The Atlas Alliance

The Atlas Alliance is an inter-species alliance between a multitude of races that hubs on the Atlas space station, in orbit of Orii.

## Senate Members

The founders of the Alliance themselves, The Neraavians have arguably the most power in the Alliance, through Matriarch Viddimi. The Neraavians represent diplomacy and innovation.

The co-founder of the Alliance, The Garze possess a seat on the Senate as well. They represent commerce and exploration.

The Krux'Han, the last to possess a seat on the council. They, are the only synthetic race in the Alliance. They represent military and patrol.

## Non-Senator Members

The Elorden have joined in the Alliance, yet they have not been recognized a seat on the council. One of the qualifications is to be capable of sending supply aid, something the Elorden have openly dismissed due to their rapid colonization rates requiring an immense amount of resources.

The Kadravi are a client, and partner race of the Krux'Han. They also seem rather un-interested in having a seat, and have not even bothered to send a new ambassador after the death of the former one, so only a few old diplomats reside in their embassy.

The Harivi still remain within the Alliance, but lack the requirements to be considered an active member due to their pulling of all potential reinforcements for other races back to their homeworld to defend from the invading Orien.

## Requirements

If you want to be a member of the Alliance, you have to have the majority if not all of the following to be accepted;

01. Provide aid to other races, whether it be economically, militaristically or supplying them with goods. In the event of a war, you are required to help if assistance is needed. ( Unfortunately this has been ignored in the case of the Harivi due to them being unwilling to spark a war with the Orien )

02. Possess a space-fleet; The reasoning behind this goes along with the first, you need to have enough military might to defend yourself and others if or when the time arises. Some, such as the Krux'Han or Neraavians possess multiple fleets.

03.Possess at least 1 dreadnought; Goes along with reasons 1 and 2, for the same reasoning.

04. Possess at least 15 systems worth of influential space.

05. Possess proper civil rights for the populous. ( Which has been rather ignored in the case of the Garze )

06. Benevolence; If you wish to join the Alliance, you must abide by the strict 'No attacking first' policy they install.

07. Freedoms; If you wish to join in the Alliance, you must allow your civilians to enter into Atlas territories with the permissions of their respective governments, you cannot hold your citizens captive. This was made for a similar reason to civil rights, in case of any crumbling societies. ( You can still enforce your border policies. )

08. Possess 2 or more interstellar colonies; This shows your drive for exploration, and expanse. This proves your value to the Alliance in your drive to see more of this vast universe.

## Restrictions

01. Under no circumstances are you permitted to provoke, attack or in any way set off the Bonarsi, or the Orien in any way. If you are attacked first, you have the right to defend yourself and if your request is approved, may receive assistance.

02. Under no circumstances is slavery, or forced labor permitted regardless if it is synthetic or organic labor, it is still morally and ethically wrong.

03. You may not possess more than 3 dreadnoughts, unless directly approved by the Senators themselves. ( This law is ignored in the case of the Senator races. )

04. Your fleet passing through another member's space is permitted ( assuming they are aware of it and approve of such ) , but if you begin to take resources or items from their space without permission or payment, you will be fined and all vessels responsible for doing so will be impounded.

05. It is illegal to send any fleets within the Orien Occupation Zone, Interior Outer Belt, or the Outer Territories under any circumstances, this applies to every race in the alliance.

06. Any and all artificial intelligence research has to be approved directly by the Senate and Ambassadors of Atlas' majority vote, if declined and you proceed you will be imprisoned, your research seized by officials, your representatives will also be held partially responsible for your actions.

## Non-Members

The Sixamians have shown no interest at all to join the Atlas Alliance, and are rarely spotted.

The Orien have shown no interest, in fact quite the opposite during their occupation of several small Neraavian colonies in the Orien Occupation Zone.

The Norvaz are in the same boat as the Orien.

The Bonarsi seem to view the other races as science experiments to be exploited, used and discarded as if they were nothing.

The Wensmenbron have no interest other than to expand their already quite vast empire.

The Graadese have shown minor interest, though it was quickly suppressed by the Orien occupiers.

The Uddonahni have shown interest, but are yet to come to a conclusive decision.

## Official Neraavian Statement on the Founding of the Alliance

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After contact with the race dubbed the Sixamians, it was confirmed that the Neraavian people were not alone among the stars. During our construction of the station known as Atlas, we made contact with a race of peoples known as the Garze, they are peculiar biologically though possess the resemblance we and the Sixamians share as well, it appears that is the standard bodily shape for most intelligent lifeforms. However, it appears numbers of fingers and limbs varying are a possibility, though the lowest number it appears a species can have in terms digits on their hand is three, the minimum needed for basic intelligent mobility. More research data can be found in Matriarch Viona's report on the matter, that isn't the purpose of this publish. The Garze shortly after establishing diplomatic contact agreed to founding a cooperative alliance with us, and have already sent engineers, as well as fleets of people to assist with the construction of Atlas and defend it. It appears there is good in the cluster after all. Please, be safe among the faces of the stars. Goddess lend you her grace.
