The Human Defence Coalition is a military, political and economic alliance of the four major human powers, formed in the year 2864 GC in the aftermath of the Shadow War. The original founding members were the Kurgan Empire, New Covenant and the United Systems Commonwealth, and was brought into force with the signing of the Human Defence Treaty. The Bridgend Commune was later admitted into the Coalition the following year, though with much controversy in the United Systems Commonwealth. The Coalition originally started out as a means of mutual defence against other hostile powers, but quickly grew into a political and economic organization in addition as a result of present good political relations between the members and rising tensions with the Galactic Entente. The Capital of the Human Defence Coalition is the fortress-station of Babylon 5, a heavily defended space station built at the intersection point of the three founding members borders, and within reach of several major military bases.
