The Entente was formed in 2864 G.C as a quartet alliance formed by the Unani Empire, the Kingdom of Edolas the Crescanian Confederacy, and the Empire of Caelum under the initiative of mutual defense from two Galactic Threats attacking the empires at the time; the Shadows, and the Dark Serpents. Originally, it was focused solely on defending against these threats. But soon, due to the alien-hostile activities of the Human Defence Coalition, it changed it's focus to military, scientific, and economic cooperation as well as technological sharing between its members; not only combining the scientific talent, diplomatic skill and military might of the members, but also influencing each other's cultures in varying degrees. In mid 2865, Radient Garden, a not yet fully colonized habitable garden world initially serving as a joint Unani-Edolas research station, was chosen to be the military, diplomatic, and scientific capital world of the union.
The Entente has no official leader state, and is ruled through democratic consensus and voting. However, the Crescanian Confederacy is not used to the idea of democracy, seeing it as a weakness, and sees themselves as the dominant of the four empires due to their military and economical superiority, as well as the fact that they alone make up for almost half of the population representing the union. This results in the Confederacy making many demands and wanting a piece of everything, as well as a desire to be the one with the final say and the largest influence.
The Kingdom of Edolas, however, is more than willing to allow the Confederacy dominancy and participation. In their minds, the entire purpose of the Entente is to unify sentient life for the purpose of social, technological, and spiritual advancement. To that end they have continuously pursued peaceful alternatives to war with the Human Defence Coalition, very nearly managing to avoid war with them on several occasions. Despite this, they are among the main motivators for enhanced military technology, in order to defend against what they call 'Threats that cannot be reasoned with'. The Unani Empire is also complacent with their place in the Entente, aiding greatly in technological matters for the entire alliance.
The mutual defense system of the Entente does not act as a coherent group such as the Coalition HDC Battlegroups, instead; a far more versatile system of telepathic information sharing allows tactics and strategies to be shared among military commanders in different empires lightyears apart. These commanders share information on a daily basis, working on strategies together and on occasion engaging in virtual wargames. All commanders of every empire in the Entente use this system, increasing strategic and tactical capability by a hundredfold for many of them. Soldiers from every empire are trained together on the world of Radient Garden on a bimonthly basis, familiarizing combat tactics from each empire to every soldier participating in them. In regards to naval operations, fleets from each empire can regularly operate together to defend against threats using instant Jump Gates provided by the Empire of Caelum for when such a thing is required; but such fleets are rarely but together unless needed due to the lack of a need to, since effective and efficient coordination for such fleets can easily be maintained due to the aforementioned telepathic system and virtual wargames.
Regardless, the Entente is mainly focused on scientific and economic prosperity for each member in it. To that end, the capital world of Radient Garden is orbited and surrounded by an enormous ring station that both invents and improves new technology on a daily basis and provides advanced technology for each member-state's society. Trade agreements are also in place, greatly increasing economies and reducing poverty across every empire. This is a great blessing for the Kingdom of Edolas, which has long suffered from an overproduction problem that has now been completely solved.
