Alliance of Free Planets

Complete and comprehensive documentation on the Alliance of Free Planets can be found here

The Alliance of Free Planets, more commonly referred to as the Alliance, is a group of planets that have more or less refused the rule of the Confederation, however secretly that refusal may be. Some planets have chosen to openly defy the Confederation, whilst some remain defiant in a secretive manner. The latter worlds often create hidden or underground bases on numerous planets in order to rebel when the time comes, or when it is necessary.

Though it seems quite unorganized and unruly, the Alliance is actually more organised than it appears, simply because they have to be. Whilst the Confederation is extremely large and greatly in control of galactic events, the Alliance, forced to fight for survival on a daily basis, must be organized in order to survive. It is because of this that communication is a constant between Alliance-held or Alliance-based planets and their chain of command is quite unique.

Currently fighting to survive in the galaxy, the Alliance nevertheless presents a force to be reckoned with. Their army has become an elite one, made of veterans from years of conflicts. The navy, though split into battle groups and not having huge numbers, has powerful ships and skilled commanders. The Alliance is determined not to perish this day, or any other, and continues its fight with a determination rarely seen.

Within the Alliance
The majority of the Alliance consists of Corellians, as the Alliance was, in most respects, a Corellian rebellion at the beginning, formed by Corellians, for the rebuilding of the Republic. Over time others have joined them, giving more diversity into the ranks as the Alliance spread to other planets wishing to free themselves from the scourge that was the Confederation. Confederation deserters are a common sight in the Alliance, and most ex-Feds are welcomed easily. While individuals of any age are accepted, only those above 18 are able to involve themselves in the actual fighting, while those underneath that age act as support in the various bases.

Joining the Alliance is not a simple task. Their bases are hidden in secret locations and the security is tight and unwilling to compromise the cause. Anyone who shows interest in the Alliance is thoroughly checked by Alliance operatives before they are even contacted, deserters from the Confederation are even more thoroughly screened than anyone else.

Cell Command Structure
For every planet with Alliance presence, secretive or not, there is a leader of that particular group. Usually the leader is someone of a moderate rank, for they must be trusted and able to lead in order to keep the Alliance presence alive and kicking.

High Command
The Alliance is led by a group of its greatest leaders, some of whom have been remarked as some of the best in the galaxy in their chosen fields. This group is known as High Command, which consists of four individuals, each in charge of a particular sector and field. These are the top commanders of the Alliance. The fields taken by the High Command members are; Grand Admiral of the Alliance Navy, Grand Marshal of the Alliance Army, Director of Intelligence and Director of Communications.
