Corvetta Salvo
Always Crankin'
Not so long ago, in this very galaxy of scum and villainy, one [member="Jace Trent"] invited one Corvetta Salvo to have a drink with him in your typical cantina on Ord Mantell. He presented an idea that would be the foundation for this great faction: What if all of us smugglers made a pact to keep our competition strictly business and have each other's backs in the face of the galaxy's most scummy and villainous?
It was a groundbreaking proposal that soon became a reality as the people who actually run the galaxy through their own blood, sweat, and engine grease realized that it promised a more secure future for the little man in the face of the warmongering warmongers' wars. And pirates are a bit of a nuisance as well.
The Alliance is physically organized at a few shadowports situated at hidden locations around the galaxy, but the Alliance truly exists as a simple ideal. We are the people who make this galaxy turn and none of us should have to go this... Solo.
And yes, we still do meet in cantinas to discuss smuggler things... or more groundbreaking solutions to the galaxy's endless problems.
This is a public faction, open to all smugglers or more legitimate cargo runners who are looking for some mutual protection, fraternization, and just plain appreciation for being the hard-working, thrill-seeking, bar-frequenting, adventurous characters we are.
Also, the key benefit of joining the Alliance is that it gives you a place to hook up with potential customers and secure story-driving jobs.
This galaxy needs people who actually get things done without blowing up all sentient life that does not agree with them. Let's face it, the major factions here are a lot like this:
