The Alliance of Free Stars was a cooperative coalition of seven starfaring races that was created during the Ur-Quan Slave War to oppose the Ur-Quan and their Hierarchy of Battle Thralls. It was ultimately unsuccessful in preventing the Ur-Quan from subjugating the member races, but was very successful in interstellar diplomacy. Indeed, after a 20-year subjugation, the New Alliance of Free Stars rose as a continuation of the original alliance and incorporated new members into the old guard.
Star Control I/Ur-Quan Slave War Era
The Alliance began circa 2110 as a mutual defense agreement between the Chenjesu and the Mmrnmhrm, and was successful in turning away an initial incursion of Hierarchy forces. The Yehat and their foster species, the Shofixti, joined the Alliance shortly thereafter. The Humans joined the Alliance in 2116, four years after first contact with the Chenjesu. A day after Earth joined, the Arilou appeared and requested entrance into the Alliance. The Syreen were the last to become a member, joining somewhat loosely in 2120.
Though the Alliance fought valiantly, eventually they were defeated by the Hierarchy in 2134. Four of these races were slave-shielded, one joined as a Battle Thrall, one disappeared, and the last sacrificed itself in a blaze of glory rather than being enslaved.
Star Control II/The Ur-Quan Masters Era
The New Alliance of Free Stars is constructed when The Captain arrives at the Earth starbase in 2155. Though the new alliance only starts with about 2000 humans as their force, over the next few years, The Captain quickly gathers most of the old allies back and even some new and powerful ones.
The new Alliance proves its strength after The Captain cleverly tricks the Ur-Quan and their counterparts, the Kohr-Ah, and attacks and destroys Sa-Matra, a formidable Precursor battleship. Chaos immediately follows in the Hierarchy and the combined power of Allied starships and Chmmr forces swiftly defeats both Ur-Quan races and brings freedom back to our region of space.
