Interstellar Alliance

## General Overview

Based on the planet of *Curnaris* in the unexplored regions of the Omega Quadrant, the *Interstellar Alliance* is a powerful alliance of multiple planets spreading across 2,000 Light Years.

Led by the Curanite's, the Interstellar Alliance consisted of four different member species which operated on the basis of open and *"complete clarity"* which earned them the title of a trustworthy ally, committed to preserving the peaceful operations of scientific and cultural explorations of the Black Eye Galaxy.

The four member worlds of the Alliance consisted of;

* Curanite High Territories
* Bal't Holy Order
* Re'naal Sovereignty
* Karuun Doctorate

Curanite's themselves were stout, small creatures averaging about four feet in length, known for their boisterous but ultimately warm personalities as well as their skill in building, constructing most of the Alliance's technology which appeared to be on par with 24th Century Starfleet technology and warp powered starships.

Curanites operated on basis of complete openeness and transparency, something that had earned them the displeasure of the Aventis Empire, an early trade partner that had broken down when the Interstellar Alliance discovered that the Aventis were planning a war with the Roth over the planet of Palas (Zeta Berenices I) in the 2230's.

## History

The history of the Interstellar Alliance dates back to 1312, during which time, the peaceful Curanite people were enslaved by the Xen'Trist Prime, with some used as *"incubators"* for the Xen'trist brood while others were shipped off world to speed up construction of the Xen'Trist artificial star at the centre of the Xen'Trist home system.

Sometime during the early *Terran 15th Century*, the Curanites were able to stage a revolution, using much of the technology which the Xen'Trist had taught them to use during their enslavement, successfully pushing back the Xen'Trist to their current borders today. The Curanites also successfully managed to liberate several planets that were once part of the expansive *Xen'Trist Order* and created lasting friendships with these species, resulting in the formation of the *Interstellar Alliance*.

## Philosophy

The *Interstellar Alliance* is a peaceful, *paramilitary* organization devoted to the protection of their member worlds. Alliance principles are known for their practicality, allowing them to be molded to fit a situation and be highly adaptable while still striving towards their end goal of peaceful cooperation for all within their alliance.

To this end, Alliance vessels bear a striking resemblance to *Starfleet* vessels of the 2360's, designed with both military and civilian occupations in mind and creating a comfortable living space for families while being well armed to deal with any threats that may seek to oppress the Alliance again.

The Alliance extremely receptive to open diplomacy, considering compromise and adaptation of their principles to be part of their *"way of life"*, preferring open discourse and unclouded intentions with other species almost to the point of brutal honesty.
