Government

Although each member state held its own executive powers, each were subject to legislation passed in the unicameral Alliance Assembly. The Alliance government enforced a heavy tariff on non-Alliance ships in its ports, unless a ship carried a letter of marque and reprisal or tax-free writ. Writs were considered precious by the sailors of the Stardragon Sea, as the tariff could rise to the tune of 20%.

After the fall of the Crown Alliance, letters of marque from the organization, though impotent, became rare collectors' items.
