The '''Senatorial Alliance''' or '''Senate Alliance''' was founded in [[3135]], in the wake of the [[Republic of the Sphere]]'s [[Republic of the Sphere#Civil War|senators' rebellion]] on [[Terra]]. It was a small interstellar alliance located in the former [[Prefecture VI]] until September [[3142]], when it joined the [[Free Worlds League]] and was renamed the '''Augustine Alliance'''.

===Rebellion===
 
In April of [[3135]], [[Republic of the Sphere]] [[Jonah Levin|Exarch Levin]] proclaimed the Republic Senate abolished after it was discovered that they were trying to usurp the government by controlling various people in military and including the knights. The Senate's plan was discovered by [[Paladin Exemplar of the Republic|Paladin]] [[Victor Steiner-Davion]], who was later assassinated for it.<ref>''Era Report: 3145'' Vultures Circling - Senate's plot is exposed and after basic explanation of the aftermath.</ref>
 
  
Initially the group was referred to as '''Loyalists'''. They held various parts of Terra, including some parts of Europe including entire nation-state of Germany, as well as parts of North and South America.  As rebellion spread, more worlds joined the Senator's cause.

=== Rebellion ===
  
Their military campaigns was led by former Knight and later Senator [[Conner Rhys-Monroe]], who masterminded the military campaigns on Terra. The Senate Alliance forces attempting to capture [[Paris]], France and Leaders of the [[Inner Sphere]] who had gathered for [[Victor Steiner-Davion]]'s funeral in June, [[3135]] as a last attempt to regain control of the situation and end the "Civil War."

However the [[First Davion Guards]], [[X Principes Guards]], and [[X Triarii Protectors]] successfully defended Paris and forced the Senatorial Alliance troops to withdraw.<ref>''Shrapnel Issue #4'', Touchpoint: Ista Quidem Vis Est</ref>

Intially the group was referred to as ''Loyalist'', the Loyalist held various parts of Terra, including some parts of Europe including entire nation-state of [[Germany]], some part of [[North America]], & [[South America]].  As rebellion spread, so did worlds to Senator's cause.
  
After being forced off Terra, the various senators returned to their worlds and prepared to fight the Republic. Conner Rhys-Monroe conceived the plan to take certain key worlds and formally create the Senatorial Alliance.  He led a campaign from [[Markab]] to secure various worlds on his end to link the planets to worlds in Prefecture IV.  He led a key battle on the world of [[Ronel]] for its functional HPG Station. He was defeated again by a Republic Coalition led by [[Julian Davion]]. Conner and his Senate forces surrendered and withdrew from Ronel back to Markab. At the same time, [[Liberty]], the bridging world that linked Markab's side of Republic to Prefecture IV's worlds, was taken by Countess [[Tara Campbell]].  This effectively severed the alliance in half.<ref>''Era Report: 3145'', pp. 15, 18: Vultures Circling/Timeline - Senate rebellion and some details of the conflict.</ref>

Early attempts were made to capture members of the Inner Sphere's leaders as they arrived, had failed.
  
=== Independence ===

Their military campaign was lead by former Knight and later Senator [[Conner Rhys-Monroe]]. He had masterminded military campaigns on Terra. 
After the walls of the [[Fortress Republic]] came up in October of [[3135]], the Alliance consolidated its borders, including [[Park Place]].
 
  
To strengthen the Alliance military (dubbed the Alliance Patriots), a plan was hatched to take the independent world of [[Irian]] and its 'Mech factories for the Alliance. In July, [[3136]], a company of BattleMechs were shipped secretly into the warehouse of the massive factory's DropPort.  When activated by an inside spy, the Senate Alliance forces attempted to take control of the facilities to secure the production runs.  However, Irian planetary officials hired the newly formed mercenary battalion, the [[Wolf Hunters]], who then attacked the raiders and destroyed them before they could take any of the cargo of newly built BattleMechs.

=== Fortress Republic Era ===  
  
In September [[3142]], with the Alliance Patriots reduced to barely a battalion, the proto-nation joined the Free Worlds League as a member province, renaming itself the '''Augustine Alliance'''. One condition of the merger was that remaining Patriots be allowed to join the [[6th Free Worlds Guards|Sixth Free Worlds Guards]] and that this unit would be posted in defence of the nation-turned-province.<ref name=FM3145p24/><ref name =S8p98-101/><ref name=FM3145p97-98>''Field Manual: 3145'', pp. 97–98: "New Adoptees"</ref>
+
After the walls of the [[Fortress Republic]] came up in October of [[3135]], the Alliance consolidated its borders, including [[Park Place]].
  
On 8 January [[3149]], unknown forces landed on the Alliance worlds of [[Talitha]], [[Van Diemen IV]] and [[Wasat]] simultaneously. When planetary militia or [[Free Worlds League Military|FWLM]] forces arrived on scene to investigate, the mysterious forces refrained from opening fire for several hours until orders arrived from the [[Augustine Military District]] calling their units back, explaining that these troops were present as 'insurance'. It was later revealed that these forces had been sent by [[Devlin Stone]] as part of [[Operation SHOFAR]], an effort to create a buffer space in preparation for the lowering of the [[The Wall|Fortress Republic's Wall]] by convincing, bribing, or threatening various ex-Republic worlds back into the fold.<ref name=SFp62>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 62: "The Curtain Rises"</ref><ref name=SFp76>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 76: "Operations SHOFAR & ERUPTION"</ref>

To strengthen the Alliance military, a plan was hatched to take the independent world of [[Irian]] and its 'Mech factories for the Alliance. In July, [[3136]], a company of BattleMechs were shipped secretly into the warehouse of the massive factory's Drop Port. When activated by an inside spy, the Senate Alliance forces attempted to take control of the facilities to secure the production runs.  However, Irian planetary officials hired the newly formed mercenary battalion, the [[Wolf Hunters]], who then attacked the raiders and destroyed them before they could take any of the cargo of newly built BattleMechs.  
  
=== IlClan Era ===
+
In retaliation to the attack on Irian, the [[Oriente Protectorate]] sent the [[Eagle’s Talons]], their elite military force, and took Park Place as part Oriente.<ref>''Pandora's Gambit'', p. 104, "Eagle's Talons take Park Place"</ref>
 
 
In 3150, the [[LCCC]] redeployed the [[Covenant Guards]] and [[Fourteenth Atrean Dragoons]] from Alliance space to other regions. In July of 3151, news of [[Alaric Ward]]'s victory on [[Terra]] and the creation of the [[ilClan]] reached the Free Worlds League. In response to the rapidly changing situation on the border with the [[Wolf Empire]], the League withdrew the 6th Free Worlds Guards as well, leaving the Alliance without any regular forces to defend it. Decrying the seeming abandonment of the Alliance, members of the provincial government such as retired Senator [[Michael Riktofven]] sponsored the creation of a new regiment to defend the Alliance, the [[Augustine Arquebusiers|1st Augustine Arquebusiers]]. This touched off a minor political crisis in the League, and although addressing the status of the Arquebusiers was deemed a low priority at the moment, the question of whether the existence of a unit that answered to a province rather than the [[Captain-General]] is legal remains unresolved.<ref name =S8p98-101/>
