A Summit for the Alliance of Independent Systems was hosted at Alioth's Irkutsk Station over the past week, attended by ambassadors and diplomatic envoys from a varied array of political backgrounds. Eleven fleets were represented, from both Alliance and independent governments.
In the words of one attache, "I've never seen much need for Feds, Imperial, or Alliance. But they’re looking helpful to the Indies, so I’m glad I made the trek."
It was a momentous occasion, where contrasting politics found common ground to discuss a framework for a quick response force, deemed necessary to protect all parties from the growing threat of Imperial and Federal expansion. The historic accord was host to a number of different treaties. Noted topics at the summit were faction sovereignty, mutual assurance of self-governance, benefits of increased free-trade, and the importance of communication as a means to maintain civility across a landscape of diverse cultures.
