Coalition of the 76th Interstellar Congress

The Coalition of the 76th Interstellar Congress, Coalition of Powers, or simply The Coalition, was an alliance of many, if not most, of the members of the Interstellar Congress formed during the Labyrinthine War against the Æsir Dominion. It was founded on 12 June 2085, with members joining as late as 11 March 2115. The Coalition was dissolved in 16 November, 2115 at the end of the Labyrinthine War.

The Coalition finds its origins two years after the invasion of the Interstellar Union, shortly after the Battle of Upstett Pass occurred. Facing a realization that the Dominion would likely take over the entire Labyrinth, the Interstellar Congress voted that a Coalition was necessary to stave off the threat of extinction of the Labyrinthine species at the hands of the Dominion. The Coalition Charter was written between 4 and 10 June 2085, and was founded between the Confederacy of Free Stars, the Interstellar Union (in exile), and the Dual Kingdom of Iserlohn-Kyffhauser.

The Eanic Community chose to stay out of the Coalition up until 2109, after an attack on an Eanic Outer Sphere colony, prompting the Eanic Community to declare war on the Dominion and join the Coalition. Similar instances drew the United Nations into the Coalition in 2114, and the Coalition of Separated Stars a year later.
