Welcome to the HQ of the Border Coalition
The Border Coalition is a union of player minor factions on the edge of civilized space joined by necessity to protect each other from encroachment of aggressive major powers and factions. Originally founded by an odd alliance between the Mercs of Mikunn and Communism Interstellar, recent events have caused the rapid growth of the alliance. In its current form, the Coalition is simply a defensive pact, and aggressive measures will only be taken in the event of an attack or territorial loss. Our factions are not interested in powerplay, but rather seek to enhance the minor faction experience provided by elite. Frontier has since announced the Rise to Power Competition and the Border Coalition has qualified, attempting to create a power for the outer colonies. In the event of a loss, the Coalition will resume normal activities taking care of the outer colonies while it waits for the freedom fighters update.
We seek to be peaceful with all the current powers. If a power is grabbing independent territory of the Border Coalition they will be informed at the latest by the expansion phase as it is sometimes hard to determine beforehand. We are willing to provide help to the powers, against fifth column activity and unwanted expansions for example, for those powers that are willing to respect our area and avoid exploiting our systems. We will also be developing a 3D map of the protected area (which is actually very small compared to power areas).
If you want to help the cause of the outer colonies, please contact Walt Kerman or stay in touch with news bulletins on this thread. The ultimate purpose of the Coalition is to provide emergent content. Any altercations in game will be in the spirit of the game and we expect all fellow outer colonists to hold themselves to that standard.
If you belong an existing Power or to an independent minor faction especially on the core side of colonized space, please contact us on our forums and we will establish a private area of communication for you.
Current Members:
- The Mercs of Mikunn
- Communism Interstellar
- Kuun-Lan

Long time belligerent to the Border Coalition's surrounding region, the Dark Armada has resurfaced. Marking the first time the Dark Armada has engaged the coalition since it was first formed, several months ago the Armada began taking two systems from Communism Interstellar breaching the peace treaty they signed with the two allies, Communism Interstellar and Mercs of Mikunn - a precursor to the Border Coalition in its current form. Recently the Dark Armada attempted to take a third system from Communism Interstellar; however, this time the two allies have intervened. In the aftermath the Dark Armada declared war on not only the two original allies, but the Border Coalition as well, even though the system isn't under the jurisdiction of the Border Coalition.
In other news, Tiberius of Mikunn has announced his resignation as interim leader marking an end to the emergency powers granted to him during the attempted rise to power. "The Coalition will be returning to rule by the member council." Tiberius stated, adding "Currently no serious threats exist that warrant my stay as interim leader."

After slugging it out for another two weeks. The Border Coalition and Archon Delaine have come to a peace treaty. In exchange for Wadir, Archon Delaine we leave all surrounding systems and what factions control them to be at the discretion of the Border Coalition as well as all other BGS activity. Archon Delaine will also not be expanding any further into the Border Coalitions space and recognize the territory extending up to 60 LY from the Coalitions three capitols.

Following a sudden silence from Imperial opposition, the pirate lord Archon Delaine has made a grab at several of the core-ward border worlds. The Wadir system has fallen after a week of siege, despite a surprisingly ferocious resistance from the local organizations.
The capture of Wadir has put several systems of a fledgling alliance known as The Border Coalition under direct control of the pirate lord. This has prompted an emergency meeting which is likely to see the addition of The Winged Hussars to the Border Coalition boosting its affiliated forces to 700 commanders from the pilots federation.
Currently the Border Coalition is an odd medley of mercenary forces supplied by the feudal Dukes of Mikunn and communist freedom fighters from Manite. Time will tell if they are able to mount a sufficient resistance.
