The Interplanetary Strategic Alliance (ISA) is the military alliance of all United Colonial Nations colonies from the Kui'uyi Universe. The ISA acts as the main policing and defensive body for the citizens, and the main revenue gathering party for the local government. Each ISA command was directly subordinate to local colonial governmental authority, which in turn was subordinate to the Allied interplanetary authority. Since each ISA Command was an independent unit of each colony world, it is not linked to the military command of the Allies. As a result, the ISA Command's budget and strength are determined by the funds each local colonial administration provides.
During the First Multiverse War, the ISA became member of the Alliance of Nations while they were at war against their hated rivals, the Helghast Empire. The ISA meant to protect ISA occupied colonies and enforce them will by any means.
Like all other nations of the Alliance, the ISA was annexed into the fold of the Multiversial Federation.
History[]
As colonisation greatly expanded, the UCN discovered the lack of effective long-range communication caused gaps in the ability for the United Colonial Army to provide efficient defense throughout their vast colonized star systems. To rectify this problem, the UCN organized the Interplanetary Strategic Alliance, a military entity that allowed individual colonies the ability to integrate defensive capabilities to their specific requirements as well as enjoy full partnership in a unified defensive alliance of multiple colonies.
Colonial administrations provide funding and manpower whilst the UCN provides the training, equipment, and full political support for all of the interplanetary colonial administrations. The ISA acts as the main policing and defensive body for the citizens, and the main revenue gathering party for the local government. Each ISA command is directly subordinate to local colonial governmental authority, which in turn is subordinate to the UCN interplanetary authority.
Since each ISA Command is an independent unit of each colony, it is not directly linked to the military command of the UCN. As a result, the ISA Command's budget and strength are determined by the funds each local colonial administration provides. In 2133, (1391 NE) ISA Altair and ISA Alpha Centauri were the first ISA Commands established.
Organization[]
[]
The Navy is responsible for the defense of Earth's colonies and the suppression of any rebellions through space attacks and in the transportation of planetary assault forces. The ISA Navy is intentionally weaker than the UCA Navy to prevent the colonies from rebelling against the United Colonial Nations.
Their main ship-of-the-line is known simply as the ISA Cruiser. These provide the ISA with the persuasive force it requires to keep rebelling planets in line. Both these cruisers' weapons and their ground elements form the basic combat element of the ISA. At the time of the Second Extrasolar War the ISA Navy could deploy three battlegroups to Helghan, each comprising at least 24 warships, principally Cruisers. A large part of the ISA Navy consisted of Marines and Legionnaires, who formed an integral element of naval ship complements and as independent ground forces.
ISA Marines[]
ISA Vekta Shipbuilding Division[]
ISA Vekta Shipbuilding Division is a branch of the ISA that specializes in the construction of warships and aircraft.
Technology[]
Since ISA forces vary by the colonies they protect, the quality of technology within them differs. ISA Alpha Centauri for example was heavily relied on static planetary defense systems and localized security. During the start of the Second Extrasolar War, the Helghast overwhelmed the colony of Vekta as a result.
However, as the war progressed and more aid came from the UCN, ISA Alpha Centauri became a more powerful force. Powerful cruisers, such as the Gray Deceiver, indicated a radical swing toward offensive might.
