By 2210 the Earth Alliance was an accepted, if small, member of the interstellar community. Contact with other civilizations continued as embassies from the Narn, Pak Marrah, Vree and other cultures were established on Earth. By 2200 full fledged colonies had been built there as well. By 2175 the Centauri had sold the technology wholesale, setting the stage for the great expansion.Ģ175 saw the opening stages of a massive emmigration from Earth to the Proxima, Alpha Centauri and Orion Systems. Within a month, the Centauri and Earth Alliance had brokered a deal allowing Alliance ships to use Centauri jumpgates, for a price. However, hostilities were quickly averted as the Centauri made contact and offered to open a trade embassy with the Earth Alliance with the intent of fostering better relations. At the same time, a squadron of defense monitors was launched and sent up to make contact with the alien vessel. All space traffic in the area immediately scrambled out of the area, heading down to the surface as quickly as possible. Everything was suddenly changed, however, when a Centauri Cruiser left hyperspace near Mars' orbit. The Earth Alliance remained largely confined to the Sol System until 2155, relying on 'sleeper ships' to carry colonists beyond the system's edge since the Alliance did not possess jump gate technology at that time. By 2113 colonies had been established on Mars, Titan and Ganymede and Earth Force commanded over twenty military vessels. Slowly, Earth Force grew to command all Earth forces across the Sol System. One of the first steps taken was the creation of Earth Force, a combined military command which would oversee both the ground forces on Earth as well as any defenses and vessels in orbit. Spanning six star systems and commanding over one hundred warships of all types and sizes, the Earth Alliance is sworn to defend the interests of humanity and insure the safety of its many worlds.įounded in 2075 to replace the crumbling United Nations, the Earth Alliance was seen as a step forward for bringing the disparate nations of Earth together. The largest of the interstellar human governments, the Earth Alliance represents the powerful interests of Earth and its colonies in the galaxy.
