==Overview==
The Democratic-Nationalist Alliance, occasionally called the DNA in media, was a secessionist human political entity that existed from roughly June 26, 2436 C.E. to October 5, 2447 C.E. The Alliance consisted of the system governments of the Inner Colonies of Nova, Brink, New Brittany, Weyler Prime, and Weyler Minor systems. The Alliance itself had its origins in the "March '26 Forum," a student organization active in Colonial Sector Four, where all the systems were located. At the 2430 Student Political Advocacy Summit, the "March '26 Forum" now calling itself "Forum '26," first began to advocate for a non-"Earth -centric" political approach, arguing that with the myriad issues facing the New York government, it was not paying attention to the needs of the colonies. With direct federal representatives in many of these colonies seen as obstructionist and ignorant, support for local autonomy steadily grew. By 2434, emotions had reached their boiling point, though Forum '26 members felt that they had no visible face to spearhead any major action.
==The Takeover==
This situation changed with the rise of Calder Greenway, a recently graduated university student from Nova whose humble appearance and brilliant oratory skills helped him rapidly climb through the ranks of his local campus branch of Forum '26. After obtaining an organization-wide position as a Vice-President of Outreach, Greenway supplanted previous Forum '26 President Sandra Chantilly, who was not nearly as charasmatic as Greenway nor as well-connected. After becoming president of the party, Greenway spearheaded the momentum that the Forum had been looking for. With the ability to reach across social and economic gaps, Greenway gave Forum '26 the legitimacy they desired and helped them begin to slowly gather support, as well as form a hidden plan to topple the local federal bureaucracies.
The planning finally reached fruition on June 26, 2436, when Forum '26 student activists, supported by the colonial militaries and colonial governments of the participating colonies as well as a majority of the local population, overthrew the local federal institutions. Working with quick efficiency, participating members seized communications assets, federal buildings, and even Naval and Marine Corps installations, arresting those who resisted and welcoming those who defected. At the same time, Novan Planetary Naval Guardsmen working aboard six naval vessels stationed in the Nova system managed to take control of the vessels, declaring them the "New Novan Republic Navy." By the evening of June 29, there was little to no resistance left on the participating colonial worlds, as even those who opposed the secession believed a military reconquest by the NEFSDF was imminent and were content to wait.
