==The Sol Alliance==
The human juggernaut, this federal union is the home of humanity and the largest nation in the Orion Spur. Though often held back by bureaucratic corruption and inefficiency with archaic laws, political infighting, and economic troubles that have led to over a century of decline and waning influence, many now look to reform the Alliance.


The human superpower, this federal union is the unquestioned bastion of humanity and the largest nation in the Orion Spur. Though often held back by bureaucratic corruption and efficiency, many look to reform the fading Alliance. The great megacorporations, and humanity as a whole, originated in the Sol Alliance. It is one of the most diverse entities in space, with people from every species, background, and origin living in it.
A powerhouse in terms of cultural and political influence, the Alliance of Sovereign Solarian Nations (ASSN), commonly referred to as SolGov, the Sol Alliance, and sometimes the Alliance, is a federal union of 135 member state star systems, and 324 dependencies including the Eridani Federation. Dependencies vary between undeveloped star systems and outposts on asteroids, to sprawling space stations. The capital of the Sol Alliance is the bustling Unity Station in orbit over Earth. The Sol Alliance is divided into three administrative sections, the Inner, Middle, and Outer Colonies.


An absolute juggernaut in terms of cultural and political influence, the Alliance of Sovereign Solarian Nations (ASSN), commonly referred to as SolGov, the Sol Alliance, and sometimes the Alliance, is a federal union of 125 member state star systems, and 212 dependencies including the [[Eridani Federation]]. Dependencies can vary between undeveloped star systems, outposts on asteroids, or even micro-nation space stations. The capital of the Sol Alliance is the bustling Unity Station in orbit over Earth. 52 Alliance states and 25 dependencies are located within the [[Background summary#Inner Colonies|Inner Colonies]]. The remaining dependencies are located within the [[Background summary#Mid Colonies|Mid Colonies]] and outer colonies. With control of hundreds of systems and a large population of about 100 billion, the Sol Alliance is by far the largest nation within all of [[Background summary#Known Space|known space]]. It is arguably the most culturally and linguistically diverse entity within known space, owing primarily to the age of its colonies and its control over the [[Sol|Sol system]] and [[Sol#Earth (Sol III)|Earth]].  
===Demographics===
The Sol Alliance is either the most populated or second most populated in known space, though due to the lack of accurate census-taking in the Coalition of Colonies it is hard to determine. As of the 2554 census, the Sol Alliance has 112 billion citizens and 11 billion residents. By breadth of controlled territory SolGov is the largest sovereign state with every ethnicity, religion, culture, and language found somewhere in its borders. Governed at Unity Station in orbit of Earth, hundreds of systems and dozens of member states find representation in the Alliance.  


===Economics===
==The Colony Rings==
The Alliance is divided into three major administrative rings, based on time of colonization and distance from [[Sol]].


The economy of the Sol Alliance is dominated almost entirely by the four megacorporations: [[Nanotrasen Corporation]] [[Hephaestus Industries]], [[Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals]] and [[Einstein Engines]]. Nanotrasen is the largest of these mega-corporations, utilizing its monopoly on phoron to keep the Sol Alliance firmly reliant on them for intergalactic travel.
===Inner Colonies===
Also known as the Inner Ring, the inner colonies lie within 100 lightyears of [[Sol]]. These planets are the oldest settlements outside of the Solar System, and have the highest quality of life. It is the most populous of the three rings. Solarians from these systems are in favor of SolGov rule, with much of Unity Station’s policies focusing on these areas. Compared to the rest of the Alliance it is more welcoming of other species and belief systems, though this acceptance is still mostly limited to the occasional Skrell or Diona, with the few Tajara begrudgingly accepted. Citizens of these areas push the most for expansion of SolGov authority over human areas outside its control. The separatist Republic of Biesel was considered part of these inner colonies.  


