Alliances

An Alliance is a group of Corporations. Multiple corporations together are able to do things which a sole corporation may not be able to do, such as hold sovereignty.

Forming an Alliance

Forming an alliance costs one billion ISK, and there is an Alliance Maintenance Bill which must be paid monthly, which is two million ISK for each corporation in the alliance. So an alliance with 20 members would cost 40 million ISK per month in maintenance fees. The Alliance Maintenance Bill is taken from the corporation wallet of the executor coproration, and can be set up to be paid automatically each month.

To form an Alliance, you must be the CEO of a corporation which is not currently in an Alliance. You must also have the following skill:

Empire Control

Alliance administration

Each alliance has an Executor Corporation, who deal with the administration of the alliance. To be an Executor, the corporation must have the support of the CEOs of at least 50% of the member corporations. To support an Executor corporation, the CEO must go to the Corporation window, then the Alliances and the Members tab, select a member corporation from the list and click Declare Support. The Executor corporation will be displayed in the Alliance Attributes.

The Executor corporation is responsible for paying the Alliance Maintenance Bill, and if this is ever unpaid, the alliance will be closed at the following downtime. It is therefore extremely important to ensure this bill is paid. It can be set up to be paid automatically under the bill pay settings.
