The fleet acts like a peacekeeper, ensuring the safety of travel and adherence to the Alliance space laws and stepping up whenever a star system or a planet begins to radicalize against peaceful coexistence. This unavoidable disunity, coupled with the inevitable social drift, is the reason for the need for a military fleet despite the absence of historical global interstellar wars. Ktak were more fortunate, as their dogmatic religion allows communities to maintain integrity over larger distances and their colonies retain a strong sense of connection and unity with their metropolises.

The Alliance is the dominant global governmental organization de jure, but all the member planets that are separated by more than a couple of weeks of FTL flight are, in fact, almost independent states (having at least one independent state on the surface) that solve problems on their own as much as possible. Nevertheless, in this relatively small volume, there are billions of stars, of which only a small percentage has been studied in detail and even fewer have any settlements or bases in their systems.ĭue to the lack of superluminal communication, there is no unification in the galaxy. Most of the galaxy has not been explored, and the Alliance occupies a relatively small volume. Interstellar communication is developed to the level of regular commercial flights.

The setting is stationed in the MilkyWay galaxy, with most of the species achieving relatively mundane interstellar flight capabilities.
