===Earth Alliance===

The '''Earth Alliance''' was a major galactic superpower in the Babylon 5 universe. The name of its military force EarthForce. Earth-Alliance had gained more technology than any other race in the known Babylon 5 universe: Dilgar, Narn, Centauri, Shadow, Minbari, and Vorlon tech all at one point in time.

It was founded at the end of the twenty-first century, after the Third World War: first as a loose coalition of nations, then as a tight alliance of nearly every nation on [[Earth (Babylon 5)|Earth]] as well as Alliance-controlled colonies throughout the Galaxy, though colonial populations have had a history of independence driven rebellion, especially Mars.  The Alliance is a unicameral representative democracy under the leadership of an elected President with a strong [[EarthForce|military]]. In one second-season episode ("[[And Now For a Word]]"), the Alliance is said to consist of 24 outposts and colonies in over a dozen solar systems.

Since the end of the [[Earth-Minbari War]], the Alliance had prospered in [[space trade|interstellar trade]], though some influential factions had become increasingly xenophobic and isolationist. Following the assassination of [[List of Babylon 5 characters#President Luis Santiago|President Luis Santiago]], the new President, Morgan Clark, formed [[Nightwatch (Babylon 5)|Nightwatch]] (a pervasive [[secret police]]) and dissolved the Senate, turning Earth and her colonies into a totalitarian fascist state.
