How do I get permit for it?
And like, it’s only Ensign, what are you doing wearing full Fed colours if you’re that much a junior burger?
Doesn’t your boss have a “how to” for your Operation?
And didn’t it finish like a week ago?
What is this, phase two?
Putting us into retreat?

At least when I joined the Fed navy, I made polite excuses about how my kid wanted to see Sol in-game; actually of course I’ve never been to Sol. And I wouldn’t be seen dead in a Fed rank locked ship. I needed the Ross 128 permit to help the Alliance extend the Green Corridor south. Ross 128 was as close as we got to putting an Alliance faction into Sol.
See, people think the big inter-group wars come out of nowhere, but actually the mid-ranked folk like me and “Mostly Harmless Neb” here - we leak like a sieve.
Watch this space for occasional updates on Federation reprisals against “Alliance Opressors”. And hopefully William J Smith will sing his “I’m an innocent trader caught in the crossfire” song again.
That one never gets old.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you.
It's almost a feeling you can touch in the air
You look all around you, but nobody's there
It's been a long time now since you've been aware
That somebody's watching you
He's gonna get you
Do not consider whether or not you are paranoid. Consider rather, in this world of ours, whether you are paranoid enough.
The Alliance is not the Federation, nor is it the Empire. That's two things.Possibly. I'm just waiting for a faction in Elite that isn't too evil to support. They are all bad right now.
The one good thing one could say about the Federation is that its not the Empire.
The only good thing about the Empire is that its not the Federation.
The best thing one can say of the Alliance is... Um... No, I got nothing...
Thargoids maybe?

On paper the Alliance are the good guys/gals.
On paper yeah, but their actions make them the worst of the three... sadly.

Don't mistake the actions from some over zealous CMDRs that align themselves to the Alliance with the Alliance (same is true for the other superpowers).
Winning the hearts of unaligned CMDRs is much harder than brute forcing Alliance factions into systems, but winning the hearts of a lot of CMDRs is the only way to establish a stable peace and securing the Alliance territory.
I always thought that the Alliance was a group of systems that don't want to be part of either the Feds or the Imps. Alliance freedom is freedom to remain individual (sort of like a reverse Borg)- but at the same time it is a bit like the Borg in that once in, you are submerged in significant economic red tape (a bit like the EU) and becoming independent is difficult.
The Empire rules by a enforced hierarchy, the Feds are ruled by corps and the Alliance rule by bureaucracy.
