state. Some member states have slightly different electoral rules based on their history. The number of Councillors within the Alliance Assembly is based on the size of each member state's respective populations; some only have one. The Councillors represent their member system politically in Parliament. The meetings of the Alliance Assembly are conducted virtually but run on [[Turner's World]] in [[Alioth]]. The [[Alliance Prime Minister|Prime Minister]] is elected by the Councillors, and it is his or her job to corral them into some sort of consensus which is generally a slow process.

Due to much cultural variation the Alliance Assembly rarely gets anything done.<ref name="Brookes" /> | ||
The Alliance Assembly is the central body for the Alliance as a whole. While parallels can be drawn with the European Union in the 21st century, the Assembly lacks the law making powers of the EU. It mainly functions as a means for establishing common policies and treaties rather than laws. It also acts as an arbitration body between member states and depending on Assembly votes can enforce sanctions or corrective measures. However the politics of the member states often makes this a tricky process.<ref name=":6">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0R8jZN2_tJU Tourist Spot 0113</ref> | The Alliance Assembly is the central body for the Alliance as a whole.

The Alliance | {{Main|Alliance Defence Force}} | ||
The Alliance Defence Force is the Alliance's primary warfare force. ADF fleets patrol Imperial systems, confront incursions from other superpowers, factions, and organisations, and support allies and friendly factions across the Core Systems. The ADF is led by the [[Council of Admirals]]. | |||
== | The Alliance does not have a navy auxiliary like the Federation and Empire. Consequently, none of the Alliance's ships or systems are locked behind a [[Ranks|rank]] system. The only [[Permits|permit]]-locked system within the Alliance is its capital, [[Alioth]], and its permit can be acquired by gaining reputation with the Alioth Independents minor faction. | ||
=== Alliance Defence Force ships === | |||
[[Lakon Spaceways]] has designed and produced three ship models for use by the [[Alliance Defence Force]] and its allies. Unlike the Federation and the Empire, the ADF lacks its own capital ship, corvette, and fighter models, but these roles are filled by various other vessels provided by the naval forces of Allied member systems. | |||