The Alliance never fully recovered from the Second Great Depression of 2260. That economic collapse and the resulting civil war left confidence in the Alliance economy extremely shaky. The Alliance has an extremely condensed cycle of boom and bust, with a brief year of growth followed by two years of recession, on average. This is partially the reason that trans-stellar corporations are so powerful and influential: With Sol Alliance bonds or ventures radically decentralized and untrustworthy, the resilient economic strength of trans-stellar corporations makes them a much more lucrative investment.
====Notable Inner Colonies====
*[[Epsilon Eridani]]
*[[Mictlan]]


The prosperity of the Alliance is extremely centralized to the inner colonies, most notably the Sol system, which benefit from their proximity to Earth and being the commercial and industrial centers. Farther away from Sol, the average wealth of systems gradually decrease. The frontier of the Sol Alliance territory tend to be far less wealthy than the inner colonies. In some extreme cases, travel to and from these systems can be made difficult as maintenance of bluespace beacons or shuttle services are the responsibility of individual systems. The only assurance in all Alliance systems is the presence of the federally funded Extranet post-service, allowing messages, if not people, to go from one end of the Alliance to the other. And the tax office.
===Middle Colonies===
Also known as the Middle Ring. The Middle Colonies lie between 100 and 200 lightyears from Sol, and are the most average areas of the Alliance. Citizens of this ring feel neither the benefits of Alliance rule nor the benefits of distance from Unity Station. Corruption and bureaucracy plague this area in particular, and discontent with the establishment is high, with the Reform Party finding much of its support here. The headquarters of the Reform Party is located here on the planet of Silversun, a prominent fiscal center. Quality of life in this area is almost as high as the inner ring, albeit further out of reach toward the outer area. Some systems find themselves in a battle between SolGov and megacorporation control, with it being unclear where the two begin and end.


== Population and Planets ==
====Notable Middle Colonies====
The capital of the Sol Alliance is the bustling Unity Station in orbit over Earth. 52 Alliance states and 25 dependencies are located within the Inner Colonies. The remaining dependencies are located within the Mid Colonies and outer colonies. With control of hundreds of systems and a large population of about 100 billion, the Sol Alliance is by far the largest nation within all of known space. It is arguably the most culturally and linguistically diverse entity within known space, owing primarily to the age of its colonies and its control over the Sol system and Earth.
*[[Silversun]]
*[[New Hai Phong]]


===The Jewel Planets===
===Outer Colonies===
Also known as the Outer Ring. Lying between 200 and 300 lightyears from Sol, the outer ring is the least densely populated of the Alliance. While Unity Station’s civilian rule is felt the lightest here, the military presence is at its heaviest, with the Sol Navy constantly patrolling the borders of the Alliance. Quality of life in the outer ring is the lowest in the Alliance, but still high compared to areas of the frontier. Inhabitants here are divided between favoring expansion of SolGov influence or some form of autonomy, with the System Freedom party having most of its support here. Two prominent planets in this debate are Konyang and Arteisa, taking the prior and latter positions respectively. A large percentage of military personnel are recruited from these systems. Due to a history of Unathi piracy and raiding on the fringe of the Alliance, there is a distinct dislike of the species here.
====Notable Outer Colonies====
*[[Konyang]]
*[[Artesia]]


The "jewel planets" are considered to be the "jewels in the crown" of the Sol Alliance. They are worlds that are major net contributors to the alliance as a whole and would cause an extreme detriment were they to be lost. As such, these worlds tend to wield great power across the Alliance and are generally treated with much more respect by SolGov in comparison with other colonies and are given much more care when angered.
==Economics==


====[[Earth]]====
The economy of the Sol Alliance is dominated almost entirely by the four megacorporations: [[Nanotrasen Corporation]] [[Hephaestus Industries]], [[Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals]] and [[Einstein Engines]]. Nanotrasen is the largest of these mega-corporations, utilizing its monopoly on phoron to keep the Sol Alliance firmly reliant on them for intergalactic travel.


Located in the Sol System, Earth is the birth place of [[Timeline_of_Humanity|humanity]] and exports the most resources, especially food products, compared to any other planet in the Sol Alliance. It is also the most populus world in the known universe, supporting over 20 billion sentient souls.  
The Alliance has not fully recovered from the Second Great Depression of 2260. The economic collapse and the resulting civil war left confidence in the Alliance economy extremely shaky. The Alliance has an extremely condensed cycle of boom and bust, with a brief year of growth followed by two years of recession, on average. This is partially the reason that trans-stellar corporations are so powerful and influential: With Sol Alliance bonds or ventures radically decentralized and untrustworthy, the resilient economic strength of trans-stellar corporations makes them a much more lucrative investment.


