Colonial Coalition
The Shoals |
|
The Colonial Coalition is a group of seven Federation colonies that line one of the most distant borders of the Federation in the Shoals. The closest trading hub to these colonies is in fact not a Federation member but the allied world Esperance, which is home to the major spaceport Star Station Esperance.
In 2391, the Federation News Service published an editorial by the Colonial Coalition urging the Federation Council to curtail foreign aid and focus more resources on Federation member worlds and its colonies, which were suffering from natural calamities and plagues, continued piracy and raids, and renewed Klingon aggression.[1] The outer colonies in particular were growing disgruntled at the lack of supply runs due to refusal of service by the Federation Transport Union and had begun relying on non-Federation sources for trade.
