History
The Interplanetary Strategic Alliance (ISA) was a Human government that grew from Earth and colonized several planets in the galaxy. As new interplanetary colonies grew, the UCN discovered the lack of effective long-range communication caused gaps in the ability for the United Colonial Army to provide efficient defense throughout their vast colonized star systems. To rectify this problem, in 2133, the UCN organized the Interplanetary Strategic Alliance, a military entity that allowed individual colonies the ability to integrate defensive capabilities to their specific requirements as well as enjoy full partnership in a unified defensive alliance of multiple colonies. Colonial administrations provide funding and manpower whilst the UCN provides the training, equipment, and full political support for all of the interplanetary colonial administrations. The ISA acts as the main policing and defensive body for the citizens, and the main revenue gathering party for the local government. Each ISA command is directly subordinate to local colonial governmental authority, which in turn is subordinate to the UCN interplanetary authority. They would eventually encounter the divergent Helghast Empire resulting in the First Helghan War which was a victory for the ISA.
Years later, the Helghast would launch out a blitzberg attack against the ISA colony of Vekta and managed to disable the Strategic Defense Orbital Platforms that defended the planet.
Overview
The ISA primarily serves as a planetary defense force for UCN colonies, as the United Colonial Army, while powerful, cannot be everywhere at once. Their primary purpose is to provide security for the colonies and serve as the first line of defense in case of an invasion, to hold the line until UCN Army can arrive. However, to keep any colonies from being able to rebel against the UCN, the ISA branches are intentionally kept weaker than the UCN Army and in a direct confrontation, would likely lose.
The Colonial Intelligence Service was the ISA's more covert and subversive of their Intelligence services. This branch includes infield operatives and deep cover agents. Unlike their more violent counterparts, the Shadow Marshals, this branch focuses primarily on information gathering and political espionage rather than killing or sabotage. Infield agents are typically high ranking enemy officials and other such turncoats, who quietly feed the ISA with vital information, usually with their supposed allies never knowing better.
Strategic Defense (SD) Platforms were a large satellite structure with a solar sail, which powered a rotary device that housed several high-power lasers. These lasers were capable of making pinpoint strikes on cities, but their main task was to defend the planet Vekta from invasion.
