Overview

The Coalition of Colonies was on the decline well before it truly fell in 2452. This gave a stark rise to piracy and general lawlessness in the Frontier. However, some planets still remained connected in an effort to protect their borders. For six long years they worked tirelessly to keep each other safe, pooling vast amounts of manpower and resources together. Finally in 2458 the Alliance saw its borders safe. These planets saw the need for continued cooperation to keep themselves protected.

Population

Due to the ever changing nature of the Frontier Alliance, an exact population is hard to pin down. However, estimates put the number currently somewhere around 2,500,000,000 people currently protected by the Frontier Alliance Defense Pact.

Government

Type:

Overall: Defense and Trade Alliance

System by System: Varries dramatically. From Republics to Monarchies to Communist Parties. However the systems agree to have Representatives meet on the unofficial Capital, Xanu Prime. Some systems have representatives for both military and civilian sectors, others have joint reps. Some systems elect these representatives, others have competitions, while some yet give the job to the person who can speak the clearest.

The Frontier Alliance does not care how each system governs themselves. They only ask that each system respect one another and honor the pacts during the time of a crisis.

Xanu Prime

Effectively the 'hub' of the Frontier Alliance. Xanu Prime is one of the most populated and wealthiest planets in the Frontier. The many representives and officers of the Alliance meet on Xanu Prime to discuss new treaties and strategies to protect their section of the galaxy. It is the homeworld of Chief Representative, Carter Han, and the site of a major victory against piracy.

Relationship with Freedom

The Frontier Alliance has strong ties with the Free Frontier Association group of the Freedom party. However, the Frontier Alliance itself does not condone any radical actions against other governmental bodies, even the Sol Alliance. Freedom party members found committing violent acts in the name of the Frontier Alliance are labelled traitors to the Alliance.

Frontier Alliance Military

The Frontier Alliance Military is unlike most militaries in the galaxy. For the most part it resembles a backwoods militia of people without uniform using outdated weaponry to defend their homes. However, in an attempt to have the galaxy take the Frontier Alliance more seriously, the Chief Representative has pushed forward the notion of a uniformed military. This idea has taken off and those serving long term in a Frontier Planet's armed forces has agreed to take olive green colored uniforms as their standard.

The Frontier Alliance's military fights a defensive game for the most part and only engage offensively if they know they have overwhelming numbers. They are not equipped with the most advanced ships or the best weaponry. However, they are able to mass produce weapons, armor, and starships in staggering quantities. They have access to combat RIGs and combat Exosuits but in small quantities. It is not uncommon for Frontier Alliance soldiers to retrofit Industrial Rigs and Ripley APLUs for combat.

If a force were to attack a single Alliance planet, it is deemed as a threat to the entire Alliance as a whole. This is the current nature of the defense pacts.

Economics

Official Currency: Colonial Dollar

Accepts Union of Sol Credit: Yes

Standard of Living: Varied, mostly low. Some worlds enjoy rather high qualities of living, while others are quite poor and have little access to modern tech or resources.

Societal

Ethnic Groups:Due to the nature of the Frontier, it is impossible to really divide ethnic groups properly. The Frontier holds a variety of humans from all groups. It comes down to individual systems or planets for which groups would be more prevalent.

Religion: Secular; Religious Freedom; Variety of Religions

TBD

History

The Coalition of Systems was founded to resist against perceived Sol Alliance oppression in the Frontier. They truly won their independence from Sol after the First Interstellar War. They suffered highs and lows until eventually collapsing in the year 2452, only two years after enacting the “Anti-Dominia Piracy Pact” was put into effect. With the Coalition pirates wen nearly uncontested and gain much ground in the Frontier.

With the Coalition gone and pirates gaining more ground than ever, the Frontier became a rough place to live. Many systems once belonging to the Coalition fell. However, some resisted the pirates. Setting up blockades and working together to form safe trade routes. For six years these systems fought a defensive campaign against the pirates threatening their boarders. In 2458, these Allied Systems made a trade agreement with the Techno-Conglomerate, a trader and transhumanist organization, to get much necessary supplies as well as access to shipyards and weapon factories far more advanced than anything currently in the Allied System's space.

With this more advanced technology the Allied Systems drove the pirates back from their corner of space. These systems then came together forming the Frontier Alliance with the primary goal to rid the Frontier of Piracy.

Current Times

The Frontier Alliance is a budding group. Truly an alliance of systems working together to defend one another from outside threats. They do not have a true form of centralized government or a standard form of government. Still Representatives from each system work together to keep their people safe. Toward the beginning of 2460 the Frontier Alliance struck a series of victories against the Pirate force, the Wrecked Kings, and liberated several key Telecommunication Hubs throughout the Frontier. This gave the Frontier Alliance ways to better communicate with its systems and at last a way to communicate with the galaxy at large.

Currently the Frontier Alliance is acting on a "Live and Let Live" policy with most other galactic powers. They are still rebuilding from the collapse of the Coalition and understand causing issues with any of the existing powers, could prove fatal. Still that does not mean they are not willing to criticize the other powers.

War on Piracy

Despite the Frontier Alliance being held together by defense and trade pacts, they are engaged in an active "War Against Piracy in the Frontier". They view piracy as an immediate threat to their continued existence. The Alliance has deemed this threat extreme enough to actively engage it wherever it is found throughout the Frontier. This is both to keep their borders safe and allow them to show their strength to other systems in the hopes of bringing more worlds into the Alliance.

Despite the "Live and Let Live" policy, Dominia has been deemed a Pirate Nation by the Alliance.
