The struggle eventually resulted in the Alliance Parliament dividing into two political parties, the Expansionists and the Liberals. Swept into power on the back of the discovery of the KF Drive and remaining in power ever since, the Expansionist Party strongly believed in the authority of the State over everyone, be they on Terra or colonies light years away. Formed from those who initially opposed the huge economic drain of the Deimos Project and further sums spent on the colonies, the Liberal Party supposedly believed in personal freedoms were heavily opposed to extensive government interference. Despite their wildly different viewpoints, both became increasingly militant with no qualms about using force to achieve their aims.
