History:
Exploration (and subsequent exploitation) of the smaller moons of Saturn led this loosely-combined faction to begin to
pool their resources. What was once a bunch of independent survey and mining expeditions became a group that not
only depends on each other for support and trade, but allows them the purchasing power and trade that is usually
available to the larger worlds.
The initial fleet was small, after many years the Coalition became wealthy enough to not only support additonal ore
and gas mining ships, but even contract for the building of three Cortez-class Explorer ships. The first was destined to
become a mobile factory complex that travelled between Coalition moons and built needed machinery, as well as both
orbital stations and modules for ground-based facilities. The second Explorer came into use as a drydock and repair
station, repairing smaller Coalition spacecraft as it journeyed to each member world. The third, and final, Explorer was
commissioned into immediate service as long-range courier for gas and mineral operations between the Coalition
worlds and the Inner Planets.
Once the Coalition had established it's trade and support routes, a need was seen to add a military presence to keep
pirates at bay, and to prevent the larger and more powerful governments from annexing Coalition worlds. To this
end, a deal struck with the leaders of Earth led to the construction and delivery of two Agammemnon-class
destroyers, each with full complement of Thunderbolt fighter craft. These two military assets are in a constatnt state
of readiness; one is constantly on patrol between member worlds, the other is usually located near one of the two
major military facilities within Coalition terretory (location secret, later FOIA may reveal the location to qualified
Coalition citizens).
In short, the Coalition of Independent Moons is a member-run and organized free-trade government, with both
strong financial backing and capability to protect itself.
