First seen in [[Legion of Lawndale Heroes]] 12.5 - [[Two Tribes]], '''The Alliance''' is a collection of young men and women at the [[United States Academy of Extranormal Studies]] who, as Cadets Sixth Class (seventh-grade students) were placed together in a 'training cadre' - a grouping of students that would be together for classes and other activies throughout their six years in the ''First Academy''. Designated [[Training Cadre 2996]], the members of ''The Alliance'' all made it through the ''First Academy'' and went together into the ''Elite Academy''; even though they were in different majors, they stayed together as a group. Inspired by comics, television shows and the stories of the P.O.G.O. teams of [[DELPHI]], the cadets of T.C. 2996 began to use free time, and liberty periods (weekends off and vacation periods during holidays) to practice and train together, creating their own strategies and manouvers unique to themselves. This was encouraged by the USAES Deputy Commandant at the time of their enrollment, who was instrumental in forming T.C. 2996. ▼
They refer to themselves as 'The Alliance' because of the philosophy that while they come from different backgrounds, they have similiar interests (in this case, being superheroes) - which is what any successful alliance is made of... those who have similiar interests. Although they are not truly aware of it yet, ''The Alliance'' is the single most powerful and well-trained group of cadets currently enrolled at the Academy.▼

===Team Jackets===
Each member wears a black jacket, made from unstable molecules and a very thin lining of [[Salazarium]] micromesh. Each member has a flag on the right arm that denotes his/her country of origin (Most members are American, but Carolyn Field is Canadian and Fabian Nogura is from Japan). The Salazarium lining provides limited resistance to mystical powers and effects, protection from edged and projectile weapons (but not from impact effects) as well as allowing the wearer to fly at any speed and height that he/she can physically tolerate, while the unstable molecules allow for a perfect fit to the wearer, and use of any of his/her powers without harm to the garment. In addition, each jacket has a 'micro-environmental field emitter', which is powered by the wearer's own metahuman abilities and allows the wearer to exist in hazardous or uninhabitable environments for an indefinite period, as well as a secure-com microciever which allows the wearer to communicate with other Alliance members, or search frequences and communicate with other sources. The jackets are also highly resistant to staining, corrosion and tearing, and are maachine-washable and fade-resistant. The jackets were created by [[K.M. Sherrie]], who is [[Julia Carlyle]]'s roommate aat USAES.
The jackets also have the unofficial symbol of ''The Alliance'' on the left breast. The symbol is thirteen stars (representing the thirteen American Colonies before the formation of the United States, as well as all metahuman cadets who have gone through the Academy before the public acknowledgement of their existance), with ten of those stars white (to represent the members of The Alliance themselves, as new to the world of metahuman operations). The stars at the four and eight o'clock positions are simply tracings of stars, to represent those metahumans who have graduated from USAES to serve the United States of America without the citizens being aware of their service, and a gold star at the twelve o'clock position, to represent the cadets who have died in training while at USAES.
