Alliances
Alliances are the backbone of Nova Rift. Pool resources, research shared bonuses, coordinate rally attacks, and control territory together.

Alliance Warehouse
Deposits
Any member can deposit Food, Steel, Energy, Astromite, and Quantarite into the warehouse. Industrial doctrine players with Orbital Warehouse buildings serve as alliance deposit points with expanded capacity.
Withdrawals
Officers and Leaders can withdraw resources for alliance research or distribute to members. Warehouse resources fund alliance research upgrades directly.
Rally Attacks
Rally attacks are coordinated multi-player assaults. A rally leader initiates the rally, setting a target and a preparation timer. Alliance members join the rally by committing their fleets during the prep phase.
An Officer or Leader starts a rally from the Alliance Embassy. Requires Fleet Commander certification for bonus slots.
Members have a time window to join. Each participant adds their fleet to the combined force. Fleet Commander cert grants +2 rally slots per level.
When the timer expires, all committed fleets march together as one combined army. Fleet speed = slowest unit across all participants.
The combined rally force fights as a single army. All electronic warfare modules from all participants apply. Massive battles possible.
Doctrine Synergy
The Doctrine Synergy alliance research amplifies cross-doctrine cooperation. At max level (+15%), the benefits of having diverse doctrine members in your alliance are significantly enhanced.
Why diverse alliances win:
- Industrial members supply refined materials and operate Refineries
- Military members provide offensive power with Elite units
- Commerce members move resources efficiently and control trade
- Research members share Tier 4 tech buffs via Data Vaults
- Exploration members discover portal addresses and Secret Bases
