The capital system of Alba is the nexus of a densely populated hyperspace network, with extensive trading lanes established rapidly after the system was colonised. The Commonwealth&#039;s economy almost exclusively relies on trade, with Alban corporations maintaining some of the largest merchant navies in the galaxy.<br /> <br /> During the final stages of the Great War, the Commonwealth took advantage of a unique opportunity to offer its services at mediation. In a diplomatic triumph, the Commonwealth arbitrated terms that satisfied both the Federation&#039;s territorial demands and the Combine&#039;s need to save face to its citizens. In 2236, the Alban Commonwealth chaired a conference attended by representatives from every independent star nation to draft the Miranda Accord. The prestige secured the recognition of the Commonwealth as a Great Power. Though not the military or industrial equal of the Federation or Combine, the Commonwealth still commands substantial economic and cultural power.<br /> <br /> The Commonwealth is a constitutional monarchy ruled by the youthful Edward Wynson, a perspicacious and well-loved sovereign. Rumours circulate regarding House Wynson&#039;s ability to read and influence people, a trait shared by each generation of Wynson monarchs. This ability has taken on an almost mystical status from various embellishments over time.<br /> <br /> Commonwealth military strengths lie in research and development, personnel training and naval intelligence. His Majesty&#039;s Navy is the smallest of the three Great Powers but emphasis on these strengths goes some way to offset the disadvantage in tonnage</div>
