Overview of the Alkaid Republic (Protectorate of the Union of Sovereign Solar Republics)

                  After the collapse of the Colonial Confederacy due to the Outer Sphere War, and the conquest of the Union of Solar Republics at the conclusion of that conflict, the foundation of a new stellar union came into being, the Union of Sovereign Solar Republics. The event which officially created the USSR was when Charles Dalltan proposed an alliance of both his Principality of Altair and Alphonse Zhukov's Alkaid Republic. A variety of other stellar nations also allied themselves with the USSR but in reality had little military resources to contribute. Only the Alkaid Republic and Alpha Centauri Protectorate had the military might to be of any real use to the newly formed USSR. The Alpha Centurai Protectorate focused on star systems that were counter-spinward to the Sol system while the Alkaid Republic space naval forces dealt with the spinward star systems. This put a burden on the forces of the Alkaid Republic.
                  Zhukov's new Republic had limited resources and a very small space navy in the late 2180s. By the time of the Ross 47 conflict of 2192 however, the Alkaid Republic space navy had grown considerably. This was due almost entirely to the refugees fleets from the now defunct Union of Solar Republics making their way to Alkaid and surrendering to Zhukov's authority.
                  While each of these fleets boosted the overall military strength of the Alkaid Republic significantly, this increase also brought with it the need for more resources to maintain it. That caused the expansion of the Alkaid Republic from just its one solar system in Eta Ursae Majoris to various star systems within a 250 light-year range of Alkaid away from the Local Group of Stars. This buffer was intended to help prevent any type of sneak attack against Alkaid.
                  Among the fleets that joined the Alkaid Republic was Commodore Sulaco, is commander of the 88th strategic space group. This group consisted of the newest classes of ships th Union of Solar Republics had to offer and were part of the forces that followed Generalissimo Kolchak to Alkaid as part his agreement with Alphonse Zhukov to take the governorship of the Izar star system. Governor Kolchak, leader of the Alkaidian Colony of the Epsilon Bootes star system set aside the 88th strategic space group and didn't declare it as part of the fleets from Alpha Centauri that were ex-USR. This was a relatively easy task considering that Izar (Epsilon Bootes) is 160.9 light-years from Alkaid. This distance provided a buffer between Izar and Alkaid that gave Governor Kolchak the room he needed to use the 88th strategic space group for his own purposes. The mission that Commodore Sulaco found his fleet charged with was the locating of the Posse Comitatus. Because of this, Governor Kolchak refit the 88th with new weapons, and engines that gave the fleet considerable range and firepower. He also outfitted Sulaco's fleet with sensor stealth systems that while not as extensive as the cloaking capabilities of the Light Bending Shield systems, the ships of the 88th were essentially invisible to enemy sensors.
