Tunnel Union

The Tunnel Union in a way is very similar to the Watch Dog Alliance but predates it by close to a century and a half and while brought together by war they were not actually threatened by it themselves and agreed to aid the Theban Cluster in stopping the Scultor before they could ravage the Sol System and eventually attacking the Tunnel Union systems.

The Tunnel Union consists of the Orlanc, Gnorm, and Halfarn Republics and the Dwuervan Hold, while the name sounds very odd at first it should be noted that all four polities are heavily into the mining industry and a lot of their facilities and homes are actually below surface level.

The four groups were brought together by the Theban Cluster when the Thermopylae was searching for allies during the 1st Pan-Galactic War. It was found that the four single system governments had a lot to offer each other in different areas of technology [Orland], agriculture [Halfarn], Industry [Gnorm], and mining and mineral development [Dwuervan] and thus a compact was reached between the four and they are now one of the largest providers of minerals and raw materials to the known galaxy.
