Alliance

Alliances are social solar systems of players gathered around a shared Sun.

Player Roles
Allies within an alliance may be assigned roles by those higher in the hierarchy. The one and only leader is at the very top, followed by officers, then constructors, and regular members.

Leader
The role of the leader is to maintain the alliance. Upon creation, the creator becomes the leader of the alliance, but may pass the role on to an ally. There may only be one leader at a time, and promoting another player will take the lead away from the previous leader.

The leader may construct, upgrade and donate to stations as well as deactivate and reactivate them, initiate and participate in raids, kick or demote any ally, edit the alliance layout and those of all stations, initiate healing during raid, and initiate station reconstruction after a destructive raid.

Officer
An alliance may have several officers. Their task is to help the leader with the upkeep of the alliance in whichever way best suits the alliance in question.

Officers may construct, upgrade and donate to stations as well as deactivate and reactivate them, and initiate and participate in raids.

Constructor
An alliance may have several constructors. They focus on constructions and upgrades, otherwise having the same rights as a regular member.

Members
Regular alliance members are unable to access management tools of the alliance, but may donate to constructions and upgrades, and participate in raids.

All members of the alliance have the freedom to leave the alliance whenever they choose, and are right away able to join another one at will. They have the ability to chat in the alliance chat and gain bonuses from relics in the alliance and stations on their orbit.

Stations
Stations give a certain boost to all players whose planets are located on the same orbit as the station, the boost depending on the type of the station. Leaders, officers and builders of an alliance may initiate the construction of new stations, and leaders have the ability to move stations and planets on and across the orbits.

The construction of stations is done by filling the donation bar with donations of resources or gems. All alliance members may donate to all constructions, though lower level allies will not have the resources required for higher donation tiers.

Raiding
Alliances may initiate raids against other alliances or be raided by them. Raids last for 24 hours, giving the players in the attacking alliance time to attack several times, and the defenders to heal their buildings. If the raid succeeds, the attacking alliance will win some Alliance Points from the losing alliance and possibly gain Alliance Credits from chests won from the raid. In the case of a relic raid, the winning alliance keeps the relic. If the relic is thus moved to the attacking alliance, it gains a level. The losing alliance will no longer be buffed by the relic.