====[[Mars]]====
The prosperity of the Alliance is extremely centralized to the inner colonies, most notably the Sol system, which benefit from their proximity to Earth and being the commercial and industrial centers. Farther away from Sol, the average wealth of systems gradually decrease. The frontier of the Sol Alliance territory tend to be far less wealthy than the inner colonies. In some extreme cases, travel to and from these systems can be made difficult as maintenance of bluespace beacons or shuttle services are the responsibility of individual systems. The only assurance in all Alliance systems is the presence of the federally funded Extranet post-service, allowing messages, if not people, to go from one end of the Alliance to the other. And the tax office.


Located in the Sol System, Mars is famous for its free spiritedness having many times been at logger heads with the Sol Alliance as a whole. It exports various goods across the Alliance and has an extremely prestigious military history.
==Politics==
 
The Alliance of Sovereign Solarian Nations is governed by a hybrid of a Westminster parliamentary system and a federal democracy. Due to the complex negotiations required centuries ago to form the first iteration of the Sol Alliance, SolGov politics are held together by complex traditions and a nearly impenetrable tangle of ancient laws and regulations gripping any attempt to reform the government. Several parties vie for influence in the Alliance, with the two largest parties being the Sol First and Human Unity parties, followed by the System Freedom Party and the Reform Party. The Sol First party is led by Senator Thomas Roon, and the Human Unity party by former admiral Prime Minister Michael Frost.
====[[Venus]]====
 
Located in the Sol System, Venus is an example of humanities tenacity and mastery, having been considered uncolonisable in the past. The planet is now a major cultural hub, exporting all forms of media across the alliance alongside its high quality machine part and weapons exports. Venus has surpassed even Earth as the Sol Alliance's culutral center with numerious people from across all walks of live travelling to the planet to "make it big."
 
====[https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=Eridani_Federation  Oran]====
 
Located in the Epsilon Eridani system, by viture of the Eridani Corporate Federation's special relationship with the Sol Alliance Oran has become the defacto commerical trading hub of Alliance suprassing Unity Station, the Alliance capital. A place with a huge rich/poor divide, it is none the less a great place for business. It exports every commodity known to man but its real power comes from the vast, vast sums of credits the planet reinvests into the Alliance.


====[[New Hai Phong]]====  
===Government===
SolGov is made up of three co-equal branches of government consisting of the Executive, which is headed by the Prime Minister, the Legislative, composed of the Parliament and Senate, and the Judiciary, headed by the Alliance Supreme Court. The Solarian Senate is composed of 138 senators, one from each member state and three from Earth. The Parliament is composed of 462 representatives, one from each dependency and member state of the Alliance. The current Prime Minister is Michael Frost of the Human Unity Party, governing in a coalition with the Reform Party.


Located in the Wintermute's Perches system, New Hai Phong is a highly industrialized savannah world. It has a self sufficient economy, exportinng everthing from food to minerals. The planet became famous for its tobacco exports, which were said to make up the entire known galaxy's supply. In more recent years, New Hai Phong has become known for [[Hephaestus Industries]] pervasive presence on the planet.
==[[Sol Alliance Military]]==


====[[Mictlan]]====
The armed forces of the Sol Alliance have a long and storied history, with its origins going back to the militaries of 21st century Earth. Originally a peacekeeping force among the human colonies, it has evolved into a military titan, albeit one chained to a rock of massive commitments across Solarian space and encumbered by a tangled bureaucracy. Despite this, it remains on paper the most powerful professional force in inhabited space.


Located in the Alpha Centauri system, Mictlan is considered a wild, untammed world with vast sweeping jungles and rich seas. It is famous for its exports of underwater goods such as coral, fish, wood fungi  heavy and metals such as uranium for which the natives find little use. It provides the largest amount of seafood and uranium in the Alliance, feeding and powering many worlds.
==Alliance Anthem==
 
===Key Colonies===
 
'''Titan''' - The largest of Saturn's natural satellites, Titan consists of large, enclosed [https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=Arcology  arcologies] similar to those on [[Mars]]. It hosts a major [[Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals]] research and development facility. The economy is self sufficent and it exports vast quanities of water across the Sol Alliance.
 
'''[[Luna]]''' - [[Earth]]'s only natural satellite, the moon is dominated by subterranean cities that are connected by environmentally sealed roads and railways deep underground. The economy is largely self sufficient with a booming tourist industry.
 
'''Wolf Harrington''' - Wolf Harrington is a small subterranean mining and habitation complex in the Sol system, situated on Comet 43P. It is an import-export economy exporting large quantities of ore and importing food, water and equipment.
 
