Alliance Ships

This is the Reliant, Soldier! Alright, soldier, listen up. You'll begin your tour on the ANS Reliant. It's an obsolete carrier that we have re-fitted for the use of the volunteers. The ANS reliant is in orbit around the last remaining vestige of the Western Alliance -- Oberon. All Alliance forces are fleeing to Oberon where the re-organization of the Alliance forces has begun, and a new H.Q has been established. The Alliance's losses in the initial strike even surprised the Coalition High command who are not ready to push the advantage. They need time to consolidate their gains and re-supply their Fleets thus giving the Alliance valuable time to re-organise. Familiarize yourself with the layout and await your orders.
