Alliance of Planets and Moons

In 2123, the Somakians discovered Earth. They decided to invade and annex Earth into their huge interstellar empire. The so-called Survival War began when the Somakians made First Contact with humans when they attacked Luna. The humans went on the offensive and fought hard, but it was clear the Somakians were too powerful for the Earth Army and the Somakians would eventually win. Then, in 2125, two other alien species, the Gylarians and the Tarvarkians discovered Earth as well and learned of the ongoing war between Somakians and humans. The two species decided to help Earth and with their help, the humans repelled the Somakians, so ending the Survival War in late 2125. After sharing with humans how to travel to different star systems via SL drives to add to their small fleet of spaceships, humanity, the Gylarians and the Tarvarkians agreed to form an alliance of mutual security purposes. Less than a decade later this Alliance was a star-spanning government with dozens of member species already, and so the Alliance of Planets and Moons became the biggest nation in galactic history. The Senate and the office of President was created to properly govern the people of the Alliance. As per the Alliance Constitution, drafted by the Senate in 2126, any planet in the Alliance is allowed to keep their own respective style of government in accordance with their traditions and beliefs, however ultimately they answer to the Alliance. The Constitution also states that for a planet to become a member of the Alliance, they have to have the capability to build starships, the style of government cannot be

authoritarian, a dictatorhsip, or anything else that harms the rights of that planets citizens. A planet may submit a plea to join the

Alliance, and the Senate will vote for whether that planet will be accepted or declined. If the planet is accepted into the Alliance, the citizens of that world will vote into office a representative for the Senate. Styles of government in the Alliance range from monarchies to democratic republics, but

overall the Alliance is a federal republic, giving it's member planets independence in their own affairs but with the Alliance as a central

government. London is the Alliance's capital. London also houses Alliance Military Headquarters. As of 2441, the Alliance encompasses about 500,000 star systems and 350 alien species. The official language of

the Alliance is English, though Universal Translators renders language barriers almost non-existent. The President of the Alliance during the beginning of the Civil War was Damien Kameron, the 75th President who was voted into office first in 2437, and again in 2441 for a second term. In 2445, during the Civil War, James Townsend was voted into office as the 76th President of the Alliance, and he continued the war against the Federacy and Kurtis Jackson. The official currency of the Alliance is the Alliance dollar, which is the strongest currency in the Known Galaxy. Alliance Day is a public holiday celebrated on the 12th of March every year, to commemmorate the founding of the Alliance in 2126.
