The Alliance

The Alliance is a powerful interstellar confederation of human worlds. The Alliance was founded centuries ago by a group of human colonists who left Earth in search of a new home. The Alliance is a major power in the universe, and its member worlds are technologically advanced and prosperous.

The Alliance is governed by a parliament that is elected by the citizens of its member worlds. The parliament is responsible for setting policy and making laws for the Alliance. The Alliance also has a military force, which is responsible for defending the Alliance from attack.

The Union

The Union is a loose confederation of human worlds that are not part of the Alliance. The Union was founded by a group of human colonists who left the Alliance due to disagreements with the Alliance government.

The Union is a much smaller and less powerful confederation than the Alliance. However, the Union is home to a number of independent worlds that are not subject to the rule of the Alliance.

The Merchanter's Alliance

The Merchanter's Alliance is a powerful trade organization that operates in the Alliance-Union universe. The Merchanter's Alliance is made up of a number of different merchant companies that are responsible for transporting goods and services between the different worlds of the universe.

The Merchanter's Alliance is a powerful force in the universe, and its members are often able to influence the policies of the Alliance and the Union.

• The Hani
• The Mri
• The Atevi
• The Shon'jir
• The Kiint

These civilizations are all unique and have their own cultures and histories. They often interact with the Alliance, the Union, and the Merchanter's Alliance, and sometimes play a role in the events of Cherryh's novels.

The Alliance-Union universe is a vast and complex setting that is home to a number of different civilizations and cultures. Cherryh's novels explore the political, social, and economic relationships between these different civilizations, and provide a fascinating glimpse into a possible future for humanity.