'''Trummer''' - A flotilla like colony located in the outer colonies. The Trummer is an amalgamation of multiple colony ships grafted together. It is a self sufficient economy exporting large quantities of ore and refined minerals.
 
'''Other''' - There are numerous colonies that exist within the Sol Alliance. Feel free to create your own concepts for use in-game. Remember that any Sol Colony would be run by an elected governor, most likely be an egalitarian democratic society (or at least be being strong-armed into being one) and would expect to contribute to the Sol Alliance or be on the path to contributing. A theocratic slaver nation isn't going to be accepatble however a former theocratic ex-slaver democracy struggling against its new form of governance would be an interesting concept. Use your common sense and if in doubt, feel free to speak with a member of the human lore team.
 
===[[Languages]]===
Sol Common is the dominant language of the Sol Alliance, across all classes of society. Tau Ceti Basic is commonly available in schools, with Tradeband being uncommon and used mainly amongst those seeking to do business across all of human space. Freespeak is viewed as the language of lower-class, less civilized foreigners, due to rough relations with the Frontier Alliance. Sign language is a popular elective course in higher education in the Sol Alliance.

Freespeak is viewed as the language of lower-class, less civilized foreigners, due to rough relations with the Frontier Alliance. Sign language is a popular elective course in higher education in the Sol Alliance.
===Overview===
The Sol Alliance operates as a hybrid between a Federal Democracy and Westminister system, while at the same time also being an alliance between systems, hence its name. Being the result of original negotiations on Earth to create a new world order between over a hundred nations, including the former United Nations, and the resulting few hundred years of development has left the Alliance government a nearly impenetrable labyrinth of complexity and seeming hypocrisies. An ongoing joke by seasoned politicians is that no one elected to an office actually knows what they're doing.
 
===Current Ruling Parties===
 
The current status quo came into power after the ''Unathi Crisis'' of June 2457 sparked a snap election. The election saw a radical shift in the political climate of the Sol Alliance, with GAIA and ATLAS forming a coalition that currently holds 73% of seats in the Alliance Parliament, and 65% of the seats in the Alliance Senate. This gives it a super majority in the Parliament and Senate, effectively seizing control of the entire Alliance legislator. Their coalition appointed Miles Theodore Chater as their choice for Prime Minister, with him becoming the Prime Minister of the Sol Alliance on June 30th, 2457.
 
'''[https://forums.aurorastation.org/viewtopic.php?p=107462#p107462 However, this dichotomy was radically changed in October of 2460.]'''
 
'''[[GAIA]]''', also known as Earth and Ares Initiative Associated is a party founded by Gregory Theadore Miles on the 22th of April, 2447 with a primary agenda of furthering the prosperity and ensuring survival of humanity, concentrating on the places where majority resides. They seek to investments and regulations on Alliance economy, wanting to decrease the overall power and economic significance of mega-corporations. The new GAIA front has retained a majority in both houses only thanks to their unification with other parties. GAIA now has 42% of seats in the Senate from 33%. They also have 51% of seats in Parliament, up from 44%.
 
'''[[ATLAS]]''', also known as the Sol National Union, is a party was founded early in the creation of the Alliance, and its mission and platform has slowly evolved. Now the mandate of ATLAS is a "human first" policy, stressing the importance of human supremacy in the galaxy for the greater prosperity and safety of mankind. They have strong grassroots support in the outer colonies, and their coalition with GAIA have given them a very strong voice in the federal government. ATLAS now makes up 40% of the seats in the Senate from 32%. They also now make up 49% of seats on Parliament, up from 29%.
 
'''[[The Worker's Party]]''', which holds 11% of the seats in Parliament and 15% in the Senate, is a coalition of socialists, communists, and anti-megacorporation advocates that seek radical unionization and the dismantling of the major galactic monopolies.
 
The '''Utopian Front''' is the last major party, which holds 16% of the seats in Parliament and 19% of the seats in the Senate. They seek equal integration of all alien species into the Sol Alliance, increased regulation on mega-corporations, and peaceful coexistance with other major galactic factions.
 
== Branches of Government ==
 
The Sol Alliance's federal government is divided into three branches of government, and their relationship with one another is incredibly complex, but the basics have much in common with 21st century federalism.
 
=== The Executive Branch ===
 
The Executive Branch is based on Unity Station in orbit of Earth. It carries out and enforces laws passed by the legislative branch. It includes the Prime Minister, the Cabinet, executive departments, independent agencies, and other boards, commissions, and committees.
 
