Coalition is a science fantasy engaged space story about a now-ancient coalition: a federation of nearly-innumerable individual governments that have, over a large (undefined) amount of time, banded together into a living beast that operates somewhat as a federation or league or union.
The Coalition is run mostly by its Archivists: individuals who have captured a small star and use its power, along with magic and technology and other forms of [thing], to power the archives: the vast store of all information that the Coalition has ever produced, required, or set into law. Several other bodies participate in the workings of the Coalition Government, but none so much as the Archivists.
Coalition, as a story, explores every theme from biology and agriculture; to science, magic, and magicience; to building, architecture, and the difference between deep space arcology and planetary settlements; to the function of an organizational body without a standing military; etc, all of the things making up the body of the Coalition.
Coalition also explores specific studies and stories of individuals within the organizational body and their interaction with its systems as well as particular case-study planets, like Pinna.
