In the history of the Alliance, the Empire had waged countless wars against it, with the largest invasions nearly erasing the Alliance from the map of the Star Sea.
All citizens of the Alliance, in their educational history, had a mandatory course—a thorough understanding of Alliance history.
Every citizen of the Alliance knew well that their political system did not permit dictatorship nor absolute rule; a hundred schools of thought flourished, prospering together. Yet, on the other side of the Star Sea, the Sacred Empire, though they were also of the Human Race, was intensely despised, and national humiliation was etched deep in their hearts.
Every citizen of the Alliance looked forward to the emergence of a champion Marquis, leading the Alliance army into the Imperial Palace of the Sacred Empire, cutting down their flags, and making the Alliance the mightiest nation under the stars.
