The Trinity Alliance is a mutual protection and non-aggression pact between the Capellan Confederation, the Taurian Concordat, and the Magistracy of Canopus, signed in August of 3062. The on the surface, the alliance was proposed by Sun-Tzu Liao as a means to advance the technology and capabilities of the Concord and Magistracy. Beneath the surface, the Alliance was meant as a power-play by Chancellor Sun-Tzu, a way of changing the balance of power within the Inner Sphere:
- Mutual defense allowed the Confederation to de facto increase the size of its military.
- A strengthened Taurian Concordat and Magistracy of Canopus would be a thorn in the side of the Federated Suns and Free Worlds League, respectively
- Within the Second Star League, a voting block of 3 realms eased the possibility of passing motions favoring Chancellor Sun-Tzu's policies
Interestingly, a similar scheme was proposed by a previous Capellan Chancellor. Chancellor Arden Baxter of the nascent Capellan Confederation proposed the "Thousand-World Coalition" in 2422. However, the initial proposal was rejected by Regent-Protector Admiral Sigur Fonn of the Taurian Concordat.