Alliance citizens do not directly elect the Prime Minister. Parties appoint a representative from within their party to represent them as candidate for Prime Minister, and that representative becomes Prime Minister if their party wings the majority of seats in Parliament or, during a tie, they enter a coalition with another party to gain the majority.
 
The current Prime Minister of the Sol Alliance is '''Miles Theodore Chater''', a member of the GAIA party. He won a contested election in June of 2457 during snap elections during the Unathi Crisis. He won with his platform of "humanity first", though more moderate than the ATLAS platform.
 
=== The Judicial Branch ===
 
The judicial branch interprets the meaning of laws, applies laws to individual cases, and decides if laws violate Alliance law.
 
The judicial branch is comprised of the Alliance Supreme Court and other federal courts.
 
=== The Legislative Branch ===
 
The legislative branch is made up of the bicameral upper Alliance Senate and lower Parliament.
 
The Senate is made up of 129 Senators, one from each member state, and four from the Sol System. Each member state elects a single senator to serve a 3 year term. Qualifications for senators are up to individual states. They can be the head of state of the planet or system, or be a single representative elected separate of the local government.
 
The lower Parliament is made up of 218 representatives, and represents the dependencies of the Sol Alliance. Each dependency has its own governing parliament, and their Prime Minister becomes a Member of Parliament for the federal Parliament, and serve as long as their term as Prime Minister in their respective system. The Prime Minister of the Sol Alliance is, confusingly, also a member of the lower Parliament, and counts as 6 representatives, one for Earth, Mars, Europa, the Moon, and Unity Station, giving him 6 effective votes in the lower parliament, because each of these locations are individual member states of the Alliance.
 
=== [[Sol Alliance Military]] ===
 
The Military Forces of the Sol Alliance have a history dating back to the second space race, starting as a defensive and peacekeeping force, their role eventually grew into that of a full time military force. The Sol Peacekeeping Corps was originally formed from specially selected units from the military forces of UN member states.

    The Sol Alliance

    The human juggernaut, this federal union is the home of humanity and the largest nation in the Orion Spur. Though often held back by bureaucratic corruption and inefficiency with archaic laws, political infighting, and economic troubles that have led to over a century of decline and waning influence, many now look to reform the Alliance.

    A powerhouse in terms of cultural and political influence, the Alliance of Sovereign Solarian Nations (ASSN), commonly referred to as SolGov, the Sol Alliance, and sometimes the Alliance, is a federal union of 135 member state star systems, and 324 dependencies including the Eridani Federation. Dependencies vary between undeveloped star systems and outposts on asteroids, to sprawling space stations. The capital of the Sol Alliance is the bustling Unity Station in orbit over Earth. The Sol Alliance is divided into three administrative sections, the Inner, Middle, and Outer Colonies.

    Demographics

    The Sol Alliance is either the most populated or second most populated in known space, though due to the lack of accurate census-taking in the Coalition of Colonies it is hard to determine. As of the 2554 census, the Sol Alliance has 112 billion citizens and 11 billion residents. By breadth of controlled territory SolGov is the largest sovereign state with every ethnicity, religion, culture, and language found somewhere in its borders. Governed at Unity Station in orbit of Earth, hundreds of systems and dozens of member states find representation in the Alliance.

    The Colony Rings

    The Alliance is divided into three major administrative rings, based on time of colonization and distance from Sol.

    Inner Colonies

    Also known as the Inner Ring, the inner colonies lie within 100 lightyears of Sol. These planets are the oldest settlements outside of the Solar System, and have the highest quality of life. It is the most populous of the three rings. Solarians from these systems are in favor of SolGov rule, with much of Unity Station’s policies focusing on these areas. Compared to the rest of the Alliance it is more welcoming of other species and belief systems, though this acceptance is still mostly limited to the occasional Skrell or Diona, with the few Tajara begrudgingly accepted. Citizens of these areas push the most for expansion of SolGov authority over human areas outside its control. The separatist Republic of Biesel was considered part of these inner colonies.

