You must be in an active alliance to participate.		'''Territorial control''' is the long game of alliance play: the more star systems your alliance holds — and the longer it holds them — the bigger your shared advantage. A single system is useful, but a '''territory''' of many systems compounds into a serious economic and military edge: more harvest and survey deposits, a larger daily resource pool for every member, more building capacity across your HQ and Divisions, and more ground a rival must fight through before they can hurt you.

			The winning strategy is to '''conquer aggressively, defend relentlessly, and keep expanding''':

			* '''Conquer.''' Alliances capture star systems through '''coordinated (FCS)''' assaults on the system center. With '''Territory Siege''' enabled, that is a two-phase Campaign (Contest, then Takeover) — see Territory Siege. You must be in an active alliance to participate.
			* '''Hold.''' Control fades if a system is left undefended, so treat every capture as territory you must keep — station Guardian fleets and build alliance defenses to secure it for the long haul.
			* '''Expand.''' Keep pushing into neutral and rival systems; the alliances that hold the widest territory the longest dominate the galaxy.

			== Territory Siege ==
			When the Territory Siege feature is enabled, taking a neutral system or a rival '''Division''' is no longer a single fight.

			# '''Contest''' — Win an FCS assault → the system is Contested for a '''random 20–28 hours'''. Ownership does '''not''' change yet; income from that system is reduced.
			# '''Takeover''' — A '''2-hour Vulnerable''' window opens. Only the Contester can win a second FCS fight in that window to claim the system.
			# Fail, lose, or miss the window → the holder keeps it, and a '''24-hour''' re-contest cooldown applies.

			Headquarters cannot be sieged. An alliance may have at most '''5''' systems Contested or Vulnerable at once. Station Guardians before the window; amber/red borders on the galaxy map and live countdowns in Alliance Systems / Division Center mark the siege.

			Full rules — Graveyard debris rates, building −3 penalty, diplomacy cancels — are on the dedicated Territory Siege page. In-game: '''Settings → Quick Guides → Alliance Territorial Control'''.

New page

An '''Alliance''' is a group of commanders who band together for mutual benefit. Alliances share a treasury, research powerful upgrades together, build and defend conquered star systems, fly shared colors across the galaxy, and coordinate through chat and diplomacy.

Every commander can belong to '''one alliance''' at a time. You can join or create your alliance starting at '''Realm 1'''.

== Contents ==

* Creating an alliance
* Joining & leaving
* Roles & permissions
* Communication
* The Alliance Vault
* Alliance Research
* Alliance Buildings
* System conquest & control
* Diplomacy & war
* Alliance relics & branding
* Leaderboards & events
* Quick reference

== Creating an alliance ==
Creating an alliance is '''free'''. You'll choose:

* A '''tag''' (3–10 characters, unique across the galaxy).
* A '''name''' (up to 100 characters, unique).
* An optional description.

As the founder you become the '''Leader'''. New alliances start with room for '''15 members''' and '''open''' recruitment.

== Joining & leaving ==
How you join depends on the alliance's recruitment setting:
{| class="wikitable"
!Recruitment
!What happens
|-
|'''Open'''
|You join instantly as a Member.
|-
|'''Invite Only'''
|You submit an application; an officer approves or rejects it.
|-
|'''Closed'''
|Not accepting new members.
|}
A few rules:

* You can't join if you're already in an alliance.
* You can have only '''one''' pending application at a time.
* An alliance can't exceed its member limit (raised by the ''Recruitment Doctrine'' research — see below).

'''Leaving:''' any member can leave at any time. The '''Leader cannot simply leave''' — they must first transfer leadership to another member or disband the alliance.

== Roles & permissions ==
Alliances have four roles, from lowest to highest authority:
{| class="wikitable"
!Role
!What they can do
|-
|'''Member'''
|Donate to the vault, donate relics, buy items for the alliance archive.
|-
|'''Officer'''
|Everything a member can, plus: approve/reject applications, promote/demote members, remove members, edit alliance settings, send broadcasts, manage branding and diplomacy, and upgrade alliance buildings.
|-
|'''Deputy'''
|Everything an officer can, plus start and cancel '''alliance research'''.
|-
|'''Leader'''
|Full control: transfer leadership and disband the alliance.
|}
When a Leader transfers leadership, they step down to '''Deputy''' and the chosen member becomes the new Leader.

== Communication ==

* '''Alliance Chat''' — a real-time, members-only channel for coordination.
* '''Broadcasts''' — officers can send one-way mail to the whole alliance, optionally filtered by role.

== The Alliance Vault ==
The '''Vault''' is your alliance's shared treasury, holding all six resources (steel, quartz, gas, iridium, silicium, elerium).

