Royal Sol Alliance

The Royal Sol Alliance was a government body that rose to prominence within Earth and its nearest colonies shortly before the Unification War. Known primarily for being the foundation of a resurgence in Earth's ancient nobility system, it was headed by a royal family that both directed and answered to a democratically elected senate. It slowly unified Earth's competing governments until it was in complete control of humanity's homeworld and the "inner" colonies. Victory in the long and bloody Unification War against the Confederacy of Free Colonies placed the entire solar system under its control, though a few vestiges of the Confederacy and a rising number of pirate and mercenary groups continue to cause its powerful military trouble.
