The Sovereign Colonies Compact is an intergovernmental military alliance of Spacer nations, primarily located in Plateia's L4 and L5 points. Founded in the wake of Operation Boswilger, the Compact's founding objectives center around political independence from Plateian hegemony, mutual defense of Spacer interests, and self-determination for spacefaring peoples. While otherwise defined by a disparate mixture of political views and ideologies, all members of the Compact are united by general ideas of Spacer nationalism, as well as general disillusionment from previous conflicts, such as the Colony War.
While still in their relative infancy, the ideologies of these nascent revolutionary states have thrown the Coalition into total disarray. Rival blocs and states observe this revolutionary secession from the Coalition with a careful and guarded stance, exploiting the situation through symbolic diplomatic recognition of the Compact's member states. Behind the scenes, however, the Commonwealth and Union State alike remain wary of spacer nationalism, regarding it as a lit match poised to start a wildfire.
A multitude of strategic and political threats serve to leave the Compact in a tenuous position — aside from the disparity in manpower and resources between the Compact and the Coalition, not all inner feuds and political rivalries have dissipated with the looming threat of war. Many upstart opportunists see the changing tides brought about by the advent of spacer nationalism as a chance to secure their own base of power. Not all agree on the direction the future conflict might take, either. The problematic situation is only exacerbated by the tenuous support offered by the Commonwealth and Union State — a generosity that can seemingly be withdrawn at any moment.
