An alliance is an agreement between two or more parties, made in order to advance common goals and to secure common interests. In DRAW Your Own Story, alliances typically refer to inter-state collective defence agreements.

Good Guys

Parties who form alliances with protagonist factions are typically referred to as Allies (capital 'A').

CivGeneral and Co.

Not an alliance per se; a reference to CivGeneral's travelling party, usually consisting of the main protagonists from the current story. (For clarity, it only refers to CivGeneral along with other DYOSers and/or their main characters, and not S.T.A.R.S. teams.)

Alliances of opportunity

The easiest way to win a fight is by grossly unbalancing the odds. So say these guys:

  • kulade allied with the Combine in the hope of rescuing the New Avatar Order.
  • CivGeneral has received aid from Mr. Toyoda's forces on a few occasions and considers him an ally.
  • FDR's terrorist cell worked in conjunction with the remnant Combine forces.
  • The Coruscantis and Imperium reached a tentative agreement concerning the repulsion of the Combine from Arrakis.
