About the Earth AllianceThe Earth Alliance was a major galactic superpower in the Babylon 5 universe. It was founded at the end of the twenty-first century, after the Third World War: first as a loose coalition of nations, then as a tight alliance of nearly every nation on [u]Earth[/u] as well as Alliance-controlled colonies throughout the Galaxy, though colonial populations have had a history of independence driven rebellion, especially Mars. The Alliance is a unicameral representative democracy under the leadership of an elected President with a strong [u]military[/u]. In one second-season episode ("[u]And Now For a Word[/u]"), the Alliance is said to consist of 24 outposts and colonies in over a dozen solar systems.
Earth-Alliance had gained more technology than any other race in the known Babylon 5 universe: Dilgar, Narn, Centauri, Shadow, Minbari, and Vorlon tech all at one point in time.
Since the end of the [u]Earth-Minbari War[/u], the Alliance had prospered in [u]interstellar trade[/u], though some influential factions had become increasingly xenophobic and isolationist. Following the assassination of [u]President Luis Santiago[/u], the new President, [u]Morgan Clark[/u], formed [u]Nightwatch[/u] (a pervasive [u]secret police[/u]) and dissolved the Senate, turning Earth and her colonies into a totalitarian fascist state. Adding to the milieu is the [u]Psi Corps[/u], an increasingly powerful quasi-military organization which regulates and controls [u]human[/u] [u]telepaths[/u]. These actions led to the [u]Earth Civil War[/u], itself an offshoot of the final [u]Shadow War[/u], with the forces originating from Babylon 5 seeking to free Earth and liberate the colonies.
About Babylon 5
In the year 2258, it is ten years after the Earth-Minbari War. Commander Sinclair takes command of a giant five-mile-long cylindrical space station, orbiting a planet in neutral space. At a crossroads of interstellar commerce and diplomacy, Cmdr Sinclair (2d season Captain Sheridan) must try to establish peace and prosperity between various interstellar empires, all the while fighting forces from within the Earth Alliance. It is a precarious command, particularly given that sabotage led to the destruction of Babylon stations 1, 2, and 3 and 4 vanished without trace