'''Ways to fill the vault:'''

# '''Direct donations''' — any member can donate resources from a colony.
# '''Alliance tax''' — officers can set a tax of '''0–5%''' on the cargo members bring back from attacks, debris collection, exploration, and harvesting.
# '''Donation missions''' — send a fleet to deliver cargo to an alliance-controlled system.
# '''Research refunds''' — cancelling a research returns its cost to the vault.

'''Capacity:''' each resource starts with a vault capacity of '''2 billion''', and the '''Alliance Vault''' building adds '''+10 billion''' per level. If the vault is full, taxed resources stay with the member instead.

Donations also count toward your personal '''alliance donation score'''.

== Alliance Research ==
Alliances can research upgrades that benefit every member.

'''To research, your alliance needs:'''

* An '''Alliance Research Lab''' built on an alliance colony.
* A '''Leader or Deputy''' to start it (only one research at a time).
* Enough resources in the '''vault''' to pay the cost.

Costs and times scale with each level, and a higher-level Research Lab speeds research up.

'''Highlights of the research tree:'''
{| class="wikitable"
!Research
!Benefit
|-
|'''Alliance Infrastructure'''
|Lower system upkeep; higher harvest unit caps.
|-
|'''Supply Logistics'''
|Lower upkeep and faster convoys.
|-
|'''Resource Refinements''' (Steel, Quartz, Gas, …)
|Reduced upkeep and higher production for that resource.
|-
|'''Recruitment Doctrine'''
|'''+1 member''' capacity per level.
|-
|'''Defense Protocols'''
|Stronger alliance defense HP; unlocks alliance defenses.
|-
|'''Reinforced Armor / Deflector Shields / Weapons Calibration'''
|Boost defense HP, shields, and weapon power.
|-
|'''Garrison Capacity'''
| +1 defense build slot.
|}

== Alliance Buildings ==
Conquered systems host '''alliance buildings''', paid for from the vault and upgraded by officers. Your first conquered system becomes your '''Headquarters (HQ)''' with up to '''100 building slots'''; later systems become '''Divisions''' with '''40 slots''' each.
{| class="wikitable"

<blockquote>Most advanced alliance systems — buildings, conquest, and shared harvest — open up around '''Realm 4'''.</blockquote>

== System conquest & control ==
Alliances can capture star systems by winning a '''coordinated attack''' (Fleet Coordination System) against a system's protector. You must be in an active alliance to participate.

Once captured:

* Your first system becomes the '''HQ'''; the rest are '''Divisions'''.
* Controlled systems support a shared '''harvest & survey pool''': production each cycle is split between the runner, guardians, and an alliance daily pool that members collect their share from.
* Controlled systems can be dressed up with '''system themes''' and '''monuments''' (see below).

== Diplomacy & war ==
With a '''Diplomacy Office''', officers can manage relations with other alliances.

'''Relations:'''

* '''Non-Aggression Pact (NAP)''' — neither side can attack the other.
* '''Ally''' — a closer protective relationship.
* '''War''' — declared immediately and unilaterally; it ends any existing treaties.

'''Combat protection:'''

* You can never attack members of '''your own''' alliance.
* You can't attack alliances you're '''allied with''' or have a '''NAP''' with (though you can still scout them).

NAPs and alliances consume '''treaty slots''' (one per Diplomacy Office level); war does not. Ending a war requires a peace proposal.

== Alliance relics & branding ==
Alliances fly their own colors using '''relics''' donated by members. (For how relics are collected and forged, see the Relics page.)

Four relic types are used by alliances:
{| class="wikitable"
!Relic type
!How it's used
|-
|'''Alliance Badge'''
|One active badge represents the alliance on leaderboards and alliance lists.
|-
|'''Alliance Flag'''
|One active flag flies on members' planets.
|-
|'''System Theme'''
|Attached to a controlled system to tint its appearance (one per system).
|-
|'''System Monument'''
|Attached to a controlled system as a standing monument (one per system).
|}
'''How it flows:'''

# A member forges an alliance-type relic and '''donates''' its base cosmetic to the alliance (free, and they keep the relic).
# Donating unlocks the alliance '''Archive''', where members can buy alternate '''variants''' for the alliance with '''Quantum Shards'''.
# '''Officers''' then activate the active badge/flag, or attach themes and monuments to controlled systems.
# Officers can keep a '''wishlist''' of cosmetics the alliance wants next.

See Relics → Alliance Relics for the donating commander's perspective.

== Leaderboards & events ==

* '''Alliance leaderboards''' rank alliances against one another.
* '''Weekly alliance events''' offer alliance-tier rewards for collective effort.
* Your active alliance '''badge''' appears beside your alliance name across these screens.
