' Wrote:What exactly IS Liberty, Kusari, Gallia, Rhienland, Bretonia, Hispania? They're all representative of their countries. Why' wouldnt they colonize Sirius and call themselves the Alliance?
uhm well... you screwed the temporal order: first they formed the Alliance, then they colonized Sirius sector after fleeing from this solar system (just watch the FL intro movie again)
and from the wikipedia-entry for Starlancer:
Quote:It is the year 2160. Mankind has colonized the solar system and two political entities have emerged: the Alliance consisting of American, Australian, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, British and German forces, and The Coalition of Russian, Chinese and Middle-Eastern interests. The game begins with a surprise attack on Fort Kennedy, where a peace treaty turns into a bloodbath: all of the inner four planets are overrun, including Terra herself, and the Italian and French fleets are utterly lost.

Okay now i start wondering where the french in FL come from;)
Another riddle: How did Gallia build Trade lanes and Jump Gates? This is Ageira Technology and they never failed to recover a white box:P
just an advice for the future: do not confront fantasy or science fiction with too much logic - it is likely to kill a big part of your own gaming experience