    Notable Inner Colonies

    Middle Colonies

    Also known as the Middle Ring. The Middle Colonies lie between 100 and 200 lightyears from Sol, and are the most average areas of the Alliance. Citizens of this ring feel neither the benefits of Alliance rule nor the benefits of distance from Unity Station. Corruption and bureaucracy plague this area in particular, and discontent with the establishment is high, with the Reform Party finding much of its support here. The headquarters of the Reform Party is located here on the planet of Silversun, a prominent fiscal center. Quality of life in this area is almost as high as the inner ring, albeit further out of reach toward the outer area. Some systems find themselves in a battle between SolGov and megacorporation control, with it being unclear where the two begin and end.

    Outer Colonies

    Also known as the Outer Ring. Lying between 200 and 300 lightyears from Sol, the outer ring is the least densely populated of the Alliance. While Unity Station’s civilian rule is felt the lightest here, the military presence is at its heaviest, with the Sol Navy constantly patrolling the borders of the Alliance. Quality of life in the outer ring is the lowest in the Alliance, but still high compared to areas of the frontier.

Due to a history of Unathi piracy and raiding on the fringe of the Alliance, there is a distinct dislike of the species here.

    Notable Outer Colonies

    Economics

    The economy of the Sol Alliance is dominated almost entirely by the four megacorporations: Nanotrasen Corporation Hephaestus Industries, Zeng-Hu Pharmaceuticals and Einstein Engines. Nanotrasen is the largest of these mega-corporations, utilizing its monopoly on phoron to keep the Sol Alliance firmly reliant on them for intergalactic travel.

    The Alliance has not fully recovered from the Second Great Depression of 2260. The economic collapse and the resulting civil war left confidence in the Alliance economy extremely shaky. The Alliance has an extremely condensed cycle of boom and bust, with a brief year of growth followed by two years of recession, on average. This is partially the reason that trans-stellar corporations are so powerful and influential: With Sol Alliance bonds or ventures radically decentralized and untrustworthy, the resilient economic strength of trans-stellar corporations makes them a much more lucrative investment.

    The prosperity of the Alliance is extremely centralized to the inner colonies, most notably the Sol system, which benefit from their proximity to Earth and being the commercial and industrial centers. Farther away from Sol, the average wealth of systems gradually decrease. The frontier of the Sol Alliance territory tend to be far less wealthy than the inner colonies. In some extreme cases, travel to and from these systems can be made difficult as maintenance of bluespace beacons or shuttle services are the responsibility of individual systems. The only assurance in all Alliance systems is the presence of the federally funded Extranet post-service, allowing messages, if not people, to go from one end of the Alliance to the other. And the tax office.

    Politics

    The Alliance of Sovereign Solarian Nations is governed by a hybrid of a Westminster parliamentary system and a federal democracy. Due to the complex negotiations required centuries ago to form the first iteration of the Sol Alliance, SolGov politics are held together by complex traditions and a nearly impenetrable tangle of ancient laws and regulations gripping any attempt to reform the government. Several parties vie for influence in the Alliance, with the two largest parties being the Sol First and Human Unity parties, followed by the System Freedom Party and the Reform Party. The Sol First party is led by Senator Thomas Roon, and the Human Unity party by former admiral Prime Minister Michael Frost.

    Government

    SolGov is made up of three co-equal branches of government consisting of the Executive, which is headed by the Prime Minister, the Legislative, composed of the Parliament and Senate, and the Judiciary, headed by the Alliance Supreme Court. The Solarian Senate is composed of 138 senators, one from each member state and three from Earth. The Parliament is composed of 462 representatives, one from each dependency and member state of the Alliance. The current Prime Minister is Michael Frost of the Human Unity Party, governing in a coalition with the Reform Party.

    Sol Alliance Military

    The armed forces of the Sol Alliance have a long and storied history, with its origins going back to the militaries of 21st century Earth. Originally a peacekeeping force among the human colonies, it has evolved into a military titan, albeit one chained to a rock of massive commitments across Solarian space and encumbered by a tangled bureaucracy. Despite this, it remains on paper the most powerful professional force in inhabited space.

    Sol Alliance History

    The Sol Alliance's relatively long history holds the origins of many of the current nations, megacorporations, and current conflicts within it. For a detailed overview, see the Sol Alliance history page.

    Potential Character Concepts

    Here is an example character from the Sol Alliance:

    • Chen Zhang, 34, is a medical doctor who currently works for Nanotrasen, currently stationed on the NSS Aurora. He is usually calm and collected.
    • Zhang is 5’9” and has a slim build, likely 130 lbs. With excellent posture, Zhang moves quickly and efficiently. He has dark brown eyes and has his black hair neatly buzzcut.
