Sine historia hominum - "No history without humanity." We live in a prehistoric world, for only the fully human can write history, and we're not fully human as long as slavery exists in the galaxy. In the spirit of William Lloyd Garrison (founder of the "Liberator" abolition newspaper) and Frederick Douglass (founder of the "North Star" abolition newspaper), we stand fast against the original sin of galactic expansion - slavery - and for the freedom of all people.

You have an interesting model...lots to learn from (I'll leave the Theocracy aside), thanks.
Our alliance theocracy Xbox group are willing to support you lawfully, send us a coalition on inara. If I may add something to the conversation...
It churns my stomach to see an alliance faction asking for slave donations, i have seen it numerously from all manner of alliance factions (freemen excluded) we find it appalling that the mission engine subjects to this. THIS is the priority. I propose a petition.

Can you explain the multiple references to Imperials, and the omission of Feds (and indies), when the Alliance is in the north core, surrounded by Feds and Indies (and a few stray imps for weird reasons), while the Imps are in the south core, nowhere near Alliance territory?
(Also, should you wish to join in with other Alliance player groups, send me a PM, and I'll send you some Discord links)
