Alliance of Independent Systems

The Alliance of Independent Systems, also called Alliance of Separatist Systems, is a political organization with members mainly located along the core regions of the galaxy. Its government is a confederary, with systems being able to join and leave freely, and although some restrictions have been imposed to leaving members, currently in war against the Empire.
The AIS was created by a series of worlds (both planets and moons, as well as a few exceptional cases) who all seeked to leave the sphere of influence the Empire had engulfed them into, by force or other methods of integration, as well as all the political, ideological, cultural, and economical influences they had been imposed by the Empire and its related organziations.
The AIS was quick to form the Grand Independentist Navy, composed by many vessels and numerous small craft of innumerous origins, and were initially manned by voluntary forces. After the very initial stages of the war had made it clear those wouldn't be enough, broader conscription was slowly started into the involved worlds, most of which had garrisons of Empire troops which had defected after the Great Schism started.
The AIS operated through a large diplomatic network and although many of the members have large buildings for ceremonies and diplomatic gatherings to happen, no single location has been named to be the capital city or principal place of gathering.
From the many policies the AIS has stated, the most prominents one include a complete abolition of slavery in any kind; the illegalization of selective breeding, clonation technologies, and genetic manipulation practices for goals not in the agricultural field; the impulse of better transportation infrastructure that combats the reliance on cycloning vehicles in most of the galaxy; and the development of newer technology capable of standardising Cartes across the involved systems, eliminating the reliance on Bahns to traffic with them.
