“The Alliance” (after the Cylon’s term for their alliance with other creatures, such as the Ovions in the original series) is a broad coalition of like-minded online Battlestar organizations and a self-supporting webring.

The goal of the Alliance is to unify all like-minded Battlestar websites from all the series into one group, as a demonstration of unity across fanbases for all three series. The three series referred to here are the original Battlestar Galactica, Galactica 1980, and the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica. Furthermore, this is a coalition of sites that help out each other in times of need, supplying content and other kinds of support (whether financial, technical or promotional) whenever feasible.

The Alliance approves sites based off a list of criteria, center to which is that the sites do not engage in acts of disparaging viewers or the people responsible for any of the series. (It is one thing to constructively critique a BSG series, it’s another to engage in personal attacks of the people who watch or participate in the production.)

All Alliance members willingly support and execute the Declaration of Principles as outlined below:

  1. No website is to engage in activities that demean or libel against individuals.
  2. Sites may still employ criticisms of the series, its creative entities, or even websites, as so long as they are constructive criticisms made in a mature manner.
  3. All representatives of said websites must assume good faith on part of all individuals and act with civility, even when faced with people who are uncivil.

Additionally, it is the     goal of The Alliance to save and, at times, even restore old Battlestar websites which have gone by the wayside due to lack of upkeep, so that their unique content doesn’t die off into the internet.
